III. Traffic Signal Infrastructures and Synchronization Inventory A. Traffic Management Center City Traffic Management Center was constructed in 1993 to provide a central housing for all traffic signal system, communication hardware and traffic signal video/monitoring system. The TMC is located in main City Hall In 2016, the City replaced the outdated video wall display with a state of the art LCD matrix digital video wall. The video wall display allowed for the integration of the new video management system. B. Traffic Signal System, Controllers and Cabinets City's current Traffic Signal System is Telvent's Management Information System for Traffic (MIST, version 4.0); a computer based centralized traffic control system that runs on Windows operating system and utilizes user friendly Graphical User Interface. MIST allows the city to manage and control the traffic signals on a real-time basis. The City plans to upgrade the system to add data collection and analytics capabilites to assist with traffic signal timing fine tuning. In 2011, The City completed an eight phase projects to upgrade all outdated NEMA controllers to the latest 2070 controller and firmware. This allows the City to fully integrate and utilize MIST in managing all 302 traffic signals effectively. The City's standard traffic signal controller is Econolite 2070L or 207ON with ASC3-2070 firmware. The City plans to upgrade all controllers to Advance Traffic Controllers to prepare for transit signal priority and connect vehicle technology. The City currently has two types of traffic signal cabinets in the field: NEMA (P & M) and Type 332 cabinets. The City plans to upgrade the cabinets to Type 332 as funding is available. C. Traffic Signal Surveillance System The City started utilizing CCTV to monitor and manage its traffic in 1993. The City now has 95 CCTVs to monitor traffic at every major intersection and critical points on the City arterial network. There are 56 older analog CCTVs and 39 digital CCTVs. The City plans to upgrade all analog to digital CCTV when funding is available. In 2015, the City deployed Milestone XProtect Video Management System to fully integrate all CCN cameras into one centralized video system. The video management system has simplified the video viewing process, provides recording capabilities and will allow for future video sharing with other departments. D. Traffic Signal Communication Communication to field traffic signal controllers and CCN is done via several methods: Hardwire interconnect, Fiber-optic and wireless. Most of the traffic signals communication is via the City underground hardwired interconnect network, and similarly, communication to CCTV is via the City underground fiber-optic network. 8 55B-14
