Furnish all labor, equipment and material to install an Adaptive Control System designed for transportation and traffic applications. The system must include an adaptive control system closed loop master field processor, upgrade existing traffic signal controllers, installation of additional detectors (if required), adaptive control system software, integration and training of the adaptive control system. 2. Materials. Provide new materials that meet the requirements of the plans and this specification. 3. General. A. The adaptive control system software is designed to adapt the splits and offsets of signal control patterns/plans in a “closed-loop” master-based traffic control system. Changes to cycle time are handled on a time-of-day schedule like traditional traffic control systems. At each optimization step, which occurs about every 10 minutes, the system changes the splits and offsets a small amount (2-5 seconds) to accommodate changes in traffic flows. B. The adaptive control system performs its optimizations by polling each local controller for detection and phase status data once per minute. This allows the adaptive control system management computer system to manage local controllers, depending upon communications rates. A minimum of 115Kbps is required to run local controllers. C. The adaptive control system must support both serial and Internet Protocol (IP) communications with controllers using any communications media, i.e. fiber, wireless, hard wire. It must be capable of utilizing both serial and IP communication in one adaptive control system. D. The adaptive control system must be configurable through a web-based user interface from a laptop computer connected to the adaptive control system field processor. The configuration data must be uploaded directly from the local controllers with no additional user data entry, allowing the user to configure links, ring sequences and detectors so the system can begin processing the data for traffic adaptive control. E. As the adaptive control system is running, web pages must be updated each cycle to provide the status of each intersection performance and the changes that the adaptive control system makes to the splits and offsets. The performance measures must then be archived to a data store (up to a month of data must be stored on the field processor in compressed files) for future analysis and retrieval. T-2 4. Functional Requirements. The principal adaptive control system must consist of: A. An adaptive control system central hardened PC in a field cabinet or a Standard PC in an office environment if Ethernet is available to the local controllers. B. Field hardware controllers C.

The system must provide a browser-based client application, Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 or higher. D. The system must be provided with 115Kbps or faster hardened multi-drop serial modems or IP network communications. E. There must be an IP connection to the field master cabinet location for viewing status and configuration web pages on the adaptive control system processor. F. Provide traffic detection as required on the plans. G. Provide IP addressable modem or other IP communication media for upload/download of controller databases, remote web-page viewing for configuration and status and for remote management and support. H. The system must provide time synchronization between the server and field devices using GPS, WWV or NTP. I. Contractor will provide a new signal controller assembly that meets the requirements of the details shown on the plans. Provide controller assemblies from manufactures prequalified by the Department. The Division of Transportation maintains a list of prequalified controller assembly manufacturers. J. Currently the Controllers located in this district are McCain running McCain 233 RV2 Software. To run ASC, for example, software would have to be McCain 233 MC1 or McCain 2033RV or McCain Omni Ex) 6. Operational Requirements T-3 A. There must be 7 operational modes for the adaptive control system; Configuration mode, Synchronization mode, Validation mode, Monitoring mode, Analysis mode, Control mode and Shutdown mode. B. The adaptive control system must be configured so the timing plans will adjust to traffic fluctuations without the need for operator over-ride. C. The adaptive control system must have the capability to be manually turned off and on. D. The adaptive control system must operate on a time-of-day schedule or through manual commands. E. The adaptive control system must provide real time adaptive control information for cycle times, offsets, split allocation, phase length, demand dependent phase activation and detector fault warnings. F. The adaptive control system must provide for the capability of pre-emption of the controller for emergency vehicles and signal-timing optimization must automatically recover after pre-emption. G. The adaptive control system must recover automatically after a power outage, power surge, or communications failure. H. The system must use existing traffic detectors, where available, for data collection and performance tuning. I. The adaptive control system must provide status displays for monitoring the traffic adaptive operation for split tuning, offset tuning, pattern history and phase timing history. J. The adaptive control system must maintain once per minute communications from the field processor and local controllers. 7. Construction. The contractor must upgrade existing controllers, provide and install the adaptive control system field processor, establish communications with local intersection controllers, provide communications with system workstations, and configure all operational parameters to complete an operational adaptive control system. 8. Training. A. Upon successful operation of the adaptive control system the contractor must provide two days training.

(2) A Rain Day is defined as a potentially lost workday on which rainfall is equal to or greater than 0.10 inch. (3) A Drying Day is defined as a work day(s) immediately following a rainfall equal to or greater than 1.00 inch, which is potentially lost because of wet ground conditions. (4) A Workday is a day not excluded from work by Section 108. S-12 (5) Unusually Severe Weather. When the number of Actual Workdays Lost is greater than the calculated Total Lost Days for the month in question. (b) Reasonably Predictable Weather. The Contractor shall determine Reasonably Predictable Weather for this contract by completing Table R1. Data for Table R1 shall be calculated as follows: (1) Using the last ten (10) years of historical weather data from the nearest NOAA weather data collection station, compute the average number of workdays lost (rain days plus drying days) for each month and the standard deviation from the average.

(2) The Total number of Lost Days (Average Workdays Lost plus one Standard Deviation, rounded to whole days) will be considered normal for each month. (3) Submit a completed Table R1 with the initial construction schedule. (c) Unusually Severe Weather the Contractor can request time for a delay due to Unusually Severe Weather. For this contract, Unusually Severe Weather due to rainfall is defined as when the number of Actual Workdays Lost is greater than the calculated Total Lost Days for the month in question. The number of Actual Workdays Lost is calculated by first totaling the actual Rain Days plus the actual Drying Days occurring in the month in question. From this total, deduct any workdays meeting the following conditions: (1) The Rain Day or Drying Day occurred on a non-work weekday such as a holiday. (2) Rainfall occurred at a time when no weather dependent work was in progress or occurred during planned or unplanned shutdowns due to other circumstances such as equipment failure, strikes, material supplies, delays, etc. (3) The Contractor was still working or able to work on weather dependent activities to the extent that less than 50% of the workday was lost due to weather. If the net number of Actual Workdays Lost is greater than the Total Lost Days, than Unusually Severe Weather will have occurred in the month in question. (d) Time Adjustments for Rain Delays If the net number of Actual Workdays Lost to rain is less than the Total Lost Days for the month in question, no S-13 time adjustments will be made. If the net number of Actual Workdays Lost is more, then an excusable time extension may be granted. The Contractor must submit a Weather Time Impact Analysis supporting any alleged delays due to Unusually Severe Weather. (e) Delays Due To Other Weather Conditions Delays due to other unusually severe weather conditions (heat, high winds, etc.) must be supported with a Weather Time Impact Analysis using historical weather data. 155.06.
