SEPAC 3.52/4.52 Controller Software New Feature Performance Measurements SPaT Priority Control USB Support 2

SEPAC® 3.52/4.52 Performance Measurement SEPAC Performance Logging is designed to capture internal and external controller events on a 1/10th second basis. It provides the logging abilities required by the Indiana Dept. of Transportation (InDOT). 3

SEPAC® 3.52/4.52 SPaT Messaging SPaT – Signal Phase and Timing Data Messaging Sends a UDP packet to the configured Destination address every tenth of a second Each UDP packet shall include: The minimum time before the phase will change to a different interval The maximum time before the phase will change to a different interval Current red, yellow or green status of each vehicle phase, pedestrian phase, and overlap Intersection Status Plan Number for TBC System Time 4

SEPAC® 3.52/4.52 Priority Control Buses and light rail trains need to stay on schedule to make public transportation an attractive alternative to other means of transportation. At the same time, keeping individual traffic flowing to avoid congestion, which causes a negative impact on the environment, is equally important. Giving high priority to public transportation without interrupting the general traffic flow has been a major challenge for conventional traffic control software in the past. 5

SEPAC® 3.51 Enhances Performance of Traffic Signal Control The latest version of the proven SEPAC traffic control software is focused on enhancing performance of traffic signal control for customers who use Light Rail Transit, Bus Rapid Transit and regular Traffic Signal Priority functionality. A new set of features improves the use of partial and full priority, with minimal impact on pedestrian and vehicle traffic. With more than 25 years of developing and testing, SEPAC is an unparalleled traffic signal priority software that enables mobility, safety and a better environment to help improve the quality of life in cities. 6

How Does Adaptive Control Work? Real time data collected 1 Information input is placed into algorithms 2 Special tuning, weighting and logic is factored 3 New timings are developed 4 Make a simple Block Diagram like Slide 38 14

Optimizing Signals Gives Added Benefit in Reducing Stops, Delays and Fuel Usage Achieves significant reductions in vehicle delay (21%), stops (25%), and fuel consumption (5%) 35% reduction in delays on a section of State Highway 6 in Houston, Texas $787,000 in benefits to the public for one year of operation in Bradenton, Florida 15

Siemens has two proven Adaptive Control systems to fit the unique needs of your city: ACS Lite and SCOOT® 16

ACS Lite Adaptive Signal Coordination Software 17

ACS Lite Overview Adapts and optimizes the splits and offsets of signal control patterns/plans along an arterial application Resulting in reduced delay, stops and fuel consumption Has flexibility to be deployed as an on-street master or as a centralized system

Goals of ACS Lite Siemens developed ACS Lite under contract to the Federal Highway Administration as a more accessible way to implement adaptive control Low Cost Design – make it easy Leverage existing infrastructure Standard US-style actuated controllers and logic (rings, phases, splits, barriers, gap-out/extension, etc.) Typical agency detector layouts Typical communications Use NTCIP Promote efficiency

What Parameters Does it Adjust? Controllers use normal timing plans ACS Lite changes splits and offsets based on traffic demands Cycle length is changed by time-of-day (TOD) Actuated logic and sequences are used Still use TOD changes 20

Findings An ACS Lite system can help to effectively reduce travel time on main street and queue length on side streets during peak periods, which in turn improves system efficiency, reduces emission and fuel consumption. Up to 32% reduction in travel time on newly time signals Comparing peak time traffic parameters before and after the study, we observed, No significant difference in traffic volume Significant travel time reduction Significant side street queue length reduction Average of 20% reduction in side street queues 21 21

Ann Arundel County, Maryland Use Case Annapolis, Maryland area experienced significant traffic changes Implementation 12 Intersections on Riva Road Project Costs: $141,000 Results Test showed 82% improvement in afternoon peek travel times Overall delays reduced by 26% Expanding system to other corridors From “The Capital” Newspaper article 8/17/2011

Use Case A Unique System for Tyler, Texas Growing traffic delays are ranked as the #1 concern in Tyler, similar to many other towns in the U.S. Signal timing plans do not get updated frequently enough Corridor traffic flows smoothly at peak times, but there are unpredictable off-peak periods due to commercial nature of corridor Traditional timing plans are weak Offsets change during traffic or weather events 23

SCOOT® Performance You Can See… Adaptive Signal Coordination Software 24

SCOOT® Worldwide Adaptive Control 200 systems worldwide Toronto Beijing London Dalian Minneapolis Santa Barbara Arlington County Chengdu Orange County Qingdao Cyprus Anaheim Chongqing Bahrain Cartagena Dubai Sao Paulo Rework and Update------ The Toronto pilot system of 75 intersections has now expanded to 240 intersection on line with the capability of 500. Toronto has over 1800 signals in its network Anaheim was a FHWA Field Operational Test to evaluate SCOOT control using existing UTCS detector- usually mid-block. The results showed improvements, in spite of reduced intersection count and construction However, it was not as good if full SCOOT detectors were implemented. Expansion of the system is currently under discussion. Arlington County is replacing an old UTCS system for its 230 intersection. Approximately 70 intersections will be under SCOOT control. Eagle is the prime contractor for this $2.5M project scheduled to be on line fall of 1999. Durban Santiago Port Elizabeth 26

SCOOT® System Architecture Traffic Control Functions Time-of-day control Traffic responsive control Quick response User interface to TACTICS and SCOOT The SCOOT server, via its scheduler, turns SCOOT on and off for the selected intersections. Once the EPAC controller receives the SCOOT commands over its communication channel, it responds. SCOOT control is dropped after 3 seconds of no SCOOT commands. The ACTRA system provides the normal traffic control functions: TOD control Traffic Responsive control Quick Response User interface to ACTRA and SCOOT The SCOOT server, via its scheduler, turns SCOOT on and Off for the selected intersections. Once the EPAC controller `sees’ the SCOOT commands over its comm.. channel, it responds. SCOOT controls is dropped after 3 seconds of no SCOOT commands. 27
