Description

i2 is designed for ease of use to accommodate the multi-device, multi-jurisdiction expansion necessary for today’s ITS applications. Expandable and customizable as an agency grows and changes, i2 provides a full featured, object oriented graphical user interface to support centralized management and control.

Detail

Components are implemented in a single integrated platform for information management, graphical data display, and system control.

Features

• Open system architecture.
• Distributed client / server architecture interconnected via a local area network (LAN) for performance tuning and scalability.
• System expandable from 10,000 controlled devices solely through the addition of hardware.
• PC based using Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and 2000 workstations.
• Field communciations processing distributed between central communications processors, optional field communication hub processors and local controllers.
• NTCIP Communications support of field control equipment.
• Additional support for the California AB3418 and AB3418E protocols and other controller manufacturer specific protocols.
• Supports IP addressable devices.
• Provides a single integrated platform for information management, graphical displya, and system control for arterial and freeway management
• Provides multi-jurisdictional support allocating operator privileges to contolled equipment
• Provides an integrated environment for the management and control of signalized intersections, dynamic message signs, CCTV surveillance cameras, ramp metering devices as well as other ITS devices of interest from a single integrated display environment
• Provides a full features, object-oriented graphical user interface to support centralized management and control of numerous ITS devices.
• Supports Model 2070 variants, NEMA (Econolite ASC/2 and Eagle EPAC), Model 170, and Advanced Transportation Controllers.

• Microsoft Windows based platform provides ease of use associated with MS Windows applications.
• User can uniquely configure displays and collect, manipulate, and display data.
• Graphic icons provide easy and intuitive access to traffic control data, real-time data, parameter database and graphic image files.. Special graphics libraries and tools allow operators to modify displayed maps and icons.
• Support for multiple levels of background maps using commercially available file formats.
• Graphic maps are multifunctional, displaying real time system status at a particular zoom level while also supporting devices selection and map navigation features.
• All traffic system reports, graphic displays, and dialogs are accessible through the user interface.
• Access control features include multiple access levels and association of equipment to jurisdictions.
• Formatted data entry screens are provided for storing and editing parameter data for various system elements such as traffic signal controllers.
• User alerts are issues in the form of pop-up message boxes during system operation.

Optional Features

• Integrated control of CCTV and dynamic message signs
• Dynamic links to traffic signal timing programs such as Synchro
• Light Rail Transit preferential treatment
• RHODES adaptive traffic control capability (requires permission of the University of Arizona).
• Multiple access levels and association of equipment with jurisdictions
• User alerts are issued in the form of pop-up message boxes
• All traffic sysetm reports, graphic displays and dialogs are accessible through a graphical user interface
• Graphical maps are multifunctional, displaying real-time system status
• Center - to - Center communications

Benefits

With the implementation of the Center to Center interface the i2 traffic control system becomes an integral component of a compelling regional system with communication links between other central systems and interface programs such as TACTICS Regional.
