Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Projects
DTS delivers the management execution, technical know-how, and state-of-the-art equipment needed to successfully implement and maintain complex, mission-critical ITS projects.
Design, Installation, and Integration of a Roadway CCTV System:
DTS is developing and implementing a highway CCTV traffic surveillance system including all equipment, materials, labor, communications systems, and technical expertise. Once deployed, the system will have CCTV sites (both solar and AC powered), remote video encoder technologies, communications networks (including T-1, DSL, and wireless backbones), software systems, and a central monitoring system for remote viewing and control. We have a full support system in place for this extensive project including: dedicated technical resources, a field support office, inventory management, test systems and requirements definitions, installation and support, ready repair stores, maintenance vehicles, acquisition management, and traffic maintenance.
On-Call Maintenance and Service for ITS Assets Along a Key Corridor:
DTS is providing a complete on-call solution to help a network of ITS operations centers maintain a continual state of readiness for ITS field devices along a remote section of a highly congested, heavily traveled interstate. The ITS field devices, which span a 300-mile range and multiple districts, include: CCTV sites (both solar and AC powered); remote video encoder technologies; RWIS stations; communications networks (including T-1, DSL, and wireless backbones); software systems; restricted weather/fog warning systems; in-road restricted visibility lighting; dynamic message signs (DMS); highway advisory radio (HAR); traffic monitoring devices; and other traffic management field equipment. We provide 24/7 emergency response, preventative maintenance, and service calls. The project scope also involves preventive maintenance for intersection traffic lights on arterials leading to and adjacent to the interstate.
Dual Use Traffic Data Mining:
In support of a statewide data collection project and ITS initiative, DTS is converting statistical count sites to real-time ITS assets. We are progressively updating selected sites and installing new traffic monitoring sites that have real-time data capability for ITS, as well as statistical polling for traffic data analysis. As a result of this innovative project, it is anticipated that the state will realize improved data quality, expanded ITS assets, and program savings.
Repair and Maintenance of Metro CCTV Cameras Heads:
DTS mobilized an experienced team to replace CCTV camera heads on high service poles on a heavily traveled roadway. After the customer supplied basic equipment, we mobilized our work force, developed a work plan, maintained traffic flow, programmed the cameras, removed and disposed of the old equipment, pulled old cabling, and installed the new CCTV camera heads and associated equipment.
Rapid Deployment of CCTV Assets for Special Event:
A municipality tasked DTS with the design, install, and service a CCTV traffic surveillance system to monitor a highly congested transportation network prior to an annual special event The system included: CCTV (AC powered sites), remote video encoder technologies, communications networks, software systems, and remote viewing and control. From start to finish this project was accomplished within 90 days, allowing the local transportation agency to better monitor and react to traffic conditions.
Installation of Metro CCTV and Roadway Speed Monitoring Equipment:
DTS designed installed, integrated, and deployed ITS field devices that incorporated CCTV systems and microwave vehicle detection systems (MVDS)/RTMS The system included ruggedized ethernet switches, IP video servers/MPEG2 encoders, power management and isolation, and integrated ITS pole and ground mounted cabinets. We also provided comprehensive training for personnel using the system.
Specialized Work Zone Safety and Monitoring Project:
DTS provided a network of portable trailers outfitted with traffic flow sensing equipment and variable message signs that could be rapidly deployed to support an ITS work zone project. Information from the traffic sensing network was distributed over a CDMA modem network. The system distributed traffic flow information to the public via the internet and through remotely deployed variable message signs.
