| Project Description: | This project was initiated as the FY 2001 ITS Integration Program earmark for Moscow, Idaho. FY 2001 project objectives included: - Developing and implementing a plan to improve traffic flow and safety in the City of Moscow by upgrading and integrating the city's traffic signal control system. - Developing and applying a protocol for the design, implementation, and testing of traffic signal timing plans using real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation. - Providing a list for the implementation of NTCIP Standards in a small town traffic control system. FY 2001 funding will also deploy new traffic controller cabinets at ten intersections currently using outdated cabinets. Concurrently, controllers and conflict monitors in other cabinets will be upgraded. Coordination will be provided by a master controller system using emerging ITS standards for on-street masters. This project has been expanded as a result of being earmarked in the FY 2002 ITS Integration Program. FY 2002 Congressionally designated funding is $827,318. Matching funds, federal and non-federal, increased the total funding to $1,654,636. The additional tasks to be accomplished with FY 2002 funding include upgrading the University of Idaho's Traffic Controller Laboratory and the development of guidelines to be used by Idaho Transportation Department to implement closed loop and centralized traffic control systems in small towns. The major component of the upgrade will be development of a remote access capability for the laboratory. This remote access will enable distant users to develop and test traffic signal timing plans using real-time hardware in the loop simulation in conjunction with the University's controller interface device. FY 2002 funding will also be used to deploy the supporting communications system required to connect the city's traffic controllers. |
