Overview

abstract

  • Also see KLK250, Phase I of this project.

    The additional work in Phase II of this project expands two tasks included as part of the FY01 funded project:

    Task 8 will be modified and expanded. The additional work will focus on the upgrade to the University of Idaho's Traffic Controller Laboratory and the development of guidelines that can be used by the Idaho Transportation Department and others to implement closed loop and centralized traffic control systems in small towns. While the first phase of the project provides funding to develop the laboratory, the second phase will provide funding to develop remote access capability to it. The remote access capability will allow users across the state and across the nation to use the laboratory to develop and test traffic signal timing plans using real-time hardware-in-the-loop stimulation (RAHILS) in conjunction with UI's controller interface device. The laboratory is an essential part of both phases of the project for signal timing testing and for workforce training.

    Task 10 will be expanded to include the supporting communications system needed to connect the city's traffic controllers. Communications systems linking the traffic control system with ITD District 2, the city's engineering maintenance facility, and with NIATT's traffic controller laboratory and will be designed and installed. Construction drawings will be prepared for all signal and communications systems installation.
