A.3.2 Example ITS Communication System Design and Costs This section win present representative rrs systems, develop communication system architectures, topologies, and designs; select communication mediums; and develop cost estunation models. These win be based on the general characteristics of advanced ITS-related systems currently deployed to define realistic geographic areas, ITS-related device types and numbers, and kink distances. Examples win be developed for urban, suburban, metropolitan, and rural systems. Table A3.2-1 presents the generic characteristics of ITS systems for which these examples will be developed. The most difficult and vanable ITS communication cost elements to estimate are the civil and construction costs to install the interconnecting infrastructure These costs have many variables that include: - Local cons~uchon practices and labor costs; · Terrain and soil charactenstics; · Construction requirements: direct busy, jack-and-bore under concrete, conduit, etc; · Intervening roads, bndges, buildings, etc.; and · Suitable existing infrastructure: conduit, poles, tunnels, etc. Thus, He examples should reasonably represent normal costs, but must be adjusted to account for many vanable local factors. As will be evident in He designs, CCI,V video is a significant factor in emerging lids communication infrastructure design. CCTV cameras have an analog baDdw~d~ of more than 6 MHz, uncompressed digital bit rate of more Han 45 Mbps, and acceptable compressed fuB- modon video bit rate of 3 to 6 Mbps employing modon JPEG or MPEG compression standards. The cost of video encoders in late 1995 remains him ($5,000 - 10,000 per channel per end); analog video switching is also expensive. The example designs have been developed u id compressed digital video for the following reasons: ~:~NCHRP`Ph~2~prs NCHRP 3-51 · Phase 2 Final Report A3-16

Due to emerging digital video standards and supporting FCC activities, He cost of digital compression components, equipment, and systems will decrease. Future designs will be Be most cost-effective wad digital video; · Digital video ,i' s more cost-effectively switched in Me TOC; Digital video can be transmitted over long distances win essentially no degradation; Compressed digital video can be transmitted and switched using equipment which conforms to open, weB established communication standards (e.g. TI, SONET, etch; Digital video is easily addressed to multiple desdnabons, supporting Be integration goals of ITS; and · Eventually, video wall be cost-effec~vely digitized at Be CCTV camera By employing equipment based on open standards, obsolescence of deployed equipment will be minimized, since new equipment using rapidly advancing technology will generally adhere to standards or provide for backward compatibility. A.3.2.1 Urban tTS Systems Urban systems installed in the central business district (CBD) and adjacent areas of major cities must accommodate the following characteristics: · The streets layouts are often in a and system; · Freeways typically surround the CBD and extend to metropolitan freeways; · The typical urban city block is 500-1000 feet by 500-1000 feet; · Most CBD intersections are equipped win traffic lights; adjacent area intersections are more sparsely equipped; u`NCHRP\Phase:.rp~\ NCHRP 3-51 · Phase 2 Final Report A3-18

· Traffic controllers are implemented with microprocessors; they are equipped wig loops for traffic actuation or, on command, Hey can operate on Time-of-Day (TOD) timing plans; · Most of these existing traffic control systems (or signal systems) are supported by a communication system for coordinated traffic control; These urban areas are extensively concrete, so that new construction of wire and fiber cable plants usually requires expensive jack and bore installations; and · TOCs are operated by the city and typically are PC or workstation based. Emerging urban US communications requirements vim include: · Video surveillance, especially for sports and other special events in downtown arenas; · The loops of intersection controllers wiB be used for measuring traffic flow and accumulating statistics. Additional loops, or equivalent technology, will be added along arsenals to better detect and measure traffic conditions; · Coordination with other area ATMS systems, such as Freeway Management, over maffic control systems, etc., Mat require communications; · More advanced traffic management capabilities, such as adaptive traffic control (e.g., SCOOT, SCATS); requ~nng expanded communication capabilities; · Communication interfaces to over ITS services such as ATIS, transit, and emergency services; and · Video fingerprinting, for vehicle tracking and specific identification of vehicles (such as probe vehicle).

A.3.2.1.1 Example Urban System Design A generic urban map is depicted in Figure A.3.2.~.~-1 and has We following characteristics: · It covers a 3.5 mile by 3.5 mile area; · The CBD is in the center and is 2.5 miles by 2.5 miles; · Freeways cross Me CBD and extend out to suburbs and interstate highways; and Blocks in the area are generally 600 by 600 feet, street center to street center with some larger blocks generally in the outer area. The ITS system to be installed wall have the following charactenshcs: The area will be equipped wad 600 controllers, 60 CCTV cameras, and 20 VMS. The equipment count per quadrant is as presented in Table A.3.2.~.~-~. 400 of the 600 existing controller cabinets can be retrofitted and employed. · An arrangement with the local telephone company allows fiber installation in existing conduit except for the SE quadrant of Me CBD. Spread spectrum radio win be employed In this SE quadrant to reduce commun~cabon infrastructure construction costs which would be $25-30 per foot in this quadrant for jack and bore construction. · The city has employed T~me-of-Day (TOD) control with some loop-actuated control. Creasing traffic and daily var~abons warrant more responsive traffic coordination. · A new TOC will be located In Be northwest Dart of Be CBD. lost outside Be freeways. , ., · The system will be capable of emergency or backup operation from Be EMS TOC operated by the state DOT. The state DOT is 3 to 4 miles norm of the urban TOC with nght-of-way along tile freeway suitable for direct bury fiber installation along bow sides of the freeway.

· Real-time traffic data must be provided to a regional ATIS system Mat is In development to provide area-wide one-stop traffic information service to citizens. This system is located in the state DOT. The communication system design and topology is overIayed on We map (refer back to Figure A.3.2.~.~-~) and consists of a SONET OC-3 backbone with 4 nodes located on the 4 corners of the CBD. CCTV video is transmitted as analog from the field camera equipment cabinets to these nodes, where it is digitized into dual DS-1 circuits. The camera control is on an ElA-232 at 9600 bps. The system is designed with analog video local links because current video encoder technology cannot cost-effectively support the video encoder at He camera or camera equipment cabinet. The cost trend, however, is down and the digitized compressed video signal is needed for switching/transm~ssion to multiple sites and to maintain video quality for long distance transmission to support emerging ITS goals of integrated video data sharing. The pertinent features of the design are as follows: · A SONET OC-3, fault tolerant, counter rotating ring fiber backbone is employed wad 4 mul~tiplexers, one in each quadrant, interfacing to lower-speed local loops extending to individual field devices in each quadrant. . Analog video is employed from camera location to SONET node. Video dig~tizabon is accomplished at each node onto 2 DS-1 circuits or 3.088 Mbps. Current video compression technology is most cost effective in 16 video channel units at about $16,000 ($1000 per channel) per end (compression unit at node; decompression unit at TOC, or over location). Cost trends will decrease Me per channel cost and emerging new semiconductor products win permit moving the video CODEC to Me camera location. · Analog video transmitters and receivers are employed at field camera locations and at SONET nodes, wig integrated EL\-232, 9600 bps, full duplex, transceivers for camera control that multiplex Me one way video and 2-way data on a single SMFO channel. Figure A.3.2.~.~-2 is a block diagram of the video and data local links. · The VMS signs and traffic controllers are equipped win SMFO links win 9600 bps, ELA- 232 circuits employing drop-and-insert transceivers supporting fault tolerant counter rotating L;`NCHRP`Phase2.~prx ~ NCHRP 3-51 · Phase 2 Fmal Report A3-23

ring operation. Each ring is designed with a node transceiver and up to 10 field devices. This architecture supports future upgrade to higher speeds on We existing cable plant. · Redundant SMFO fiber cables win be installed along bow sides of Me nor~-sou~ freeway between the City TOC and Me State FbIS TOC (approximately 4 miles). The path generally permits direct bury tnstaBation approximately $2.50 per foot win 24 fiber cable. The State ~ install the cable and it is not included in Me cost. The cost analysis for this design is presented in Table A.3.2.~.~-2. This communication infrastructure costs approximately $6,845.00 per field node. A.3.2.2 Suburban ITS Systems Suburban systems are typically instaBed in proximity to major cities. Smaller cities have similar characteristics, but wad a surrounding rural environment and fewer surrounding sister jurisdictions and associated infrastructures. Suburban systems have the foRovv~ng characteristics: · Suburbs may be residential, commercial, manufacturing, business, or combinations. · The street layouts are more random, with major thoroughfares for non-residential travel to shopping areas, business districts, and freeways. · Freeways typically are in proximity for access to over metropolitan areas · A typical suburban block is approximately 1,000 feet by 1,000 feet, although there is considerable vanability. · Suburban intersections are equipped with traffic signals depending on need. Major thoroughfares and freeway access routes are usually equipped. Residential areas are usually not equipped. ~:\NCHRP~Phase:~p~\ NCHRP3-51 · Phase2FtnalReport A3-25

(Refer back to Figure A.3.2.2.~-~.) Thus, the system design has the following charactenstics: Table A.3.2.2.~1 Suburban Field Equipment Count and Data toad Analysis l l Count | Data Load Total | | Composite CCTV Cameras 35108,080,000 bps Controller 430412.800 bps 108,492,800 bps Shopping Center and Western Area CCTV Cameras 1649,408,000 bps Controllers 10096.000 bps 49,504,000 bps _ North of Freeway, Eastem Area, and Old Town Center CCTV Cameras 1133,968,000 bps Controllers 170163.200 bps 34,131,200 bps South of Freeway, Eastem Area CC1V Cameras 721,616,000 bps Controllers 160153.600 bps 24,857,600 bps Due to anticipated future grown in the shopping area, a SONET OC-3 multiplexer will be placed on the eastern edge of the shopping center. The EMS has requested plans be made for weir access to Me video and controller data and for grouch by adding additional cameras and controllers to be coordinated with the urban city to the west. Two SONET OC-! multiplexers win be located in the northwest area and Me southwest area as shown on He map. Analog video communication linlcs will be employed from camera locations to these SONET multiplexers. Each camera requires a dedicated fiber from camera to SONET node, although fiber cables can contain multiple video fibers and controller fibers. The analog video signals urn be digitized and compressed to two standard DS-1 (3.088 Mbps) circuits for transmission to the TOC. L:\NCHRP\Phase2erpt\ NCHRP3-51 · Phase2F~naIReport A3-31

The traffic controllers will be placed on drop-and-repeat fiber circuits wad 10 controllers per circuit. To reduce cost, the city reluctantly decided not to use drop-and-repeat fault tolerant rings. Each circuit w~11 employ 9600 bps ElA-232 interfaces at each controller and at the SONET multiplexer. A local link interconnect design was accomplished as illustrated in Figure A.3.2.2.~-2. It was determined that the western area required 60 miles of fiber cable, the northeastern and southeastern areas each required 30 miles of fiber cable. Each area requires 50% 24-fiber cable and 50% 12-fiber cable. Table A.3~2.2.~-2 details the cost to install the system. The cost for field equipment for the communicator infrastructure is approximately $5,570. A.3.2.3 Metropolitan ITS Systems Metropolitan systems have historically consisted of Freeway Management Systems (IBIS) installed in major metropolitan areas. These systems typically have had Me following characteristics: The freeways serve local commuter needs with peak rush hour traffic during workdays in the morning and evening. Special events can also create congested traffic conditions at venous times. Dunng over times We freeways serve extended area travel needs, usually with reduced traffic. Incident detection and response are an important requirement. . Metropolitan freeways interconnect win Me regional interstate highway system and are ~rough-~affic routes. Metropolitan freeway entrances and exits are Epically spaced to coincide with major crossing arsenals, with typically ~/z to ~ mile spacing. Entrances and exits are often instrumented win loops to detect traffic. l ~:\NCH~Phas~.rp~\ NCHRP 3-51 · Phase 2 Final Report A3-32

. An FMS instruments each lane with loops, or equivalent technology such as video processing, to measure the volume and occupancy of traffic and to detect incidents. -Loops are typically spaced at t/4 to i/2 mile intervals or more depending on congestion. · Ramp metering is frequently implemented to control freeway volume and is usually operational only dunng peak hours. This consists of lights to control access to freeway using computer-controDed time intervals based on measured traffic. · Controllers for loops and ramp metering are implemented win microprocessors and are often re-programmed traffic controllers. Video surveillance cameras are typically located at t/2 to 1 Me intervals. An FMS typically has extensive communication infrastructure. · Freeways often have rtght-of-way suitable for lower cost direct bury fiber or wire cable installation or suitable reasonable cost conduit instalRation. . . FMS TOCs are typically operated by special Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) Councils of Government (COG), or State DOTs. · An FMS is usually workstation-based, equipped win video monitors, large screen displays, and/or video wags. Typically an FMS provides metropolitan and regional TOC services to other juu~sdicdons/agencies and generally serves a regional coordination role. Emerging metropolitan ITS communications requirements will include: . Integrated operations win traffic control systems of jurisdictions in the metropolitan area. Communication infrastructure will be required to support data sharing and coordination to support many functions such as freeway traffic diversion dunng incidents, coordinated multijurisdictional timing plans, special event traffic control, etc. ~.\NCHRP\Phasez.rpr\ NCHRP3-51 · Phase2F~nalReport A3-35

Metropolitan TOCs win provide backup TOC support for after hours and weekends to minimize individual jurisdiction TOC staffing and perhaps maintenance costs. This win require facilitating communication architectures and infrastructures. ~ 1995, FHWA announced plans for integrated mode] city llS programs. This will integrate metropolitan traffic control systems, FMSs, Emergency Services, Public Transit, ToD Infrastructures (e.g., bridges, tunnels, toDroads, etc.), and Advanced Traffic Information Services (ATIS). The ATIS win be an integrated metropolitan "one stop shopping" service win Integrated access to data from all organizations and systems. This win require facilitating communication architectures and infrastructures. A.3 2.3.1 Example Metropolitan ITS System A metropolitan area with typical ITS characteristics is depicted in Figure A.3.2.3.~-1 and has the following charactenstics: The area has an outer loop on a 10 mile radius from the city center. · The area has a Central Business District (CBD) that is 2 miles by 2 miles. · Two nor~-sou~ freeways extend through the area and pass by the eastern and western sides of the CBD. An east-west freeway extends through the area and passes by the southern edge of Be CBD. The freeways have been experiencing increasing peak hours congestion and increasing incidents.

The ITS I;MS to be instaDed has the following charactenstics: . For the area approximately 125 miles of freeway: 63 miles of outer loop, 20 miles of the east freeway, 20 miles of the west freeway, 20 miles of Me southern freeway, and 2 miles of Me CBD bypass. · CCTV cameras are to be placed at approximately 1-m~le intervals along the entire freeway system. · Loops are to be placed at I/3-mile intervals along Me entire system. Ramp metering is to be employed in the northern portion of the eastern freeway and along Me northeast portion of the loop. The soup portion of the western freeway is to be widened in about 3 years. The communication infrastructure for this freeway wiB be implemented with wireless equipment that can be easily relocated during and after construction. The TOC wiD be located on the southwest edge of Me CBD as depicted on the map. Eventually Me TOC will provide backup TOC services to signal systems of many of Me jurisdictions in the area. Spare conduit and/or dark fiber will be included in the planning. The center city signal system win immediately be integrated as win Me suburb located at the northern end of the eastern freeway soup of Me loop. The field equipment count is presented In Table A.3.2.3.~-! and includes the composite data loads and the loads of venous geographical areas. Referring back to Figure A3.2.3.~-l, we see Me backbone topology overlaid. The communication load is partitioned into six SONET OC-3 Toads: 4 In each of the outer loop quadrants and 2 in the eastern and western freeway areas. The data loads on Me outer loop nodes marginally exceeds a SONET OC-l, so that Me OC-3 provides significant expansion capability. The system design has Me following characteristics: . The backbone communication links will employ fault tolerant counter rotating rings for Me 6 SONET OC-3 nodes, wad Me topology also depicted in Figure A3~2.3.~-~. L:~h~\ NCH"3-51 · P~2~Re"n A3-38

The local links win be drop-and-add, fault tolerant, counter rotating rings, with fiber circuits operated at 9600 bps except for We southern western freeway. Fiber win be run on each side of Me freeways to complete Me rings. The circuits will employ 10 drops per circuit. The outer links require 5-6 fibers for controllers and VMS. The 10 mile freeway segments extending from the east and west CBD nodes will require 4-5 fibers for controllers and VMS. The CCTV camera win employ dedicated fibers from a node to each camera. Analog video is employed from camera to node on fiber wad a fun duplex, ELA-232, 9600 bps camera condom channel multiplexed on Me same fiber. Redundancy win not be employed on these · - clrcults. The backbone and local link fibers will share conduit where possible (see map). The entire freeway system has right-of-way suitable for direct bury fiber installation; however, the backbone cable shah be placed In conduit and where instaBed win also be used for Me local link cable in a separate interduct of Me conduit. The conduit win be installed from the TOC east and west to the outer loop and Men norm and soup to nodes I, 2, 3, and 4. Node 6 is co-Iocated at the TOC and Node 5 is 2 miles from Me TOC. Total miles of fiber in conduit wall be 50 miles (times 2 for both sides of freeway), 63 miles of fiber win be instaBed by direct bury me~ods. Table A.3.2.3.~-2 presents an analysis of Me fiber cable count requirements. The 10-mile southern part (node 6) of Me western freeway win employ microwave for the backbone links and spread spectrum radio for Me local links. This segment of the western freeway has 10 CCTV cameras, 33 controllers, and 2 VMS. A backbone will be developed using Me emerging 38 GHz band microwave RF equipment. A repeater/drop will be placed every mile and approximately co-located with a video camera. A DS-0 channel Will be at dropped repeater sites aIld a EIA-232 at 9600 bps will be mul~plexed/demultiplexed for interfacing to a self-networking spread spectrum radio for communication to controllers within i/2 Ale of each repeater.

The ramp meter controllers are capable of supporting loops and will perform a dual function at common locations. Table A.3.2.3.~-3a and Table A.3.2.3.~-3b present the alternative cost analysis for this design. Since fiber in conduit dominates the cost of We system, He design was modified to employ 10/11 GHz microwave OC-3 backbone links from He TOC to nodes I, 2, 3, and 4 and lower cost direct bury fiber installation for aB local links. As can be seen, this reduces He cost of He communication infrastructure by approximately $4 Minion. A.3.2.4 Rural ITS System Rural ITS systems have minimal ITS-related historical examples. Rural areas have He following characteristics: The principle ITS-related infrastructure consists of the interstate highway system, state highways, and over roads. Interstates usually have controlled access win ~ or more miles between entrances and exits. Interstate highways and cross rural areas interconnect major metropolitan areas Rest areas are available, usually near population areas on interstates. Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO) can represent a major percent of traffic. Check stations are often located at international and state border crossings. With NAl;TA, expedited intemabonal border crossing, without loss of compliance with regulations, is an emerging requirement. Hazardous matenals transport is a major concern. Small towns exist to support rural commerce, often w~dely-dispersed farming, ranching, and related activities; tourism; or recreational ac~vitiese .\NCHRP`P~prx NCHRP3-51 · Phase2F~nalReport A343

· Fatal accidents attributed to high speed, longer distances, and fatigue are statistically higher per mile driven. Emergency detection and rapid response is a high priority requirement. Very few rural ITS-related systems have been implemented, although studies, operational demonstrations, and tests have been conducted. Emerging rural ITS system features and communications requirements include: · Rural TOC operations typically conducted by the nearest FMS TOC and are typically a state DOT operation. · FrMS freeways instrumented with loops in each lane, or equivalent technology, to measure the volume and occupancy of traffic and to detect incidents. Although no significant precedents have been established, loops are anticipated to be around entrances and exits and placed perhaps even 3-5 miles, depending on traffic and congestion. Motonst emergency alanns are anticipated to be communicated by cellular phone. CVO vehicles will be equipped with p~vate/commercial communication and automatic vehicle location (AVL) equipment to provide integrated interfaces to public interacting agencies. Coordination with over area AIMS systems, such as Freeway Management, over traffic control systems, etc., Hat require communications. · Communication interfaces to over ITS services such as ATIS, transit, etc. · An ATIS requirement that will be available to He public via ~ternet, PC with modems, public kiosks, etc. L.~h=~\ NC~3-51 · Ph~e2F~Re~n A3~6

A.3.2.4 ~ Example ITS Rura/ System A map of a rural area wig typical llS characteristics is depicted in Figure A3.2.4.~-1 and has the following charactenstics: The area consists of a 300-me interstate freeway with state borders on each end. The traffic on Me freeway consists of approximately 40% CVO traffic of which 60% is through traffic. WIM and border inspection stations are located near the state borders as shown on the map. Three cities are bypassed by He freeway and are located as shown on He map. The center city has been selected at He site of the rural TOC for the northern part of the state. The area has significant tourist traffic, especially during He summer. During the winter, ice, snow, and high winds can create travel problems at isolated locations. Automated weaker stations are to be placed strategically along He route so motorists can be alerted by kiosk terminals and VMS. A Freeway Management System is to be instaDed to provide modem ATMS and ATIS services to the area. Key capabilities are to collect weather data and provide it to motorists, detection incidents, and manage emergency management. The ITS rural FINS to be instaHed has the following charactenstics: Except in the cities, the freeway has en~ances/ex~ts at approximately 5-mile intervals. Four CCTV cameras are to be installed at all entrances/ex~ts and win be positioned to cover bow freeway directions and entrances/ex~ts. · Loops are to be placed in all lanes approximately 1/3-mule before and after each entrance/ex~t to measure speed, volume, and counts. The state ugly use the count data for statistical purposes instead of placing alternate counting devices. ~;\NCHRP~Phasez~p~\ NCHRP3-51 · Phase2F~nalReport A3-48

WIM devices win be employed in the communication network and will replace commercial dial-up lines. Five weaker stations wall be located as shown on He map. The state DOT's legal department has recently ruled that He DOT may initiate a program to trade "nght-of-way" for commun~cadon infrastructure access. The field equipment count is presented in Table A.3.2.4.~-1 and includes composite data loads as well as loads of various geographical areas. Referring back to Figure A3.2.4.~-l, we see He backbone topology overlaid. Two alternative designs will be developed: one win microwave and one web fiber backbone. The system design has He following charactenstics: · The backbone communication links win employ redundant circuits down bow sides of the freeway. SONET OC-3 drop/add circuits will be deployed with nodes at miles 30, 90,150, 210, 270. Nodes 3, 4, and 5 will be on one circuit and nodes ~ and 2 on He other circuit. The repeaterIess distance for standard fiber transmitters and receivers over SMFO is approximately 20 miles. Optional, higher-cost, transmitters wad greater transmit power and receivers win better sensitivity will be employed to extend the repeateriess distance to more than 60 miles. This win add an additional cost of approximately $5,300. Each win be equipped with dual DS-1 interfaces for each CCTV camera. The local links will employ drop and repeat SW;O fiber transceivers win a repeateriess distance capability of ~ ~ miles. Spread radio spectrum were considered for the local links, but were more expensive because the controllers are close to He fiber cable. CCTV cameras will emclov dedicated fibers from a node to each camera. Analog video is ~ ~ , employed from camera to node on fiber win a full duplex, EL\-232, 9600 bps camera control channel multiplexed on He same fiber. Redundancy will not be employed on these circuits. L;\NCHRP\Phase2.rprx NCHRP3-51 · Phase2F,rIalReport A3-49

The entire freeway system has right-of-way suitable for direct bury fiber installation. A 24- fiber SMFO cable will be employed. This cable win provide fiber for the backbone and the video and controller local links. Table A.3.2.4.~-2 presents an analysis of the fiber cable count requirements. The cost analysis for this design is presented in Table A.3.2.4.~-3. The communications infrastructure win cost approximately $32,104 per field node. It should be noted that $27,!12 of this is for fiber installation and is the dominant cost element. Rural EMS systems are excellent candidates for public/pr~vate partnerships trading nght-of-way for fiber infrastructure. This is due to Me low density of field devices along the freeway. It should be noted however, Mat Me cost of this example system would be much more if the fiber cable plant could not be employed for the local links with access at the required locations. ~:`NCHRP`Phasc2.rprx NCHRP3-51 · Phase2FinalReport A3-51
