2.6 Program Requirements

2.6.1 Programming

2.6.1.1 Programming of the controller unit shall be by the use of a keyboard and display on the front of the controller unit. Programming shall require only simple keystrokes aided by full menu displays. It shall be possible for the controller to interface with a laptop and using compatible software, upload, download, and save data to a database

2.6.1.2 Ease of programming through a well-organized menu structure and ease in interpreting the display shall be required for acceptance. The menu structure shall contain a main menu that contains options for all sections of the controller on one screen. Each option shall be selectable by a numeric entry. Each subsequent menu shall be a detailed breakdown of one of the previous menu options. Each menu option shall be a descriptive name to prompt the user to the desired section for programming.

All entries shall be displayed and entered in plain English. Toggle type entries shall be set by entering YES/NO or ON/OFF responses. Non-alphanumeric symbols and abbreviations used to display information shall be clear and unambiguous in their meaning. Numeric entries shall be in the base 10 (decimal) number system. Entries in other number bases, such as hexadecimal or binary, are not acceptable.

2.6.1.3 A user selectable 4 digit (minimum) code shall be available to secure access to timing and configuration of the unit. Display features shall be available without the need to access the unit. The controller units shall be supplied with the code preset to be all zeros (0000). Internal DIP switches may be used to establish codes.

2.6.1.4 Instructions for use of the access code shall not be provided on the face of the unit.

TO-4048

FULL-ACTUATED SOLID STATE CONTROLLER UNIT (TS 2)

7 - 52

2.6.1.6 With the intersection display active, a keyboard command shall enable the keyboard for the user to place a call to each phase individually.

2.6.2 Phase Operation

2.6.2.1 In NEMA operating mode, the controller unit shall provide as a minimum, 16 possible phases and 8 possible overlaps. All overlaps shall be programmable through the keyboard and shall function as specified by TS-2.

2.6.2.2 Each of the NEMA timing intervals shall be programmable for a minimum of 8 phases at a time from the same display screen in a spreadsheet format. The display may be rolled or paged down to display additional intervals or information.

2.6.2.3 The controller unit shall have a copying mode whereby the user, after having programmed all intervals of one phase may copy this information into all or selected remaining phases. Other versions of the copying process that meet the functional intent are acceptable.

2.6.2.4 In addition to the modes defined by TS-2, the following modes shall be available on a per phase basis:

1. Soft recall

2. Phase omit

2.6.2.5 The following configurations, as a minimum, shall be programmed within the controller unit and be user selectable:

(quad sequential).

4. 4 phase diamond

5. 3 phase diamond

6. Separate intersection (see Paragraph 2.8.1.3)

2.6.2.6 The controller shall have a configuration which allows user programmable rings (compatibility lines, reference points to assure there shall be no concurrent selection and timing of conflicting phases). A minimum of 4 rings will be available in this configuration.

TO-4048

FULL-ACTUATED SOLID STATE CONTROLLER UNIT (TS 2)

8 - 52

2.6.2.7 The controller shall have programmable conflicting phase settings where simultaneous operation of compatible phases is not allowed.

2.6.2.8 A dynamic maximum operation which increments the current maximum in programmable steps

(dynamic max step) in seconds to a maximum limit (dynamic max limit) in seconds shall be provided. The operation shall function as defined by NEMA Standard Publication NTCIP 1202:1996 (TS 3.5) Object Definitions for Actuated Traffic Signal Controller Units, or latest revision.

2.6.2.9 The TBC shall select and coordinate reversible left turn sequence operations (dual leading, leading and lagging, or lagging and leading left turns). It shall be possible to transfer operation from one sequence to another at a preprogrammed time. Transfer shall take place at T0 during coordination (see Paragraph 2.6.4.2).

2.6.3 Pedestrian Timing

2.6.3.1 Actuated pedestrian movements shall operate as follows:

1. When NO pedestrian calls are present, the normal phase timings shall be effective for service of the intersection.

2. When a pedestrian call is present, the call will be serviced by extended phase timings that account for pedestrian crossing times and override the normal phase timings. If the intersection is coordinated, it may drop out of coordination when servicing the pedestrian call if the pedestrian times exceed the vehicle splits. The controller shall return to coordination in the manner described in this specification after the call is serviced.

2.6.3.2 The controller shall rest in main-street green and Don't Walk when no actuated pedestrian calls are present.

2.6.4 Coordination

2.6.4.1 A minimum of 16 timing plans, each with a unique cycle length and split combination, shall be required as per TS-2. Each of the 16 timing plans shall have 3 unique offsets available. Cycle length selections are to be each changeable from 30 to 255 seconds in one second increments.

Split and offset selections adjustable from 0 to 254 in 1 second increments.

TO-4048

FULL-ACTUATED SOLID STATE CONTROLLER UNIT (TS 2)

9 - 52

2.6.4.2 The coordinator shall reference a system-wide reference cycle timer (system cycle timer). The term T0 shall refer to the point in the local cycle timer when the first coordinated phase (or leading coordinated phase if a pair of coordinated phases was selected by the user) is scheduled on for the first time. NOTE: This may not be the beginning of green in the case of early return. The offset shall be the amount the local cycle timer is behind the system cycle timer.

Example: If the offset is +10 seconds, T0 (the point at which the local cycle timer is at 0) will occur when the system cycle timer is at 10 seconds.

2.6.4.3 There shall be two modes of automatic coordination programming, fixed and floating force off modes. The following information shall be all that is required from the user to establish a pattern.

1. Basic NEMA controller timing.

2. Cycle length in seconds.

3. Phase sequence desired for the particular pattern.

4. Total seconds of the cycle that a phase is to be active including green, amber, and red clearance times when there is constant demand on all input detectors.

5. The coordinated phase or phases (from Paragraph 2.6.4.9).

6. The offset of the first coordinated phase serviced in the sequence from the reference clock's T0 in seconds.

2.6.4.4 Using the above information in fixed force-off mode, the coordinator must perform the following functions for each pattern.

1. Guarantee the coordinated phase(s) programmed time will be serviced in its entirety to achieve coordination between intersections (when not correcting). The programmed time of the first coordinated phase in the phase sequence shall start at T0.

2. Calculate each phase's force off point (the point at which a phase's Green must terminate in order to not violate the following phases' programmed times).

3. Calculate the beginning of each phase's permissive window (the point in the cycle when the coordinated phase is allowed to yield to each corresponding phase).

4. Calculate the end of each phase's vehicle permissive window (the point preceding a phase's force off point by its minimum time and the prior phase's clearance time). Any phase receiving a vehicle call before the end of vehicle permissive window will be serviced during the current cycle.

TO-4048

FULL-ACTUATED SOLID STATE CONTROLLER UNIT (TS 2)

10 - 52

5. Calculate the end of each phase's pedestrian permissive window (the point preceding a phase's force off point by pedestrian Walk and pedestrian clearance times and the prior phase's clearance time). Any pedestrian call received by a phase before the end of pedestrian permissive window will be serviced during the current cycle up to the beginning of the phase vehicle green.

6. Guarantee that each phase's programmed time be serviced in full if a call was received before the beginning of permissive window and the phase does not terminate due to Gap out.

2.6.4.5 Using the same information in floating force-off mode, the coordinator must operate in the same manner as fixed force-off mode except that if a non-coordinated phase is entered early, it will remain active only for the time programmed in the split time. Automatically setting the max timer in each split to accomplish this function is acceptable.

2.6.4.6 No percentage inputs are allowed. Once the information for phase service is entered via the keyboard, the controller unit shall test the plan to insure that the plan does not violate any minimum times based on the specified numbers and cycle length. If a faulty plan is detected, the controller unit shall show an error code indicating the problem. If the error is not corrected, the controller unit shall run in free operation mode whenever the erroneous plan is selected. If actuated pedestrian movements are programmed, the coordinator shall ignore errors detected due to the pedestrian Walk and clearance times violating the phase split time for any actuated pedestrian.

2.6.4.7 The coordinator shall be programmable to seek offsets by short-way (lengthening or shortening the cycle length up to 20%) and by dwell in the coordination phase awaiting the proper offset.

The user shall determine which method and may program the longest permissible dwell times.

2.6.4.8 The controller unit coordination program shall be designed to be programmed from the front panel to emulate the operation of a pre-timed controller by recall for applications where no vehicle detection is provided.

2.6.4.9 For each configuration a coordinated phase must be selected from Ring 1. A coordinated phase must also be selected from other rings if a compatible phase with the Ring 1 coordinated phase exists. The coordinated phase or phase pair shall be selectable from one of the individual phases or phase pairs shown in the following table:

Compatible phase pairs shall not be forced to begin simultaneously.

2.6.4.10 When establishing its offset from the reference point the coordinator shall reference only the leading edge of the sync pulse, regardless of its width.

2.6.4.11 The internal coordination and upload/download programs shall not interfere with normal intersection operation except when changing ring structure in the controller or active phases.

These operations (changing ring structure and active phases) shall require a confirmation and put the controller in a flash condition and a restart sequence. The implementation of revised timing parameters loaded into the timer shall be programmed to occur only at points in the controller coordination cycles which do not alter the controller phase sequence. The controller unit may temporarily drop out of synchronization during the upload/download, but must continue to operate.

2.7 Time-Based Coordinator (TBC)

2.7.1 The internal reference sync pulse, from which the local offset is calculated, shall re-sync at midnight, or the re-sync shall be user programmable with a default to midnight. A pulse shall be generated whenever the time-of-day clock shows a time that is an exact multiple of the current cycle length after this resynchronization. In case of a power failure, re-sync shall be calculated from the programmed re-sync time. The power failure recovery routine shall accommodate the case of a power failure at midnight.

2.8.5.2 The controller unit shall perform the sequences for 3 phase diamond operation defined in Figures 5a to 5b.

2.8.5.3 The normal sequence of operation shall be 4+8 → 2+6 → 1+5.

2.8.5.4 The point at which operation may be switched from 3 phase to 4 phase operation shall be through the transition phase sequence to 4 phase interval 2516 as indicated in Figure 5a.

2.8.5.5 The controller shall be programmable for simultaneous gap operation for phases 4 and 8 in

3 phase operation to allow a phase to extend out of a green rest state. When the phase(s) to be serviced next conflicts with both phases being serviced, both concurrent phases must reach a green rest state together before they terminate. Termination of the max timer or application of a force off shall override this feature. The phases shall not be allowed to advance to a green interval beyond the rest state which might override defeat the simultaneous gap operation.

2.10 Preemption (PE)

2.10.1 The internal preemptor supplied shall be easily programmable from the front panel for either railroad or emergency vehicle preemption sequences.

2.10.2 Phases shall be selectable such that a limited signal sequence may be operational during preempt (PE). It shall be possible to add phases to this special limited sequence, which is not in the intersection sequence. This shall be accomplished without adding external logic.

2.10.3 The following intervals shall be provided as a minimum. Terminology may vary but the meaning must be clear. Additional unspecified intervals that may lead to confusion shall be programmable to zero. If abbreviations are used on the display, they shall be defined on the front panel. While in preemption, the display will clearly identify the intervals being timed as preempt intervals. Yellow and red clearances from the phase timings may be utilized in place of the clearance intervals shown.

2.10.3.1 Preemption Timing Interval Definition

All intervals are sequential.

0. PE Delay - This time shall start immediately when the preempt command is received. It shall not affect the normal operation of the controller unit until the delay time out occurs.

This interval may be used for emergency vehicle (fire lane) preemption delay. If 0 time is set, the interval shall be omitted.

1. PE Minimum Duration - The preempt sequence shall not terminate until the preempt input signal is removed and the minimum duration time has expired.

2. PE Minimum Green - Any vehicle signal that is green at the time this interval becomes active shall not terminate unless it has been displayed for at least the time programmed in this interval. If 0 time is set the interval shall be omitted.

3. PE Minimum Walk - Preempt minimum walk time in seconds. A preempt initiated transition shall not cause the termination of a Walk prior to its display for this period.

4. PE Pedestrian Clearance - At the time of preempt call, Walk indications shall immediately change to pedestrian clearance interval. The pedestrian clearance interval shall not terminate unless it has been displayed for at least the time programmed in this interval. If 0 time is set, the interval shall be omitted.

5. PE Track Green - Signals programmed as track (or fire lane) signals shall remain green or be changed to green. All other signals shall be red. This interval shall be optionally programmable to zero during emergency vehicle PE.

TO-4048

FULL-ACTUATED SOLID STATE CONTROLLER UNIT (TS 2)

24 - 52

6. PE Dwell Green - Minimum dwell time in seconds. This parameter controls the minimum timing for the dwell movement. The phase(s) allowed during the dwell interval shall be selectable to include all phases that do not cross the track. The dwell interval shall not terminate prior to the completion of preempt duration time, preempt dwell time, and the call is no longer present. Each signal shall be keyboard programmable for red, red flash, yellow flash or green. As an alternative, a limited cycle shall be programmable for use with railroad preempts.

7. PE Exit Pedestrian Clear - Preemption exit pedestrian clear time in seconds. This parameter controls the pedestrian clear timing for a Walk signal transition to the exit phase(s).

8. PE Exit Yellow - This interval shall provide a solid yellow clearance for indications that were green or flashing yellow. Red and flashing red displays shall display solid red.

9. PE Exit Red Clearance - This interval shall be an all red clearance in preparation for return to the normal cycle. Return phases shall be programmable from the keyboard.

10. PE Max Call - This interval is the amount of time that a preempt call may remain active and be considered valid. When the preempt call has been active for this amount of time, the controller shall return to normal operation. The preempt call shall be considered invalid until the call is no longer active.

2.10.4 The phases to be serviced following the preempt sequence shall be front panel keyboard programmable.

2.10.5 Preempt sequences shall be selectable using external inputs. Preempt priority shall be assigned with number 1 being the highest. If a higher priority preempt input is received during a preempt sequence, the controller unit shall immediately transition to the new sequence subject to the constraints of PE minimum green and PE minimum walk. The transition shall take place in a safe manner from any point in the sequence meeting all Texas MUTCD requirements.

Provisions shall be made to clear two conflicting track phases from a single preempt input.

This may be provided by two track clearance phases for a single preempt or by combining two preempts.

2.10.6 Preempt 1 shall be reserved for a priority railroad preempt. If more than two preempts are provided it shall be possible to delete the priority override for all but the railroad preempt. If a non-priority preempt is activated during another preempt cycle, the one in progress shall continue through its entire cycle. If the second preempt input is still active when the first one is completed, the controller unit shall immediately go to all red flash or initiate the non-priority preempt. When all preempt inputs are removed, the controller unit shall proceed through the normal sequence to return red clearance (interval 9).

2.10.7 Once the controller unit has entered the first timed interval following preempt delay

(interval 1), the sequence shall continue to the end even if the preempt call is dropped. If the call returns, the minimum preempt duration (interval 1) the controller unit should reinitiate track green and complete the preempt sequence.

2.10.8 The controller unit shall be programmable to be in flash or in limited sequence during interval 6. If flash is specified, the phases shall flash yellow or red as programmed from the front panel. Flash shall be implemented by simultaneously flashing the appropriate load switch driver outputs. If limited sequence is selected, all phases shall be programmable even if not normally used in the intersection sequence.

2.10.9 In the event of a power interrupt as defined by TS-2, if the preempt command is present when power is restored, the controller unit shall power up in cabinet flash operation and remain there until the PE command is removed.

2.10.10 Overlap phases shall begin and terminate with the parent phases as described in TS-2. If the PE call occurs during yellow or red displays between parent phases, the overlap phase shall display a minimum of 3 seconds of yellow and a minimum of 1 second of red clearance.

2.10.11 Don't Walk shall be displayed throughout the preempt sequence unless a limited cycle is run.

During a limited cycle (interval 6) the pedestrian heads may be programmed to be dark.

2.10.12 Preempt routines shall have priority over all controller functions.

2.10.13 The controller shall be programmable to allow multiple track clearance phases either within a single preemption sequence or by mapping multiple preempts together in all modes of operation including 3 phase and 4 phase diamond modes.

2.11 Closed Loop Operation and Monitoring Software (CLS)

2.11.1 The controller software shall either be capable of implementing NTCIP or be downward compatible with CLS masters supplied by the same manufacturer since January 1992 and provide all necessary components to upgrade to NTCIP, as specified by the plans. Short haul FSK modems, necessary to operate the controller as a closed loop system secondary, shall be provided internal to the timer. All necessary cables and communication ports needed for operation in a closed loop system cabinet shall be provided. The modems shall meet TS-2 environmental requirements for traffic signal equipment.

2.11.2 Window-based CLS software shall be provided (with a minimum of 5 licensed users per copy) according to the solicitation, that will allow the monitoring, setup, and programming of all controller unit timing entries, functions, and features. These functions and features shall include but not be limited to the following:

1. Monitoring signal indications, detectors, alarms, and time base functions.

2. Controller database error checking.

3. Coordination parameters.

4. Remote resetting of coordination errors.

5. Toggle special function outputs from the controller.

6. Receive reports and alarms generated from the controller.

7. Setting up the dial-up modem for the traffic signal controller needed to accomplish the remote operation through the controller or the PC software. The setup strings for Hayes compatible modems (including Hayes, US Robotics, and Computer Peripherals modems as a minimum) shall be provided.
