SMART TRAFFIC MONITORING SYSTEM

Description. This work shall consist of furnishing, installing, maintaining, relocating, removing, and programming various components of an automated Smart Traffic Monitoring (STM) System. This work shall be completed according to Article 701 of the Standard Specifications, as detailed in the plans described herein, and as directed by the Engineer.

Schedule: The STM System shall be in operation 24 hours a day and seven days per week when traffic is reduced to one lane in the direction for longer than one consecutive day. The system or any components shall be relocated as needed for each new traffic control stage. One adjustment of component locations in each direction after the initial set-up of the system shall be included in the cost of the applicable components.

Function: The typical STM System components shall include Smart Traffic Monitoring Devices (STMD), Real-Time Traffic Control (RTTC) signing, portable changeable message signs (PCMSs), and control software for various communication functions.

The STM System shall collect real-time vehicle data at various locations prior to and within the work zone and, depending upon traffic conditions, shall activate various, specific preapproved messages, developed through coordination with the Engineer, on PCMSs and activate appropriate RTTC signs.

Section (06-3HB)BR

The STM system shall be capable of providing dynamic lane merging by use of pre-programmed conditions to allow the system to determine when early merging should be required (generally low volumes and high speeds), and when late merging should be required (generally high volumes and low speeds). STM system components shall have the capacity and the accuracy to determine to implement the specific messages for each type of merging and to prevent frequent and unnecessary changes in merge type. Dynamic lane merging will require PCM’s, RTTC signing, or a combination of both throughout the expected queue area, as well as advance warning locations as described below.

The STM system shall activate RTTC signing flashers in advance of the congested area to warn traffic whenever the average traffic speed falls below 30 mph. Flashers shall turn off when the average speed returns to 40 mph or more. These speed thresholds shall be capable of being changed based on field conditions and sensor locations with approval of the Engineer.

The STM System shall notify road users of the delay, within 20% accuracy and the distance, within 0.5-mile accuracy, to stopped or significantly slowed traffic ahead (speeds less than 30 mph) by displaying messages on PCMSs located on mainline. The location of PCMS’s shall be intended to give traffic enough advance warning to choose alternate routes when appropriate and will be determined by the Engineer. PCMS’s may be located in advance of entrance ramps within the project limits to allow users to make the choice to enter the highway based on current traffic conditions. The actual message text on each PCMS displaying messages will be determined by the Engineer. STM PCMSs shall display the flashing caution mode when not in use by the system or shall be treated as non-operating equipment in accordance with Article 701.11.

The STM System shall immediately inform delay time and slow or stopped traffic to the Resident Engineer and emergency services in addition to the District 3 Operations Center, the District 4 Traffic Operations Center and the Illinois State Police (ISP) Dispatch Center. Notifications shall identify which RTTC signs and PCMS’s are active and what message is being displayed, if applicable.

Smart Traffic Monitoring Devices (STMDs): The Contractor shall provide devices that are MUTCD compliant, meeting NCHRP 350 or MASH, Category 2, crashworthy standards and shall be consistent with work zone channelizing devices used throughout the work zone. The STMDs shall have internal power sources, shall communicate wirelessly in real-time, and shall provide continuous, uninterrupted, data collection during normal operations or during power or communication interruptions. The STMDs shall communicate in real-time with multiple other STMDs, RTTC signs, and PCMSs in the system. Traffic sensors shall not be affected by environmental conditions. The STMDs shall collect data for each lane separately, in real-time, provide 95 percent accuracy on all vehicle detection, have Global Positioning System (GPS) functionality, transfer data to web-based communications for monitoring, and communicate with the RTTC signs and PCMSs 24 hours a day seven days a week. The web-based interface shall provide vehicle speed, volume, and queue information at each device location and maintain data history for a minimum of 12 months beyond contract completion. The system shall provide vehicle detection in advance of the maximum projected vehicle queue and report real-time data throughout the duration of the project. The number and proper locations of STMDs needed to provide dynamic, travel time messages and queue detection from the STM System shall be recommended by the manufacturer and approved by the Engineer. Data shall include the date, time, and average vehicle speed through the work zone.

Section (06-3HB)BR

Real-Time Traffic Control Signing (RTTC): RTTC signing shall consist of sets of two warning signs with a sign legend as shown in the plans.
