(ms) of vehicle arrival). The system should detect the presence of vehicles for up to 64 detection zones per VIVTDS sensor. The detection zones shall be sensitive to the direction a vehicle travels and the direction to be detected by each detection zone shall be programmable by a client software user.
Detection Zone Placement The VIVTDS system should provide a flexible detection zone placement anywhere within one hundred (100) meters of the VIVTDS sensors. Preferred presence detector configurations shall be arbitrarily shaped polygons, including simple boxes, drawn across lanes of traffic or placed in line with lanes of traffic. A single VIVTDS sensor should replace one or more conventional detector loops.
Detection Zone Programming Programming detection zones shall be done by the graphical interface using the VIVTDS MJPEG image of the roadway. A laptop should be used to draw detection zones. Alternatively, a mouse, keyboard, and monitor may be connected directly to the processor to configure a site. When a vehicle occupies a detection zone, the detection zone on the live video will indicate the presence of a vehicle, thereby verifying proper operation of the system. Detection zones shall be sensitive to the direction of vehicle travel. The direction will be capable of being detected by each detection zone and will be programmable by the user. The vehicle detection zones will not activate if a vehicle is traveling in any direction other than the one specified for detection in the zone. Cross-street and wrong-way traffic shall not cause a false detection.
Design Field of View The VIVTDS system will be able to reliably detect vehicle presence in the design field of view. The design field of view shall be defined as the sensor view when the image sensor is mounted thirty (30) feet (9 meters) or higher above the roadway, when the sensor is in front of all stop lines, no more than seventy-five (75) feet from
ACHD TRAFFIC SINGAL MATERIALS SPECIFICATIONS Page - 17 the intersection center, and the beginning of the detection area is not greater than one hundred and fifty (150) feet from the image sensor. Within this design field of view, the VIVTDS processor should be capable of setting up a single detection zone for point detection (equivalent to the operation of a 6’ x 6’ inductive loop). A VIVTDS sensor, placed at the proper mounting height, is able to monitor up to and including five (5) traffic lanes per approach simultaneously. A single fisheye lens VIVTDS sensor, placed at the proper mounting height, should be able to monitor detection zones in an intersection of at a minimum of five (5) approaches.
Detection Performance The detection accuracy of the VIVTDS system shall be comparable to properly operating inductive loops. Detection accuracy should include the presence of any vehicle in the defined detection zone, regardless of the lane the vehicle is occupying. Occlusion produced by vehicles in the same or adjacent lanes shall not be considered a failure of the VIVTDS processor, but a limitation of the VIVTDS sensor placement. Detection shall be 98% accurate in good weather conditions with slight degradation possible under adverse weather or road conditions (i.e. rain, snow, fog). Detection will be expected for the entire design field of view on a lane-by-lane or by approach basis. Equipment failure, either sensor or VIVTDS processor, shall result in constant vehicle detection on affected detection zones. The VIVTDS system will be required to have the ability to place a constant call to a specific zone, if said zone loses visibility, while simultaneously making calls in the traditional manner in the remaining zones.
System Software Operation.
The VIVTDS must transmit and receive all information needed for sensor setup, to monitor vehicle detection, to view vehicle traffic flow, and to interpret stored data.
The remote communications link between the VIVTDS processor shall not interfere with the on-street detection of the VIVTDS processor. The user should be able to view the detection area in a horizon-to-horizon fisheye view or in a configurable four (4) pane flattened view on the same screen. Each view should be able to be customized by the user, with the ability to digitally pan-tilt-zoom.
Installation and Training The supplier of the VIVTDS system shall supervise the installation and testing of the sensors, processor, and other sensor components. And Provide training.
Warranty, Maintenance, and Support The video detection system must be warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of 3 years from the date of shipment from the manufacturer’s facility. During the warranty period, the system manufacturer will be required to repair with new or refurbished materials, or replace at no charge, any product containing a warranty defect, provided the product is returned FOB to the supplier’s factory or authorized repair site. Return product, product for repair, or product to be replaced under warranty by the supplier shall have prepaid transportation. This warranty does not apply to any products damaged by accident, improperly operated, abused, serviced by unauthorized personnel or unauthorized modification. Ongoing software support by the manufacturer includes updates of the VIVTDS processor’s engine and updates to the client software shall be provided free of charge for the life of the system.
