Mr. Steve Fitzsimons Page 7 November 5, 1996 engineers may be monitoring system operation, uploading or downloading signal settings, etc. at the same time other jurisdictions are also monitoring Caltrans signals in the TSM system and uploading detector and controller information as needed. Of course, the other jurisdictions will not be able to download controller settings or otherwise modify the Caltrans central monitor data or functions. This function can be done with a communications server, or with multiple serial port connections on the Caltrans central monitor. If TIS can be developed so that it communicates with both CT Net and Econolite, it may be possible for the City of San Leandro and City of Hayward Econolite central system computer monitors to run Econolite and CT Net sessions simultaneously and directly communicate with CT Net rather than require a separate CT Net computer monitor in each of these cities. This contract assumes that CT Net, Econolite and Traconex systems can communicate with each other through TIS (for TIS functions only) - and that TIS is resident and a part of each of these systems and can pass data between CT Net and Econolite and Traconex systems directly through TIS. TJKM is dependent upon the signal system designers to provide system architecture that is functional with a multi jurisdictional TIS. Measures of Effectiveness: TIS will include a summary reporting function that displays level of service information for each intersection and for the route being monitored. The engineer can do this through invoking macros which take whatever data is requested from Traffic Database (including the last 15 minutes of data, if desired), input that data into Synchro and run the most appropriate model instantaneously for output such as v/c, average route speeds, average delay at an intersection and percentage stops by approach. C. Capability of TJKM to Provide and Develop Software TJKIvI can complete TIS with all the functions defined above within a basic budget providing Econolite and Traconex vendors cooperate with TJKM engineers by providing appropriate data and information on the format and programming of their systems. The most significant question is with Econolite, because the un-enhanced TIS already works with Traconet and Traconex controllers; however, the newest software version for Traconet and Traconex controllers does not currently work with TIS. Regardless, of the two, Econolite is the largest question of whether TIS can be made to work with Zone Master IV or the new Econolite TMS being developed for application in San Leandro. This section examines, module by module, what TJKM can guarantee delivery on and what TJKNI can also deliver assuming Econolite and Traconex cooperate with TJKM engineers during development of the enhanced TIS. Programs TJKM Can Complete Independently: TJKM can develop portions of TIS enhancements independently of signal manufacturers and the developers of CT Net, because these programs are internal to TIS and do not directly interface with signal system software. These include: Enhancement of COUNTS to Traffic Database standard reports: TJKM can develop a standardize report of all required traffic data including volumes, occupancy, events and signal settings with no direct need to interface with signal systems (it is the translation of the signal system output to this standard reporting format that depends upon cooperation with other vendors).
