SECTION 7 Transportation Management Center The City of Oakland is planning to deploy a TMC for a traffic engineering interface to the City’s traffic signal system, CCTV cameras, DMS devices, SMART Corridor ATMS server, related peripherals, and other future equipment via its existing TWP signal interconnect and proposed fiber optic and wireless communication systems. The Transportation Services Division expects to use the Jack London Conference Room on the 4 th floor of 250 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza. It is envisioned that the new TMC will enable effective and proactive management of the Oakland transportation system. This document describes the basic requirements and operating concepts for a typical TMC and addresses the operational characteristics of the City of Oakland TMC workspace. Based on the City’s long-range needs and operational strategy, a conceptual TMC floor plan is also provided. The conceptual floor plan layout provides a preliminary plan for the building remodeling/reuse design. It does not contain building construction details (heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, electrical, wall surface materials, etc.), but does include furniture and equipment needs, suggested lighting types and levels, and requirements for external system interfaces. The construction details will need to be developed as part of a detailed TMC design project. 7.1 OPERATING CONCEPTS The TMC operating concepts define how a TMC should operate in accordance to its operational needs and requirements. Other components which include the physical environment, communications infrastructure, and security system are important operating components which should also be considered in designing a TMC. These considerations will be factored into the TMC design to provide the optimum system physical configuration and an optimum working environment while fully supporting the complex and sophisticated technology and equipment. An understanding of the operating concepts will allow for the realization of the City’s goal with a truly practical solution. 7.1.1 Operational Needs and Requirements The Oakland TMC should be designed in such a manner that it satisfies the immediate operational needs and requirements of the City and allows for future expansion to include the City’s needs relative to future deployment strategies. The key functions of the Oakland TMC are to provide traffic management staff with the capability to interface with the traffic signal system, monitor traffic information, and be able to manage traffic incidents in real time from the TMC. The traffic monitoring task will be performed using video monitors which will be installed in the TMC. The TMC will also provide the capability to disseminate and share traffic information with other nearby agencies and the public. The operator console must be designed to accommodate the duties and coordination activities performed by the traffic management staff. The City also intends to deploy CCTV cameras for traffic City of Oakland ITS Strategic Plan 84 September, 2003
surveillance purposes in the near future at critical locations, which accounts for the addition of future video equipment in the TMC. 7.1.2 Physical Environment The TMC’s physical environment consists of design elements presented below that allow the system, both human and machine components, to function efficiently and effectively. These elements include: • lighting and power – primary and supplementary lighting; • acoustic – background noise and interior acoustical properties; • environmental – heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning; • workspace layout – dimensions, access, and fixtures. Some features of the physical environment are mandated by public law (e.g., access for the disabled). Other features are based on established design practice (e.g., lighting standards for designated work areas). The intent of this section is to provide ideal characteristics for a TMC environment. The specific requirements for the proposed TMC should be determined during the TMC design phase. Lighting and Power – Lighting in the TMC workspace can include both natural and artificial light. Artificial light is provided to illuminate the TMC. In general, the overall lighting should be kept low to provide optimum viewing of the video and computer monitors. Exterior natural light sources from corridors, exterior windows and adjacent rooms should be avoided to minimize their impact on TMC operations. Interior windows, if provided, should be treated for glare. The ambient light should be indirect with recessed incandescent ceiling lighting or task lights provided at the operator console. The selection of the type of fixture and its corresponding location should be such that there is no glare or interference with other display facilities. All interior finishes should be in medium-to-dark colors. Separate lighting controls should be provided for the TMC. Dimmable or phased controls are desired. An associated element of lighting is the overall electrical service for the TMC. Separate circuits should be provided for lighting (approximately two) so that more control of lighting levels can be achieved, if desired. Separate circuits should also be provided for video monitors (one or two circuits) and equipment racks (one or two circuits per rack). If video monitors are on the same circuits as general lighting, there is a risk that the monitors can be affected as lights are turned on or off. These electrical requirements should be reviewed during the detailed TMC design as the Jack London Conference Room may need additional electrical circuits to accommodate the proposed design. If more circuits are needed, they can be added as part of the TMC build out. Acoustics – A stand-alone air conditioning system, which frequently generates significant operating noise, is generally not recommended for TMC application. Consideration should be given to incorporate as much acoustic treatment into the TMC as possible to aid in absorbing incidental noise. High quality ceiling treatments and antistatic computer room carpet tile are recommended. City of Oakland ITS Strategic Plan 85 September, 2003
