The Jack London Conference Room does not operate on a stand alone air conditioning system so noise is not a problem. It is not envisioned that the Jack London Conference Room will require any of these acoustical enhancements. Environmental – This includes the consideration of both ventilation and fire protection requirements. Ventilation is an essential operating concern in a TMC environment for the protection of equipment and for providing a comfortable working environment for traffic management staff. Air conditioning must be provided to the area that houses computers and equipment. Typically, all building air conditioning systems do not operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and some communication equipment may be susceptible to damage if it becomes too hot. For this reason, it is usually recommended to have a smaller dedicated HVAC system or segregate the larger building system to accommodate special needs of the TMC. The TMC temperature and humidity controls should also be connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system. To ensure that the working environment for traffic management staff is optimal, fresh air intake is preferred to recycled air. A fire protection system is an important operating concern especially in areas where equipment and computers are located. Depending on the sensitivity of equipment, a sprinkler system could be used as a fire protection system. Although some equipment may need to be replaced should the sprinkler system be activated, it is more important to suppress the fire and curtail further damage. The proposed equipment room and control room for the City of Oakland TMC meet these environmental requirements. Workspace Layout – Based on the requirements provided at the City workshop, the TMC should provide space for at least two workstations and be large enough to house all of the necessary computers and video display equipment. Supplemental space should also be provided for the supervisor and visitors. The following equipment will reside in the TMC control room: • Two workstation computers (with monitors and keyboards) connected to the central signal system, each with full ATMS functionality • Two PTZ control keypads for CCTV system • A video wall display with one large screen and possibly four smaller video monitors • One conference table with chairs • One small table or desk to house an area for signal controller testing and training • Bookcases and filing cabinets as desired by the City The Jack London Conference Room, which is approximately 26’ by 14’, should provide adequate space for this workspace layout. In addition, consideration should be given to accessibility for persons with disabilities. To provide for accessibility clearance, doorways should be a minimum of 36 inches wide by 6 feet 8 inches high. Doors should be hinged inward and solid to provide security and resistance to fire.

7.1.3 Communications Infrastructure Telephone service should be supplied throughout the TMC. Telephone jacks should be provided in both the control room and the equipment room. One data port and one duplex electrical outlet (two plugs) should be provided for every networked device in the TMC. Data ports should include 10/100 Mbps compatible cabling and RJ-45 jacks. These infrastructure requirements should be reviewed during the detailed TMC design to ensure that there are enough outlets and data ports available in the proposed TMC room. If more outlets or data ports are needed, they can be added as part of the TMC build out. 7.1.4 Security Security measures should be provided for the TMC to avoid unauthorized access to equipment and data. The entrance to the TMC should be equipped with a door lock with self-locking features. The TMC and its associated equipment room should not be shared with other building functions, if possible. The City of Oakland’s proposed TMC equipment room will share space with other City equipment. However, since it is the primary function of this room to store City equipment, it is locked at all times and only authorized personnel are allowed access to the room. Nevertheless, the City should establish a policy that would prohibit anybody from touching the TMC equipment without a representative of the Transportation Services Division being present. The proposed TMC control room will initially be a joint-use TMC and meeting room. While this is not an ideal arrangement, it is a City requirement until the City finds suitable meeting space elsewhere. The City will need ensure that a City employee is present at all times when unauthorized persons are using the meeting room adjacent to the TMC. 7.2 TMC REQUIREMENTS This section builds on the operating concepts discussed in the previous section to define the basic requirements for the City of Oakland TMC. More detailed requirements will need to be developed during the TMC design phase. The City’s current traffic management office area is generally inadequate to provide an efficient and comfortable work area for managing and monitoring the City’s traffic signal system. The City’s new TMC should be large enough to house the following: • Console area that will accommodate two or three persons (with room to grow); • Small conference table with chairs; • Small desk or table for controller testing area; • Equipment racks (up to four); • Video wall display and monitors; • System control equipment; and • Communications equipment.
