and horizontal cable distribution should emphasize carefully planned cable management<br />

to allow easy installation and identification <strong>of</strong> cables. All new cables provided in the<br />

TMC should be specified as plenum rated. This type <strong>of</strong> cable coating resists burning<br />

and smoke and does not generate harmful fumes.<br />

If communication cables enter from the ceiling, “cable ladders” should be used to<br />

support the cables and aid in cable management.<br />

Signal System Server – The equipment room also houses the signal system server.<br />

The server would be mounted in one <strong>of</strong> the equipment racks. Communication cables will<br />

be connected from the server to the associated communications equipment (modems) in<br />

the equipment rack and to the integrated workstations in the TMC room. An additional<br />

rack will be required for signal system communications equipment as more intersections<br />

are brought on line with future projects.<br />

SMART Corridor Server – The equipment room also houses the SMART Corridors<br />

server. The server would be mounted in one <strong>of</strong> the equipment racks. Communication<br />

cables will be connected from this server to the associated communications equipment<br />

in the equipment rack and to the integrated workstations in the TMC room.<br />

CCTV System – The equipment room also houses the CCTV CPU and video matrix<br />

switch which will be located in the equipment rack. Communication cables will be<br />

connected from the CCTV system to the associated communications equipment (video<br />

optical receivers) in the equipment rack and to the video displays and PTZ control<br />

keypads in the TMC room. An additional rack may be required for CCTV<br />

communications equipment as more cameras are brought on line with future projects.<br />

DMS/TBS Server – The equipment room also houses the DMS/TBS server, which<br />

would be mounted in one <strong>of</strong> the equipment racks. Communication cables will be<br />

connected from this server to the associated CDPD modems in the equipment rack and<br />

to the integrated workstations in the TMC room.<br />

Monitor and Keyboard – Finally, the equipment room will need a 15” computer monitor<br />

and keyboard to perform diagnostics on each <strong>of</strong> the above mentioned servers. This<br />

monitor could be connected to each <strong>of</strong> the servers through a monitor switch to eliminate<br />

the need for multiple monitors. The monitor, keyboard and monitor switch would be<br />

mounted in the equipment rack.<br />

7.4 CONCEPTUAL TMC FLOOR PLAN<br />

A conceptual floor plan has been developed for the <strong>Oakland</strong> TMC. The proposed<br />

layouts for the control room and equipment room are provided in Figure 7.1 and Figure<br />

7.2, respectively. These layouts incorporate the minimal required elements for the TMC.<br />

In this floor plan, the equipment room and control room are nearby each other on the<br />

same floor. As shown in the drawings, the equipment room has enough space to house<br />

at least three additional equipment racks and the control room is adequate to house the<br />

necessary control equipment and TMC furniture.<br />

The space for the control room layout is designed to accommodate two operators. Two<br />

“L” shaped console systems are designed. Each console shall be modular and no more<br />
