25. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
Establish New Project
26. JUSTIFICATION
This project will upgrade 6 traffic signal intersections with new video detection along B-10, SR186 & SR 287. This project aims to replace the outdated detection cameras and traffic detection loops that are currently in place. The existing system relies on the reduction of inductance within the traffic loop caused by the metal body of passing cars, resulting in a change in resonant frequency. This change is then detected by a signal conditioning system to control the status of the traffic lights. However, the current loops have a failure rate of 20pct per year, leading to driver frustration. To overcome these challenges, we propose the implementation of the advanced GridSmart video and Wavetronix radar detection system, which will replace the outdated and maintenance intensive loop systems. The budget will support the purchase of the detection equipment. ADOT crews will perform the installation and ICAP is included in the costs. Video Detection 1 camera System � GridSmart $96K Video Detection 2 camera System � GridSmart $29K Wavetronix System $47K ICAP $14K
