  1. SNUG 2013Napier7th November Auckland JTOC Presented by Michael Daley

  2. JTOC – Joint Transport Operations Centre • JTOC general update

  3. SCATS in Auckland • SCATS is finally on the move • 5 year’s in the making • Merger - Transit NZ and LTSA • Mergers – Auckland Councils • Merger – RTA and Maritime Safety into RMS and Transport for NSW • Licenses needed re-doing for both AT and NZTA • SCATS 6.6.2 until August 2013  6.7.2 • SCATS 6.7.2 migration to 6.9.1 (started this week!)

  4. The Numbers • We have 9 Regions with provision for 11 Regions in our license • Migrating of sites between Regions is underway to “load balance” the regions from an SI/SA perspective • Intersections = 911 • 890 SCATS sites (incl 122 Ramp signal sites) • 21 Isolated sites

  5. Upgrading the Auckland System • This has been a challenge in many different ways! • Progressively managed upgrades • Communications • Server Environment • SCATS software • From the 2009-2010 we have progressively migrated ALL leased line communication circuits primarily to ADSL • Cheaper operating costs • Not tied to one location for SCATS servers • The last circuit was changed over in Sept 2013

  6. Communications • No more leased line circuits • Many comms solutions • ADSL – 608 sites • VDSL – 21 sites + CCTV • Private copper – 81 sites (mostly Auckland CBD) • Fibre – 152 sites • WiMax Wireless – 14 sites • 3G – 1 site • Multi connected – 12 sites

  7. SCATS Environment • Servers migrated from physical operating Windows Server 2003 • Now ALL servers are operating in a Virtual Machine environment running Windows Server 2008 R2 • SCATS 6.6.2 ran well under this setup • Next steps after migrating to 6.9.1 is to prepare and test the failover/fail back systems

  8. SCATS Upgrade • Until August 2013 running version 6.6.2 • Major data cleanup required for preparation of migrating to 6.9.1 • Variation routines and action lists mostly • Intermediate jump to 6.7.2 (bridging version) completed in Sept 2013 • New licenses and dongles required for 6.9.1 • Many headaches around licensing and naming conventions • Most SCATS Regions will change name to marry up with Signal maintenance area’s • Tricky issues around connecting physical Network dongles to Virtual servers • SCATS 6.9.1 requires more Central Manager data processing • Upgraded SCATS CM Access database to SQL server express

  9. SCATS Upgrade • SCATS Central Manager upgraded to 6.9.1 on Monday this week • RED network dongles cannot be updated by user • New dongles are required if you purchase more site licenses • Regions will be upgraded over the next two weeks • Licensing issues – Dual licensing now in use • Server license and Client license required for 3rd party ITS connected applications • Bus priority broken for two days until RMS figured out how to license external 3rd party ITS applications

  10. SCATS Applications • In addition to the core applications: • SCATS History Reader (ALL sites, not just those in IDM’s) • SCATS Alarm Analyser • SCATS Communication Analyser • SCATS Traffic Reporter • SCATS Alert • SCATS Action Runner (new for SCATS 6.9 onwards) • If anyone is interested I can show these in use.

  11. CCTV • Two systems in operation currently • GVD • DvTel • 102 camera’s on GVD • 353 camera’s on DvTel • 455 camera’s available for Traffic monitoring

  12. JTOC Technical Services Team • Managed by Matthew Hoyle • Primary functions • Traffic signal and ramp signal operations • Route Optimisation – 4 year programme to optimise Arterial road signals • Year 1 – 75 sites • Year 2 – 150 sites • Year 3 – 100 sites incl Auckland CBD • Design reviews – 40-50 per year • Most customer initiated complaints/queries – 20-25 per week • Data requests or signal maintenance issues – 30-35 per week • VIP greenwave motorcades – 5-6 per year • Traffic Signal Software development – 100 per year

  13. Assets and Contracts Team • Managed by James Wickham • Responsible for managing the Signals and CCTV/Electronic signs contracts (non-motorway) • 4 Traffic Signal contract area’s • Recent Asset Renewals program based on asset life • Funding shortfall

  14. Loops – estimated total for Auckland exceeds 10000 (8000 for Traffic signals and 2000 for ramp Signals) • Recent Fault Analysis

  15. Other JTOC and AT/NZTA Teams • JTOC Motorway management operators (Peter Bathgate) • NZTA National Travel information advisors (Toni Skiffington) • AT Busways Operations • IS Services at JTOC (John Burns) • Management and Admin • AT Traffic Services (Ken Lee-Jones) • Auckland Motorways Alliance

  16. Challenges • Construction of the Western Ring Route for SH16 (Northwestern Motorway) • Waterview Tunnel • Waterview interchange construction • Raising and widening of SH 16 – Waterview to Pataki interchange • Widening of SH16 – Western Springs to Waterview • Widening of SH16 – TeAtatu to Royal Rd • Congestion and managing effects of traffic on and off the motorway onto ocal arterials
