|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Linked Signal System LAN | RS002 | 20 | 23.0 - 54.0 (2005) | 0.4 - 0.8 (1995) | This element provides the connections to the linked signal system. |  |
| Signal Controller Upgrade for Signal Control | RS003 | 20 | 2.5 - 6.0 (2003) | 0.2 - 0.4 (2005) | Local controller upgrade to provide advanced signal control. | |
| Signal Controller and Cabinet |  | | 8.0 - 14.0 (2005) | 0.2 - 0.5 (2005) | Includes installation of traffic signal controller per intersection. | |
| Traffic Signal | | | 95.0 - 115.0 (2001) | 2.4 - 3.0 (1999) | Includes installation for one signal (four-leg intersection), conduit, controller, and detection device. Cost ranges from traffic signal with inductive loop detection (low) to non-intrusive detection (high). | |
| Signal Preemption Receiver | RS004 | 5 | 2.0 - 6.0 (2004) | 0.04 - 0.20 (2004) | Two per intersection. Complement of IDAS elements RS005 and TV004. | |
| Signal Controller Upgrade for Signal Preemption | RS005 | 10 | 2.0 - 4.0 (2005) | | Add-on to base capability (per intersection). Complement of IDAS elements RS004 and TV004. | |
| Roadside Signal Preemption/Priority | | 10 | 5.0 - 6.0 (2005) | 0.2 - 1.0 (2005) | Includes infrared detector, detector cable, phase selector, system software, and installation. Capital costs range is for two-directions. O&M cost estimate for operating, monitoring, and maintaining. Complement to transit (or emergency vehicle) on-board Signal Preemption/Priority Emitter. Capital costs can rise to $20K to $30K per intersection if traffic control equipment and/or systems need to be replaced. | |
| Ramp Meter | RS006 | 5 | 25.0 - 50.0 (2003) | 1.2 - 2.8 (2003) | Includes ramp meter assembly, signal displays, controller, cabinet, detection, and optimization. | |
| Software for Lane Control | RS011 | 20 | 25.0 - 50.0 (1995) | 2.5 - 5.0 (1995) | Software and hardware at site. Software is off-the-shelf technology and unit price does not reflect product development. | |
| Lane Control Gates | RS012 | 20 | 100.0 - 150.0 (1995) | 2.0 - 3.0 (1995) | Per location. | |
| Fixed Lane Signal | RS009 | 20 | 6.0 - 8.0 (1995) | 0.6 - 0.8 (1995) | Cost per signal. | |
| Automatic Anti-icing System - Short Span | | 12 | 25.0 (1998) | 2.0 (1998) | Typical automatic anti-icing system consists of a control system, chemical storage tank, distribution lines, pump, and nozzles. Pump and control hardware replaced every five years at cost of $3.5K. For a short span system ranging from 120 to 180 feet. O&M includes system maintenance, utilities, materials, and labor. | |
| Automatic Anti-icing System - Long Span | | 12 | 50.0 - 495.0 (1999) | 1.5 - 29.5 (1999) | Typical automatic anti-icing system consists of a control system, chemical storage tank, distribution lines, pump, and nozzles. Pump and control hardware replaced every five years at cost of $3.5K. For a long span system ranging from 320 feet to greater than 1/2 mile. O&M includes system maintenance, utilities, materials, and labor. The high O&M cost is for a much larger system; hence, the need for a greater amount of materials. | |
