📋 Tender Overview
Scope : Traffic Signal Vehicle Detection Conversion
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/JUSTIFICATION : This project provides for the conversion of two signalized intersections per year to a new vehicle detection system and stop bar video cameras. Traffic signals require vehicle detection to minimize delay. Some older installations did not have vehicle detection or have faulty loop detectors (loops cut into the roadway that measure inductance to detect if a car is waiting or not). Microwave detection is an easy, safe alternative that we have been using throughout the City at new installations. FY 21 and FY 22 locations targeted include Intersections along Asbury Road including Sam's South entrance, JFK, Carter, Chaney and St. Ambrose. Locations that currently are in need of maintenance and potential candidates include Locust at 151, Locust at Locust Connector, Hwy 151 at Jones, Locust at Charter, Elm at 16th, University at Pennsylvania. The newest model of equipment allows this technology to be installed at more existing locations. This technology and equipment upgrade offers some of the best performance enhancements to a signal for the dollar spent.
