Future remote communications with the VPS shall be possible with the addition of external communication devices(modem, codec,etc.)using the RS-232 and video output ports on the VPS. — The VPS shall be provided with front panel switches and LED indicators that allow an operator to manually select and verify the VPS operating mode,monitor camera Sync and Data operation,and monitor a minimum of 16 outputs and 8 inputs of the VPS wi hon the use of an external device such as a personal computer. — The CNPU shall be capable of detecting vehicles for a minimum of eight(8)lanes plus two(2)shoulders on a per camera basis. The C/VPU shall also be able to simultaneously detect both approaching and departing vehicles for each camera field of view. — The C/VPU operational software shall be stored internally in Flash Memory and be capable of being updated without the removal and replacement of memory devices. — The CNPU shall be provided with count,presence,directional presence,speed,stopped vehicles,and queue types of detection zones. An adjustable cycle timer shall be available for dealing with stopped vehicles. The Windows software shall be able to display the traffic parameters on the screen of an SVGA monitor on a per vehicle basis for each detection station by lane. It shall also be possible to view and sort the stored data for selected time intervals. — A Clock/Calendar shall be resident in the CNPU software for turning on/off certain parameters used to enhance detection performance,and shall include Daylight Savings compensation. — The Contractor shall provide a.125 inch thick aluminum Camera Interface Panel mounted to the wall of the traffic controller cabinet for protecting the CNPU video,data,and power. The panel shall contain as a minimum;one(1)Edco CX06 coax protector per camera(if video is output on coaxial cable),an Edco ACP- 340 for protecting the CNPU power,a 10 amp circuit breaker,and a terminal strip with a minimum of six(6) 8-32 binder head screws for input/output power. — The VPS shall be ISO9002 registered prior to bid opening. The VPS shall also be a UL recognized component that complies with the requirements of EN6095D. — The VPS at each intersection shall be able to be networked using a 2-TWP interconnect back to the Master Cabinet for future communication to the Traffic Management Center.
