Tyler Texas:
29 intersections on a loop that carries 40,000 vehicles daily
Challenge:
Loop corridor joining 3 ACS-Lite systems (maximum capacity is 16 intersections for a single system) and managing traffic flow to minimize congestion. Loop is unique as there is no access-controlled freeway within City limit, thus increasing the vehicle volume.
First Attempt:
Side-fire Radar unites for mid-block detection
Second Attempt:
Two VIDS (mounted as high as possible) to monitor arterial approach
Winning Solution: Vantage Vector
Why?
- One camera rather than two (lower cost)
- Stopline phase extension calls
- Setback system detection (for offset & split changes)
- 600 ft. setback to monitor arterial approach to catch free-flowing traffic
- Less cluttered mast arm – unit mounts flush
- Bicycle detection
“Vantage Vector works great for my signal control system needs. I’ve tried several other detection solutions, but have determined Vantage Vector will be used at all locations!”
– Peter Eng, PE, City of Tyler Traffic Engineer
Vantage camera systems also work with SCATS, SCOOT, and other Adaptive systems.
