PROJECT CHALLENGES

Pre-Existing Layer 2 Only

Interim Layer 2 split – 2 way

• Inadequate Network Design producing Broadcast Storms / Data Storms

PROJECT CHALLENGES • Inadequate Network Design producing Broadcast Storms / Data Storms

PROJECT CHALLENGES • Inadequate Network Design producing Broadcast Storms / Data Storms

• VLAN & IP addresses improved

PROJECT CHALLENGES • Cooperation between KDOT staff/Traffic Network and Kane I.T. staff/Kane

network

• ATMS installed on virtual servers within Kane’s I.T. network, separate from Traffic Network. Network Port Routing through firewall.

• Recommended Hardware specs (for ATMS) vs Declining Performance based merit for upgraded hardware.

• Learning (Surviving) the language

barrier associated with networking and routing.

• Lack direct VPN to traffic network (although a plus for security). Remote access provided exclusively through Remote Desktop Connections to ATMS servers.

WHERE WE GO FROM HERE?

• Expanding the Network, Adding redundant communication links, sharing system data with more agencies.

• Continue to leverage / learn TransSuite ATMS.

• Implement first Kane County Adaptive Signal Control System

• (Potential) future TSP / BRT functionality

• Higher functioning PTZ camera and Detection product features

• Some Closing Thoughts…..
