Traffic Light Priority System

TLP systems allow the user to configure particular junction approaches, tracking vehicles approaching the junctions. This tracking module produces events that can be delivered to other traffic control systems or straight to equipped junction boxes. This produces the request to turn the traffic light green for that vehicle.

Features

  • Real time information
  • Real-time control systems
  • Contract management
  • Historic and current vehicle route reporting
  • Traffic Light Priority for Vehicles
  • TLP for Multi Junctions
  • Optional to request priority manually

Benefits

  • Publishing and importing datasets
  • Real time operation to control traffic lights for urban buses
  • Connection server to server for UTC or UTMC
  • Multi Junctions Flexibility
  • Priority is given based on the lateness of the vehicle
  • Extremely cost effective to scale
  • Low maintenance
  • Can support buses and routes from neighbouring authorities
  • Avoids any TLP hardware being deployed on buses

Description of service interface
R2p’s TLP system allows the authority to configure particular junction approaches remotely to optimise the sequence of events. This can be done, using a map interface to allocate the junctions, and bus stops to draw the routes where the bus is assigned to request the priority.
r2p’s TLP system can be bought as a standalone system or as an add-on to its base RTI platform, and can use both BODS or SIRI feeds for the source of live tacking information.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Faults shall be classified and addressed as:
Critical - any fault affecting the provision of information to more than one feed (eg. server fault, general communications fault) within 8 hours. This will be defined as not being met where either: (i) Resolution takes longer than 8 hours, or (ii) Resolution takes less than 8 hours but the System becomes unavailable again within 1 working day from the time of resolution.
Any faults affecting the provision of information to a single feed within 3 working days will be defined as not being met where either: (i) Resolution takes longer than three 3 working days, or (ii) Resolution takes less than 3 working days but the System becomes unavailable again within 1 working day from the time of resolution. Standard offered SLA is 99% availability. Refunds based on service credits against future month charges where Critical Faults not resolved in agreed times at rate of 3% per full day of service unavailable beyond SLA.
Approach to resilience
Details available on request.
Outage reporting
Visual and/or audio alerts are issued whilst calls can be automatically raised within the Fault Management System (FMS) and e-mail and or text notifications sent to pre-defined personnel. This is augmented by technical support monitoring. The system includes a dashboard presenting the status of all operating assets.

Security governance approach
Accountability is to the Board who regularly review the information security risk register. Regular testing of compliance and reviews of system configuration take place against a baseline.
Information security policies and processes
The Managing Director has overall responsibility for information security and governance. The Delivery Manager has day-to-day oversight and is responsible for delivery of the information organisational policies. Awareness and update briefings are held, including regular testing of compliance and reviews of system configuration.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
R2p configuration and change management forms part of the ISO9001 certification. All elements of software and infrastructure are under configuration management. Software is fully version-controlled with ability for roll back. The r2p Fault Management System (FMS) is used to track all changes to implemented systems and manage processes. Customer access to the FMS allows for full visibility of a system's history. Before sign-off, all changes are reviewed for governance, security, operational and functionality.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
R2p undertake constant review of trade press and news statements for any threats to core IT systems, eg. membership of transport trade groups for domain specific awareness. Security forms part of regular customer reviews to enable customer-specific threats to be identified. Security updates to operating system and related components including off the shelf software are configured to automatically install. The information governance process includes risk assessment of security threats.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
Regular reviews of system usage include user logins. The system automatically reports above defined levels of increased system use.
Any potential or actual compromise becomes a critical incident with immediate response with customer and Director involvement. Critical incident management is available 24/7. If feasible, the first response is to make the system inaccessible, leaving it running for any forensic analysis that may be needed.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
The FMS provides a controlled framework for the identification, recording, progressing, closing and analysis of faults enabling rapid reporting of standard incident types. Faults can be reported by telephone (via a dedicated Customer Support line which will be answered by
Customer Support personnel and not an automated voice system), email or web interface. The FMS allows the Service Manager or authorised personnel to view status of all tickets (open or closed) with the ability to drill down to details. Changes to ticket status will be notified by automated email.
