EXHIBIT B: SCOPE OF WORK 
The RADS Real-Time Operations Data project requires implementing the following functionality: 
1.1 Configure Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM) signals – This project will expand 
MCDOT’s existing ATSPM system to offer enhanced ATSPM coverage for agency signals that are part of 
the high-priority corridors identified in the AZTech Traffic Management and Operations Performance 
Indicators (PI) Book (Performance Indicators | AZTech). 
 
1.2 Extend the capabilities of MCDOT’s ATSPM-based Corridor Analytics Dashboard (Measurement, 
Accuracy, and Reliability Kit (MARK 1) or similar platform designated by MCDOT) to encompass reporting 
functionalities for PI Book corridors, ensuring comprehensive coverage and analysis of key transportation 
corridors throughout the region. 
 
1.3 Upgrade RADS servers to support the collection and storage of regional turning movement count data, 
ensuring scalability and efficiency in handling the increased data volume. 
 
1.4 Establish robust data connections to ingest turning movement count data from partnering agency detection 
systems, implementing standardized protocols to ensure seamless data transfer and compatibility. This may 
necessitate the creation of a new server to accommodate data flow and ensure efficient processing and storage 
capabilities. 
 
1.5 Configure the AZTech Regional Information System (ARIS) portal to provide user-friendly access to turning 
movement count data through downloadable datasets, enabling agencies to retrieve and utilize the data for 
analysis and decision-making purposes. 
 
1.6 Enhance the functionality of ARIS by creating interactive charts and visualizations, including industry-
standard turning movement count diagrams, specifically tailored for viewing and analyzing turning 
movement count data, empowering users to gain insights and make informed decisions based on the data. 
 
Project Understanding and Approach 
RADS / ARIS 2.0 have been implemented recently as part of the RADS Re-Architect project.  While RADS 
supports systems integration and archiving of data, ARIS serves as a data dissemination portal for all ITS related 
data in the region.  RADS / ARIS 2.0 were developed using current technologies in the hybrid cloud environment.  
The following functionality has been implemented. 
 
 
Freeway and Arterial Sensor/Probe Data and Services 
o 
ADOT Freeway Management System (FMS) detector stations Volume, Occupancy, and Speed 
o 
ADOT FMS ramp meters metering rate, and traffic counts 
o 
Arterial speed and travel time from ARID devices for four cities 
o 
MCDOT VDS turning movement, and pedestrian counts. 
 
Event and Public Safety data 
o 
Work zone data from more than 12 agencies 
o 
Public safety data from Phoenix Fire, Mesa Police and Fire 
o 
Tempe Police CAD data is in the process of integrating  
 
API’s have been implemented utilizing ITS standards such as TMDD and WZDx. These APIs are being 
utilized by third parties. 
 
Dashboards that provide access to near real-time and historical data.  
Contractor approach to integrating arterial TMC data is to 
 
1. Investigate and develop software processes for continuous TMC data utilizing vendor provided API’s or 
other methods. 
2. Integrate TMC data from ten agencies utilizing the processes developed for each one of the three vendors. 
This would involve establishing connections with each of the ten agencies and setting up a proxy server. In 
the case of Econolite, the API resides on the controller.

SERIAL 240156-RFP 
 
3. Develop dashboards in ARIS.  A prototype is currently being developed for MCDOT intersections with 
Econolite controllers.  This project will confirm the requirements and document the architecture for a more 
suitable production environment. 
4. Configure 204 intersections in ATSPM utilizing the ATSPM configuration tool.  
5. Configure 10 priority corridors in MARK 1 or other Corridor Analytics Dashboard. 
Host server upgrades: The FTP server will be upgraded to provide redundancy. 
 
 
Project Understanding and Approach 
 
The Contractor has a comprehensive understanding and technical expertise of the current RADS environment 
including the software, hardware and communications architecture of the current RADS/ARIS and also ATSPM 
implementation.  The Contractor has been supporting and maintaining it for the last twenty years but most 
importantly developed and implemented the current RADS/ARIS 2.0 
 
RADS Real Time Operations Project Plan: 
 
1.0 
Configure ATSPM Signals 
 
The Contractor as part of TE064 RADS Expansion is currently moving the ATSPM application to 
RADS/ARIS 2.0 environment and upgrading ATSPM to the most current version. The Contractor, as part 
of this project, shall utilize ATSPM UI to configure signals at 204 intersections (high-priority corridors 
identified in the AZTech Traffic Management and Operations Performance Indicators (PI) book). This 
would include coordinating with agencies along the corridors for the required intersection configuration 
information. 
 
2.0 
ATSPM-based Corridor Analytics Dashboard 
 
MCDOT currently utilizes Measurement, Accuracy, and Reliability Kit (MARK 1) for corridor analytics.  
However, as part of the TE064 RADS Expansion project, MARK 1 and similar platforms are being 
evaluated for use in the RADS/ARIS 2.0 environment.   
 
This project shall add 12 corridors and 204 intersections that would encompass reporting functionalities for 
PI book corridors, ensuring comprehensive coverage and analysis of key transportation corridors 
throughout the region. 
 
3.0 
Integrate TM count data from VDS Systems (3 systems)
 
Currently there are number of VDS systems utilized in the MAG region by member agencies including the 
following: Econolite, Iteris, Flir, Miovision, Gridsmart, Wavetronix, InSync, No Traffic. 
 
The Contractor shall work with MCDOT in selecting three vendors for the purposes of this project.  
Various integration options available for continuous TMC data including vendor provided API’s or other 
methods will be investigated. 
 
Software and communications architecture and integration processes shall be developed for the chosen 
vendors utilizing vendor API’s or best available means.   This may involve running tasks at MCDOT or at 
the agencies network.  A device inventory will need to be created which includes at least location 
information (latitude/longitude), device name, device ID, vendor name.  This may be acquired through 
APIs or may have to be manually entered. 
 
4.0 
Integrate agency data (10 agencies)  
 
TMC data from each of the member agencies will be integrated into RADS utilizing the processes 
developed for each one of the three vendors. The following types of data will be integrated: 
 
 
Turning Movement Data 
 
Vehicle counts

SERIAL 240156-RFP 
 
 
Bin statistics (vehicle classification, pedestrian detection) 
The contractor has identified two possible methods of data acquisition: cloud-based API and direct device 
connection.   
 
Cloud Based APIs 
Agencies which have cloud-based APIs will be accessed across the internet from MCDOT.   
    
Direct Device Connection 
Agencies that do not have cloud-based APIs and require a direct device connection to acquire data will 
require a locally installed application within the agency network.  This may require an additional server 
hosted in the agency network that must have access to both the devices and the RCN for communicating 
with RADS. 
 
5.0 
Develop TMC Dashboards by agency in ARIS 
 
The arterial data access for a jurisdiction will be developed to include: 
 
 
View and download 15-minute, hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly volume charts and data.   
 
Detailed multi-modal volumes by lane, approach, and intersection.   
 
Ability to select an intersection to view the detailed Turning Movement Counts (TMC) table; the peak 
hour statistics for AM, midday, and PM rush hours are automatically displayed, with either total hourly 
volumes or hourly lane volumes  
 
Ability to import downloaded data into popular traffic analysis and modeling tools, or saved to 
standard spreadsheets. 
A GIS screen will show the locations of the intersections for which data is available.  The user will have the 
capability to access the data by clicking on a location. 
 
Users shall have the capability to access the following data by intersection: 
 
1. Total System Volume by Mode  
2. ATSPM Performance Indicators 
3. Failed Intersections, devices 
4. Mode Share 
5. Map Overlay 
6. Selectable intersection icons 
7. Correlation of lane volumes percentages to green time percentages for each movement as possible 
performance indicator 
8. Top 5 Intersections varying from Historic Volume norms.
