Hardware Design
Transport
Data Systems has a significant experience in the design and implementation
of both large and small scale hardware systems. In particular TDS
has experience in the development of hardware designs and associated
documentation including requirements, drawings and specifications.
This includes the actual development of hardware and the associated
software integration. Our technical experience includes:
Electronic
System Design: This includes sensor integration as well as
real time data collection and processing. Recent examples include
the following:
- Completed
a lane simulator using a Linux based engine controlled via a
web interface. Simulator allows for development and test of
the lane control computer with simulated AVI and AVC sensor
inputs. .
-
Designed revolutionary high velocity vehicle classification
system - Patent received from the US Patent Office. Design validation
program using Motorola 68040 microprocessor was completed in
mid 1995. System was migrated to Intel based processor in 1996.
- Generated
a detailed design for a violation detection system using license
plate extraction system. System is being implemented on the
ATCAS program. A follow-on variation is in service on the New
Jersey Consortium project. Developed the VES software for the
lane implementation and developed an OCR to complement the license
plate capture system.
- Completed
lane controller design including actual wiring and packaging
using Intel Celeron based processor.
- Completed
a multi-lane overhead laser vehicle separator system that is
currently in use on high speed lanes on the New Jersey Turnpike
and at the Biddles Plaza in Delaware.
Microprocessor
Board Design:
Real
time digital control system design encompassing a variety of microprocessors
and microcontrollers as well as the latest advances in programmable
logic devices. Designs completed using Motorola 68332, 68HC11,
68HC70S, Intel 8051, Dallas DS87C520 microprocessors.

Technical Project Management
Transport
Data Systems has many years of project management for a wide variety
of applications. The types of projects have ranged from small scale
engineering design projects, to extremely large scale engineering
projects including engineering design, civil engineering/construction,
manufacturing and installation with budgets ranging from $50K to
$500M. Recent technical project management experience includes the
following:
South Bay Expressway - Provided on site technical liaison between InTranS project office in New York and the South Bay Expressway project office in San Diego. Participated in the complete system design process. The project included 54 lanes of toll collection, highway CCTV surveillance and traffic counting, site security and a central administration center with ETC, cash and violation processing. This work was done as a subcontractor to InTranS Group.
South Bay Expressway - Installation manager for the installation of 46 low speed lanes, 4 multi lane open road toll sites, and all of the equipment at the toll administration center. This work was done as a subcontrator to InTranS Group.
New
Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway Toll System - Led
the engineering project management and system design for $500M
program to implement EZPASS system on NJ toll roads. This is the
largest toll system in the US and includes a customer service
center, violation processing center, 2 Central/Host Computers,
71 plazas and over 680 lanes of equipment (ticket and barrier)
using Mark IV AVI transponders.
Caltrans
ATCAS Program - Led the MFS Network
Technologies system design effort on the Caltrans ATCAS Program
through the completion of the Preliminary Design Review. Project
included a Customer Service Center and Host as well as lane and
plaza equipment for 9 bridges located throughout the State of
California.
Florida
Turnpike Automatic Fare Collection - Project manager for the
development of the hardware and software for the upgrade of the
entire Florida Turnpike. This included over a central host computing
system with 50 associated plazas encompassing over 500 lanes of
fare collection equipment including both ticket and barrier systems
