Abstract
From an agency’s perspective, having an Actuated Signal Controller that is interchangeable with a controller from a different manufacturer provides the agency with more options and does not get the agency locked with one specific manufacturer. The National Transportation Communication for Intelligent Transportation Systems Protocol (NTCIP) was created to provide a communication standard that, when implemented correctly, should provide the interchangeability the agency desires. Unfortunately, the standard for Actuated Signal Controllers is still immature and not much testing has been done to verify the manufacturers are compliant to the standards. To remedy this, an agency must first determine which aspects of the standards they should require for the device. Once this is done, a testing tool must be selected, and test procedures and scripts can be developed to verify the devices are compliant to the agencies requirements or not. The initial testing of NTCIP compliance for Actuated Signal Controllers will be discussed in detail.
