RGB Spectrum has announced that the City of Norman, Oklahoma has selected the company to deliver a video processing and control system for its new Traffic Management Centre (TMC).
This innovative display approach will replace the traditional front-of-room screen with personal console-based video walls, that the company claims will set new standards for operational efficiency.
Stantec partnership
Designed in partnership with global engineering and design firm Stantec, the new system redefines what’s possible in compact, efficient traffic management environments.
At the core of the deployment is RGB Spectrum’s Zio 4000 series video processor, XtendPoint KVM-over-IP and RGB Rack PCs, enabling seamless, customised workflows to operators.
“Incredibly rewarding”
David R Riesland, City Transportation Engineer, City of Norman commented: “Norman’s commitment to cutting-edge technology ensures we can effectively monitor traffic patterns and enhance safety for all who live, work and travel through our city.
“This project has been over 15 years in the making and it’s incredibly rewarding to see that long-time vision finally become reality.
“We’re excited to partner with RGB Spectrum to implement a best-in-class solution that supports our mission,” Riesland concluded.
The new centre
The new 2,300 square-foot facility will be transformed into a centre, including three offices, an operations room and an IT room.
Within the operations space, four operators oversee five discrete networks, ranging from ATMS/ITS and enterprise to public safety, security and web administration.
The company says that each operator will have access to five dedicated Rack PCs located remotely in the IT room, allowing for quiet, clutter-free workstations and centralised maintenance.
Incorporating RGB’s products
RGB claims that by incorporating its XtendPoint KVM-over-IP with multi-viewing capability, operators control and interact with any PC across any network from their consoles.
The upper displays at each station serve as personalised “videowalls,” dynamically combining a mix of sources.
Each operator can mirror a common display layout or configure their own unique, task-specific view.
The company adds that in total, any operator can control and view any or all of the 20 Rack PCs, providing a flexible and resilient operations environment.
Whether deploying a centralised videowall or a decentralised, operator-specific layout, RGB Spectrum delivers the mission-critical performance and adaptability that modern traffic management centres demand.
