Background

GDOT has initiated a program to upgrade state and local signal systems

throughout the state to Intelight MaxTime software. A representative from GDOT

made a presentation at Council on October 31, 2017 about the program and the

implementation at the Flat Rock Road/Kitten Lake intersection. Staff has been

working with GDOT and their consultants to determine what would be needed to

implement throughout the City.

Analysis

MaxTime/Maxview collects data at the intersections every 10th of a second and

allows someone to analyze the data to look at how the signal is operating, look

at timing plans and troubleshooting equipment. It will send alerts when the

signal goes into flash or when certain equipment is not functioning properly.

GDOT also provides oncall technical assistance for the software. GDOT will

upgrade any CPU's and power supplies as required to run the software. Training

is provided for staff on the operation and maintenance of the system. GDOT and

staff will be able to access a server to monitor and make adjustments to the

system remotely. GDOT is providing 4G routers and cellular service to all

signal systems not connected with fiber. The spreadsheet provides outlines the

proposed schedule for implementation

Financial Considerations

There is currently no expected cost to the City.

Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement

City staff will continue to operate and maintain the system.

Legal Considerations

All grant services require Council approval.

Recommendations/ Actions

Approve acceptance of services, software and equipment from Georgia Department

of Transportation (GDOT) in order to upgrade the City's signal system to

Intelight MaxTime software.
