SEPAC® 3. 52/4. 52 Priority Control Buses and light rail trains need to stay

SEPAC® 3. 52/4. 52 Priority Control Buses and light rail trains need to stay on schedule to make public transportation an attractive alternative to other means of transportation. At the same time, keeping individual traffic flowing to avoid congestion, which causes a negative impact on the environment, is equally important. Giving high priority to public transportation without interrupting the general traffic flow has been a major challenge for conventional traffic control software in the past.

Modes of Operation SEPAC’s traffic capabilities include five modes of operation that allow for Time of Day (TOD) operations, week plans, time of year or holiday plans, which include: coordination, free and flash functions. Modes include: 1 Standalone – All functionality is operational as a standalone unit. Time updates available through GPS syncs. Controller can be programmed to use the GPS output for keeping its internal TOD clock accurate. 2 Master Control – In conjunction with a Marc Master Controller, SEPAC will work within a closed loop system. 3 System Control – SEPAC has the ability to communicate to TACTICS® and operate under system control. 4 Manual – SEPAC can be controlled manually to run specific coordination routines when set to manual, including free operation. 5 Adaptive Control – SEPAC can accept commands from SCOOT® for adaptive control, if available.
