JTOC – Joint Transport Operations Centre
• JTOC general update
SCATS in Auckland
• SCATS is finally on the move
• 5 year’s in the making
•
•
•
•
Merger - Transit NZ and LTSA
Mergers – Auckland Councils
Merger – RTA and Maritime Safety into RMS and Transport for NSW
Licenses needed re-doing for both AT and NZTA
• SCATS 6.6.2 until August 2013  6.7.2
• SCATS 6.7.2 migration to 6.9.1 (started this week!)
The Numbers
• We have 9 Regions with provision for 11 Regions in our license
• Migrating of sites between Regions is underway to “load balance” the regions
from an SI/SA perspective
• Intersections = 911
• 890 SCATS sites (incl 122 Ramp signal sites)
• 21 Isolated sites
Upgrading the Auckland System
• This has been a challenge in many different ways!
• Progressively managed upgrades
• Communications
• Server Environment
• SCATS software
• From the 2009-2010 we have progressively migrated ALL leased line
communication circuits primarily to ADSL
• Cheaper operating costs
• Not tied to one location for SCATS servers
• The last circuit was changed over in Sept 2013
Communications
• No more leased line circuits
• Many comms solutions
• ADSL – 608 sites
• VDSL – 21 sites + CCTV
• Private copper – 81 sites (mostly Auckland CBD)
• Fibre – 152 sites
• WiMax Wireless – 14 sites
• 3G – 1 site
• Multi connected – 12 sites
SCATS Environment
• Servers migrated from physical operating Windows Server 2003
• Now ALL servers are operating in a Virtual Machine environment
running Windows Server 2008 R2
• SCATS 6.6.2 ran well under this setup
• Next steps after migrating to 6.9.1 is to prepare and test the
failover/fail back systems
SCATS Upgrade
• Until August 2013 running version 6.6.2
• Major data cleanup required for preparation of migrating to 6.9.1
• Variation routines and action lists mostly
• Intermediate jump to 6.7.2 (bridging version) completed in Sept 2013
• New licenses and dongles required for 6.9.1
• Many headaches around licensing and naming conventions
• Most SCATS Regions will change name to marry up with Signal maintenance area’s
• Tricky issues around connecting physical Network dongles to Virtual servers
• SCATS 6.9.1 requires more Central Manager data processing
• Upgraded SCATS CM Access database to SQL server express
SCATS Upgrade
• SCATS Central Manager upgraded to 6.9.1 on Monday this week
• RED network dongles cannot be updated by user
• New dongles are required if you purchase more site licenses
• Regions will be upgraded over the next two weeks
• Licensing issues – Dual licensing now in use
• Server license and Client license required for 3rd party ITS connected
applications
• Bus priority broken for two days until RMS figured out how to license external
3rd party ITS applications
SCATS Applications
• In addition to the core applications:
•
•
•
•
•
•
SCATS History Reader (ALL sites, not just those in IDM’s)
