3 PRODUCT FEATURES DESCRIPTION
3.1 UTMC OTU
The UTMC OTU application implements both the Simple UTC MIB (TS004.004:2008
UM/004) and the Full UTC or UG405 MIB (TS004.004:2008UM/008).
The facilities are described in detail in the UTMC OTU Handbook 667/HB/46000/004.
3.2 MOVA (Microprocessor Optimised Vehicle Actuation)
The MOVA algorithm monitors the movement of vehicles through an intersection and then
adjusts the operation of the controller to optimise its flow. The Stratos Outstation
implements MOVA7.
Up to four MOVA 'kernels' (instances of the MOVA application) can be enabled with the
appropriate licenses, with each MOVA 'kernel' controlling and monitoring one stream of
the traffic controller.
The MOVA facilities are described in detail in the MOVA Handbook 667/HB/46000/003.
3.3 Digital Input /Output
The Stratos outstation can be fitted with various I/O options for connection to detection
equipment and freestanding interface to controllers.
The integrated PSU board (section 4.6) includes a small number of I/O.
A maximum of three 48-16 I/O boards (section 0) can be fitted to the Stratos Outstation.
This provides a maximum general purpose I/O count for a Stratos Outstation as:
Inputs:
3 x 48-16 I/O boards: 48 x 3 inputs = 144 inputs
16 x 3 outputs = 48 outputs
Plus
1 x PSU board: 8 inputs
2 outputs
Total: 152 inputs, 50 outputs
It is also possible to connect the Intelligent Detector Backplane kit 667/1/32910/950 for
connection to loop detectors (section 4.9).
3.4 Backup Power for Last Gasp Dial
The inbuilt backup battery will be adequate for most backup applications where the
Stratos Outstation must communicate the power loss state to an in-station. The battery
backup period is set in firmware to 1 minute. After this time the Stratos Outstation will
switch itself off. Typically the backup power will also support any connected 48-16 IO
cards and a range of communications devices (e.g. IP router). The main supply (either AC
mains or 24V) must be re-instated for the unit to power on. The 1 minute period will be
sufficient in most cases for the communications to take place (last gasp dial). This period
