Description

The existing engineer terminal or tester devices for Signals, Signs and MIDAS and Roadside Device Simulators are no longer currently supportable due to technology advances and migrations. The purpose of this requirement is to procure a Roadside device tester and simulator that operates with roadside operational technology equipment in current, legacy and future technology assets. Operational Technology of Message Signs, Signals and MIDAS requires a RTS tool that will enable us to investigate, demonstrate, test, certify and monitor the operational performance of these devices. Highways England is looking for a supplier to work with to develop a new 'Open Source' tool which is intended to operate in the following areas: - Strategic Road Network (SRN) as a maintenance tool with the Roadside Technology Maintenance Contractors and commissioning and testing and commissioning tool with Delivery Partners on Smart Motorway Schemes. - Technology Operational Centre and Test and Innovation Centre as a test tool for investigation, analysis, compatibility testing, and performance testing and trailing technology. Supporting the Traffic Technology Division Operational Technology Strategy 2016 being consistent in testing and using agreed standards. - Third Line Repair Centre as a test tool for performance, acceptance and certification testing. - Roadside Technology Supplier development tool to enable investigation, acceptance testing, demonstrations, investigation and certification of operational technology. - Remote Monitoring by data exchange from both RMAS and the RTS enabling system efficiencies and open working.
