RATMS Operational Scenarios. 3.4.1 RATMS and associated devices will be operated and maintained by the RATMS operators. They will be responsible for maintaining the communications system down to the edge of the Ethernet switch that serves as a point of connection for traffic controllers and other roadside equipment. 3.4.2 RATMS operators will maintain bluetooth readers, dynamic message sign (DMS), Microwave Vehicle Detection System (MVDS) units, CCTV Cameras, Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS), network devices, surge protective devices, and other equipment associated with the RATMS. Day-to-day operations and maintenance of RATMS will include several common RATMS operational scenarios. While the RATMS will be capable of operating and managing the region’s traffic signal system on 24-hours a day, 7-days a week, initial core hours of operation are expected to be Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Hours and shifts for RATMS operators can fall outside of these core hours so that there is coverage during morning and evening traffic peaks and special events. As the scope and responsibility of the RATMS and RTMC increases, additional staff can be added into overlapping shifts that provides coverage from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and beyond. In all cases, on- call staffing will be required to respond to emergencies and special events outside of normal business hours, such as major airshows held at area beaches and military installations and other significant tourist events.
