12.1 A concept of remote dispatching will allow buses to be monitored and assigned routes from a remote location using a series of cameras to provide situational awareness to the RAC dispatchers. There is no wired connectivity between the Rental Car Center and the RAC bus depot. The RAC has an internet accessible network environment that supports T1 Speed. The concept would involve:

· · · · ·

Cameras pointing to the RAC Five (5) bus stops. This would be to gauge passenger and bus presence at the stops. Cameras pointing to the ramp approaching the top level of the RAC. This would provide bus information to the dispatcher. Cameras would have to be high resolution in IP66 weather proof enclosures, rated for outdoor use, work at night, and in high and low light conditions. Camera would be viewed remotely from an office at the RAC bus depot. This would support route assignment decisions by the dispatcher. Console viewing setup would be located at the RAC bus depot

Section 12 - Appendix D – Optional Outdoor Camera System 12 Appendix D - Camera Base Functionality 12.2 These devices shall be fit for their intended use. The systems provided under this project shall include a Nationally Recognized Manufacturer 3-year on-site nonprorated warranty. The devices must be rated for outdoor use with extreme changes in environmental temperatures and humidity. The cameras will operate 24hours a day and have a high resolution focal distance. The cameras should be able to function in high and low light conditions which communicate to the console viewing station with monitors located approx. 1/2mile away at the RAC bus depot.
