The Metrocom III and Private Data-TAC systems are used primarily for bus operations on a wide-area basis. The North and South Smartnet networks are architecturally identical, excepting that the two networks differ in channel capacity and the frequencies utilized. Both networks are interconnected by means of an analog loop microwave network. NJ TRANSIT New System Specifications Version 6 - June 2011 -1-- RFP No. 11-018 Design & Installation of a Statewide Land Mobile Radio Network All subscriber radios access both networks and manually roam between the North and South Smartnet Networks as required by routine operations and emergency response. Both networks are interfaced to a common dispatch control network for which the core electronics is located in the Maplewood Communications Center (the “MCC”). The SIMS network provides trunked network management functions, subscriber access controls, and critical subscriber ID processing (e.g., emergency alerts). The SIMS network is also integrated into the dispatch network through the Metrocom III CAD network. The CAD network and the associated Private Data-TAC system provide the critical bridge between the functions of the Metrocom III System and the functions of the North and South Smartnet Networks. 1.2 North Smartnet System 1.2.1 Infrastructure The infrastructure of the North Smartnet System is an analog, 10-channel trunked simulcast voice network serving northern New Jersey. Six sites provide the coverage necessary for reliable mobile radio communications in all northern New Jersey Transit operational territories. The radio transmission sites utilized by NJT for the North Smartnet System are: • • • • • • Eagle Rock Prime Site (W. Orange) Warrenville Telegraph Hill (Holmdel) Toms River Ramapo (Ringwood) Montana Mountain (Brass Castle) All of the transmission sites are interconnected with a 6 GHz analog loop microwave network traversing and linking all sites used for radio communications by NJT, including the South Smartnet System’s sites and the Metrocom III and Private Data-TAC Systems’ sites. Dispatch operations for Bus Operations are located at and operated from the MCC, which is also the location of the CAD network and the Metrocom controller infrastructure. In the MCC, dispatch operations are supported for 15 operator workstations. They are interfaced through a Motorola Embassy Switch which communicates with four Central Electronics Banks (“CEBs”). Three of the CEBs are used to interface the 15 operator workstations, and one CEB is used to interface three additional operator workstations operating remotely in the Newton Avenue Control Center (the “NCC”). Dispatch operations for Light Rail Vehicle Base Maintenance Operations are located at and operated via the Newark Light Rail Operations Control Center (OCC). In the OCC, dispatch operations are supported by two (2) Motorola Centracom Elite operator workstations driven by a locally installed CEB. The CEB is remotely interfaced to the Motorola Embassy Switch located at the MCC. NJ TRANSIT New System Specifications Version 6 - June 2011 -3-- RFP No. 11-018 Design & Installation of a Statewide Land Mobile Radio Network In addition to console-based dispatch operations centers, many subscriber “fleets” are controlled through lower-power radio control stations located at both NJT and non-NJT locations. These may be either locally or remote controlled via digital and/or tone remote Finally, the North Smartnet system also provides limited data transport using a dataover-trunked radio feature. This feature is utilized by Hudson-Bergen light rail (HBLR) to provide vehicle status and alarm information to their operations control center. Infrastructure supporting this capability includes Motorola VRM-100 modems in light rail vehicles and a Motorola RNC-1000 controller located at the Hudson-Bergen operations center. The continuance of data transport capability for HBLR is a requirement for this RFP and the successful vendor. This includes the software and/or hardware necessary to interface to the source of the data from the light rail vehicle and deliver the data via new D-LMR system to HBLR’s office systems. Note that HBLR also uses Private DataTac for a portion of its fleet. See section Metrocom/Private Data-Tac Systems on Metrocom. The prime Smartnet trunked controller, receiver voting, and simulcast processing are located at the Eagle Rock site in W. Orange, NJ. The Eagle Rock site is linked to the MCC and all remote trunked simulcast sites through the analog microwave network. 1.1.1 Subscriber Fleet and Operations Whereas the Metrocom III System is used primarily by NJT bus operations, the following organizations utilize the North and South Smartnet Networks: • • • • • • • • NJT Police Department Customer Emergency Response Teams (“CERT”) Bus Operations North Bus Operations – Regional Supervisors Contract/Private Bus Carriers, including Academy Bus Lines, American Red Cross, Community Coach, Connex, Leonardo, Olympia Trails, Red & Tan Bus Lines, Suburban Transit, Leisure Lines, and Trans-Bridge Lines. Light Rail – Newark Light Rail Light Rail – Hudson Bergen Light Rail Light Rail – South Jersey Light Rail (“River Line”) There are approximately 1700 subscriber radios operating on the North and South Smartnet Networks. Motorola manufactures the majority of the radios and those radios include a variety of models, vintages, and operational capabilities. Approximately 1400 of the subscriber radios are mobile stations and 300 are portable radios. 1.1.1 Spectrum Allocation NJ TRANSIT New System Specifications Version 6 - June 2011 -3-- RFP No. 11-018 Design & Installation of a Statewide Land Mobile Radio Network The North Smartnet System utilizes NPSPAC frequencies, all of which are in the process of being rebanded – under the auspices of a different project initiative --from old NPSPAC 866 MHz to new NPSPAC 851 MHz as follows: • 866.4625 to 851.4625 • 866.4875 to 851.4875 • 866.9625 to 851.9625 • 866.9875 to 851.9875 • 867.4625 to 852.4625 • 867.4875 to 852.4875 • 867.9625 to 852.9625 • 867.9875 to 852.9875 • 868.4625 to 853. 4625 • 868.4875 to 853.4875 NOTE: Base Transmit frequencies are listed. These frequencies are assigned on 12.5 KHz centers, with 20 KHz bandwidth. 1.1 South Smartnet System 1.1.1 Infrastructure The infrastructure of the South Smartnet is an analog, four-channel trunked simulcast voice network serving southern New Jersey. Seven sites provide the coverage necessary for reliable mobile radio communications in all southern New Jersey Transit operational territories. The radio transmission sites utilized by NJT for the South Smartnet System are: • • • • • • • Berlin (Prime site) Bordentown Woodbine Atlantic Community College (Mays Landing) Ocean (Barnegat) Bridgeton Newton Ave (Camden) Dispatch operations for the South Smartnet Network are operated from the Newton Avenue (Camden) Bus Control Center, which is remotely linked, via microwave, to the CEB located in the MCC. One CEB in the MCC drives three operator workstations at the NCC. As is true for the North Smartnet System, all of the transmission sites of the South Smartnet Network are interconnected via the 6 GHz analog loop microwave network. The control of the South Smartnet Network is located at the Berlin site where the prime site controller and the simulcast audio processing equipment reside. 1.1.1 Subscriber Fleet and Operations NJ TRANSIT New System Specifications Version 6 - June 2011 -3-- RFP No. 11-018 Design & Installation of a Statewide Land Mobile Radio Network NJT operations utilizing the South Smartnet Network are essentially the same as for North Smartnet Network. The following core operational groups utilize the South Smartnet System: • • • • • • NJT Police Department CERTs Bus Operations South Bus Operations – Regional Supervisors Contract/Private Bus Carriers South Jersey Light Rail (River Line) There is no partition of Smartnet subscribers between the North and South Smartnet Networks. Subscribers can and do roam and operate anywhere in the NJT territory. 1.1.1 Spectrum Allocation The South Smartnet System utilizes channels in the interleaved band with the following base station transmit frequencies: • • • • 854.3375 856.3875 858.3875 860.3875 NOTE: Base Transmit frequencies are listed. These frequencies are assigned on 25 KHz centers, with 25 KHz bandwidth. 1.1 Metrocom/Private Data-Tac Systems 1.1.1 Metrocom System Infrastructure Data transmission capability is supported by a wide-area Motorola Private Data-Tac system that is an integral part of the Metrocom III System. Voice is carried over a conventional simulcast system that is partitioned (North and South). The Metrocom III and Private Data-Tac systems are utilized by bus operations with the exception of DataTac-only use by Hudson-Bergen Light rail (“HBLR”). HBPLR utilizes Data-Tac for vehicular status and alarming data transport. The Private Data-Tac system is controlled by the RNC 3000 installed in the MCC where that controller interfaces with the CAD network. The Metrocom III System utilizes ten channels for voice in the northern partition and two channels for voice in the southern partition. In the northern partition, ten channels are allocated to voice traffic, and two channels are allocated to data traffic. The data channels assigned are 854.2875 MHz (northern partition only) and 854.4875 MHz (wide-area). NJ TRANSIT New System Specifications Version 6 - June 2011 -3-- RFP No. 11-018 Design & Installation of a Statewide Land Mobile Radio Network The northern partition utilizes seven RF sites to provide the existing system coverage: • • • • • • • Ramapo (Ringwood) Montana Mountain (Brass Castle) Warrenville Telegraph Hill (Holmdel) Toms River Eagle Rock (W. Orange) Fairview (2 north data channels, no north voice channels) The southern partition utilizes three channels. Two channels are allocated to voice traffic, and one channel (the wide-area data channel 854.4875 MHz) is allocated to Private Data-Tac for data traffic. The southern partition utilizes ten RF sites to provide the existing sytem coverage: • • • • • • • • • • Bordentown Berlin Ocean (Barnegat) Woodbine Cape May Atlantic Community College (Mays Landing) Bridgeton Newton Ave (Camden) Woodstown Atlantic City Bus Terminal 1.1.1 Metrocom System Subscriber Fleet and Operations Metrocom III subscriber radios communicate to dispatch operations at the MCC and the NCC through the Metrocom III System. The Metrocom III System allows data received from a subscriber mobile to be reformatted and passed to the CAD computer network via Private Data-Tac for processing and performing such functions as Request-to-Talk, Emergency Alarms, Mechanical Alarms, Run & Line Information, Schedule Information, Operator ID, and Vehicle Location Information. Request-to-Talk functions processed to the dispatch operator through the CAD network are acknowledged and replied through the Private Data-Tac’s system infrastructure assigning the subscriber to a voice channel when voice communications are needed. The Metrocom III System supports 2,062 subscriber radios. 1,681 subscribers operate primarily in the in the northern partition, and 381 subscribers operate primarily in the southern partition. All Metrocom III subscriber units are Motorola manufactured special product devices. Radio transceivers are either Syntor X or Spectra products. These Metrocom III mobiles consist of an 800 MHz conventional radio interfaced to a Mobile Logic Unit which supports the operator interface control head function as well as the processing logic of the data communications with the infrastructure. The HudsonNJ TRANSIT New System Specifications Version 6 - June 2011 -3-- RFP No. 11-018 Design & Installation of a Statewide Land Mobile Radio Network Bergen Light Rail modems used to communicate through Private Data-Tac are Motorola VRM-500’s. The RFP response shall include the interfacing of new D-LMR subscribers to the source of light rail vehicle data and delivery to HBLR’s office system. 1.1.2 Metrocom System Spectrum Allocation The northern partition utilizes two Expansion Band Channels that will be relocated from that band as follows: • • 1.1 860.2375 MHz will be relocated to 854.2375MHz 860.4875 MHz will be relocated to 854.6125 MHz Common Elements Description 1.1.1 Computer Aided Dispatch System The Computer Aided Dispatch System (the “CAD” network) interfaces the Metrocom III voice system to the dispatch and control network via Private Data-Tac. The CAD network also integrates SIMS functions for processing trunked radio push-to-talk identification and Emergency Alerts received from the North and South Smartnet Networks to the CAD network’s terminal workstations used by the dispatch operators. Architecturally, the CAD network consists of Digital Equipment Corporation (“DEC”) VAX computers operating on a UNIX type operating platform. The VAX host cluster is networked via TCP/IP to drive data from the Metrocom III System and the North and South Smartnet Networks to 20 dispatch operator terminals. The dispatch operator workstations are all PC based terminals. Dispatch operators use the CAD network’s workstations to monitor vehicle locations, vehicle status, incident administration, database management, and general communications with the bus operators. Each dispatcher communicates and manages his or her group of buses / vehicles as assigned by the dispatch supervisor. The existing CAD system also provides signpost/odometer-based automatic vehicle location and performance tracking on selected bus routes. This system uses strategically located radio beacons (signposts) in the field together with signpost receivers on buses to identify signpost passage events. Leaving the influence of a radio signpost triggers transmission of a coded signal through the existing bus radio that identifies the signpost just passed. Mileage traveled since the most recent signpost passage is determined using the vehicle odometer, and periodically transmitted through the bus radio to the CAD system. Using this data, assuming the odometer is functioning properly and the bus has not deviated from the scheduled route, the CAD system can then display bus positions as they progress down the route with reasonable accuracy. Since the CAD system is currently able to support only this mode of AVL processing, and the new radios will not have signpost receive capability, the new GPS/radio system vendor shall be required implement geo-fencing (or other approved means) to emulate the signpost/odometer function when sending location data to the CAD system. NJ TRANSIT New System Specifications Version 6 - June 2011 -2-- RFP No. 11-018 Design & Installation of a Statewide Land Mobile Radio Network 1.1.2 Voice Dispatch Console System The voice dispatch network employs Centracom Series II console electronics and is linked to the North and South Smartnet System’s prime sites and the Metrocom III System’s sites by means of the microwave network. The hierarchy of the console infrastructure is built upon a Motorola Embassy Switch. That switch interconnects all audio and data between the microwave network as well as four CEBs, all of which are located at the MCC. Three CEBs support 15 dispatch console operators at the MCC, and the fourth CEB remotely drives three dispatch console operators at the NCC through a microwave link. There is another CEB which is linked into the Embassy switched remotely located at the Newark Light Rail OCC. This CEB interfaces two (2) Centracom Elite consoles co-located in Bloomfield. The Embassy switch also interfaces to the CAD network host to process and queue voice communications between dispatchers and bus operations on the Metrocom III System based upon the CAD network’s call processing algorithms. All of the Bus Operations dispatch consoles are button & LED (“B&L”) type workstations with limited physical space in the console furniture for expansion. (The Newark Light Rail workstations are Centracom Elite). For each trunked talk-group on the Bus Operations consoles within the North and South Smartnet networks, there is a dedicated Channel Control Module (“CCM”). Similarly, a CCM is dedicated for the Metrocom Voice channel access. 1.1.3 Radio Subscriber Fleet Equipment Description 1.1.3.1 Smartnet Radio Subscriber Fleet Equipment NJT’s fleet includes a variety of Motorola-manufactured Smartnet radio products. Approximately 1700 radios are included in the Smartnet subscriber fleet, 1,400 of which are mobile products and 300 are portable products.
