Equipment Costs for Roadside Control (RS-C)
Note: Equipment list adjusted to 2020 dollars. The date in parentheses under the capital cost value and O&M cost value represents the dollar year from which the cost value was adjusted. All costs are in $K.
| Unit Cost Element | IDAS# | Life (years) | Capital Cost $K, 2020 Dollars (Year) | O&M Cost $K/year, Dollars (Year) | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Linked Signal System LAN | RS002 | 20 | 17.10 40.16 (2005) | 0.23 0.46 (1995) | This element provides the connections to the linked signal system. |
|
| Software for Lane Control | RS011 | 20 | 27.35 54.70 (1995) | 2.73 5.47 (1995) | Software and hardware at site. Software is off-the-shelf technology and unit price does not reflect product development. |
|
| Signal Controller Upgrade for Signal Preemption | RS005 | 10 | 1.49 2.97 (2005) | Add-on to base capability (per intersection). Complement of IDAS elements RS004 and TV004. |
||
| Automatic Anti-icing System - Long Span | 12 | 32.94 326.14 (1999) | 0.99 19.44 (1999) | Typical automatic anti-icing system consists of a control system, chemical storage tank, distribution lines, pump, and nozzles. Pump and control hardware replaced every 5 years. For a long span system ranging from 320 feet to greater than 1/2 mile. O&M includes system maintenance, utilities, materials, and labor. The high O&M cost is for a much larger system; hence, the need for a greater amount of materials. |
||
| Fixed Lane Signal | RS009 | 20 | 3.42 4.56 (1995) | 0.34 0.46 (1995) | Cost per signal. |
|
| Lane Control Gates | RS012 | 20 | 56.95 85.43 (1995) | 1.14 1.71 (1995) | Per location. |
|
| Roadside Signal Preemption/Priority | 10 | 3.72 4.46 (2005) | 0.15 0.37 (2005) | Includes infrared detector, detector cable, phase selector, system software, and installation. Capital costs range is for two-directions. O&M cost estimate for operating, monitoring, and maintaining. Complement to transit (or emergency vehicle) on-board Signal Preemption/Priority Emitter. Capital costs can rise to $20K to $30K per intersection if traffic control equipment and/or systems need to be replaced. |
||
| Ramp Meter | RS006 | 5 | 17.81 35.63 (2003) | 0.86 2.00 (2003) | Includes ramp meter assembly, signal displays, controller, cabinet, detection, and optimization. |
|
| Signal Controller and Cabinet | 5.95 22.40 (2013) | 0.15 0.37 (2005) | Includes installation of traffic signal controller per intersection. |
|||
| Signal Preemption Receiver | RS004 | 5 | 1.46 4.37 (2004) | 0.03 0.15 (2004) | Two per intersection. Complement of IDAS elements RS005 and TV004. |
|
| Signal Controller Upgrade for Signal Control | RS003 | 20 | 1.78 4.28 (2003) | 0.15 0.30 (2003) | Local controller upgrade to provide advanced signal control. |
|
| Automatic Anti-icing System - Short Span | 12 | 16.18 (1998) | 1.29 (1998) | Typical automatic anti-icing system consists of a control system, chemical storage tank, distribution lines, pump, and nozzles. Pump and control hardware replaced every five years. For a short span system ranging from 120 to 180 feet. O&M includes system maintenance, utilities, materials, and labor. |
||
| Traffic Signal | 65.46 79.24 (2001) | 1.58 1.98 (1999) | Includes installation for one signal (four-leg intersection), conduit, controller, and detection device. Cost ranges from traffic signal with inductive loop detection (low) to non-intrusive detection (high). |
