Bridging The Gap Between Traffic Management Systems And Intelligent Transportation Systems

NTCIP, or National Transportation Communications for ITS Protocol, is a standard protocol that allows traffic management systems to talk to intelligent transportations systems (ITS) field devices such as: dynamic message signs, CCTV cameras, vehicle detection sensors, traffic signals, road weather information stations (RWIS), and many more. Learn more about how you can bring the power of standards-based NTCIP into your organization, systems and devices.

Connecting ITS Devices

We provide solutions for testing, upgrading, and communicating between NTCIP devices and central systems. Our comprehensive NTCIP expertise helps manufacturers, agencies, and DoTs maintain their ITS systems to better monitor, manage, and control the efficiency and safety of our roads

NTCIP Translator Cards

A family of low-cost solutions for the implementation of field devices that require NTCIP conformant communication. The small size and powerful performance of the DTI controllers make them the perfect engines to control signs, traffic count systems, weather stations, cameras or any custom application where NTCIP communication is required.

DTI 1100

The module is provided with NTCIP communications built in, so the only custom development required is the interfacing of the module to the applicable field sensor or output device. A full-function RS232 connector at one end allows interfacing via modem to a central computer, while the serial port at the other end is connected to the field device. On-board jumper-selectable RS485 provides the flexibility to manage a network of IDI 1100’s on both serial ports.

Features

• Low cost NTCIP implementation
• Small size, powerful performance
• Two serial ports are provided
• Watchdog supervision is standard
• Includes a time clock module
• Battery backup maintains system memory and real-time clock

DTI 1300

Four serial ports are provided (two ports are jumper-selectable to be RS232 or RS485), as well as digital inputs and outputs and analog inputs. The module is provided with NTCIP communications built in, so the only custom development required is the interfacing of the module to the applicable field sensor or output device. An Ethernet port provides a powerful optional connection for high-speed communication, and an on-board temperature sensor is provided as standard.

Features

• Low cost NTCIP implementation
• Small size, powerful performance
• Four serial ports are provided
• Watchdog supervision is standard
• Includes a time clock module
• Battery backup maintains system memory and real-time clock

DTI 1320

Four serial ports are provided (two ports are jumper- selectable to be RS232 or RS485), as well as digital inputs and outputs and analog inputs. The module is provided with NTCIP communications built in, so the only custom development required is the interfacing of the module to the applicable field sensor or output device. An Ethernet port provides a powerful optional connection for high-speed communication, and an on board temperature sensor is provided as standard.

The DTI 1320 incorporates a “flash disk” (8 MB standard) for storage of any logging data or other information. This makes it a perfect choice for applications where on-board data storage is required.

Features

• Low cost NTCIP solution
• Small size, powerful performance
• Four serial ports are provided
• Watchdog supervision is standard
• Includes a time clock module
• Battery backup maintains system memory and real time clock
• Ethernet port included
• 8 MB Flash disk for on board data storage

DTI 1600

The DTI 1600 is a low-cost controller that makes the perfect engine to control signs, traffic count systems, weather stations, cameras or any custom applications where NTCIP communication and a keyboard/LCD interface is required.

Five serial ports are provided (two ports jumper selectable to be RS232 or RS485). An Ethernet port provides a powerful optional connection for high-speed communication. The DTI 1620 incorporates a “flash disk” (16 MB standard) for storage of any graphical data or other information. This makes it a perfect choice for applications where large capacity on-board data storage is required. The powerful parallel processor architecture makes the implementation of custom menus easy.

The NTCIP application runs in the first processor (as an NTCIP server), and the menus run independently in the second (as an NTCIP client). The two processors are connected via a high-speed parallel bus. Custom menus can then be implemented without making ANY changes to the standard NTCIP engine.

Features

• Low-cost solution
• Five serial ports are provided
• Watchdog supervision is standard
• Includes a time clock module
• Battery backup maintains system memory and real-time clock
• Optional Ethernet port
• Optional 16 MB Flash disk for on-board data storage
• On-board temperature sensor standard
• Parallel processor architecture
• Supports digital inputs, digital outputs and analog inputs

DTI 1931

The DTI 1931 brings a new level of performance to the intelligent device family of field device controllers. The controller maintains all the features and small size of the 1321 controller, with the addition of a more powerful processor, more memory, and additional Flash memory options.

Features

• Pin compatible with the IDI 1321 controller.
• New 59 MHz processor
• 1 MB of RAM , 512 kB of battery-backed RAM
• 10/100Base-T Ethernet port w/ RJ-45 connector
• 16 MB of internal Flash memory for data storage
• Removable miniSD card slot, (up to 1 GB)
• Four serial ports, two of which are jumper-selectable for RS-485
• Eight digital inputs, four analog inputs, and four digital outputs

Our translator cards can be installed in almost any NTCIP device to provide complete compatibility. These embedded products are designed to provide turn-key solutions for your existing traffic devices.
