TrafficCast Quick Start—BlueTOAD Spectra and RSU
Revision 02 May 2019 1-1
1. Introduction
Purpose
This Quick Start gives procedures to deploy TrafficCast BlueTOAD Spectra units. Included are procedures
to confirm Network Connectivity and Data Collection. Chapter 2 explains how to deploy the three different
BlueTOAD Spectra detectors and Chapter 3 explains how to deploy a BlueTOAD Spectra RSU.
Chapter 4 thru Chapter 6 are Appendices.
Features Affect Deployment
The tables below describe the four BlueTOAD Spectra units and give their main features.
BlueTOAD Spectra Unit Function Part Number
Ethernet PoE
Detects and transmits Data for Speed and Travel Time
BT-ETH-SPECTRA-POE
Ethernet Cellular PoE BT-CELL-SPECTRA-POE
Solar Cellular BT-CELL-SPECTRA-85
RSU Ethernet PoE Receives and transmits Detection, CV and SPaT Data BT-SPECTRA-RSU
Features affect deployment of each unit.
Example: Three of the four units are
powered by Power over Ethernet
(PoE) and thus must be connected to a
roadside Traffic Cabinet or equivalent
source for their power and
communications; a Solar Cellular,
however, is stand-alone because it is
powered by Solar and communicates
directly over the Cellular Network.
