• Abstract:
  Through a coordinated effort among the electrical engineering research team of the Florida State University (FSU) and key Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) personnel, an automated testing system for National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) TS2 Type-1 Actuated Signal Controller (ASC) has been developed and constructed. ; The system developed consists of the following: ; A laptop with proper ports and software, ; A Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) card by Quatech, ; A device for the interface between an ASC and the Quatech card, ; A total of 20 automated testing programs covering all the functionalities of an ASC, ; An executable C# Windows Console application to execute all the automated testing programs: ASCAutoTester.exe, ; A user manual for the automated ASC testing system, and ; A compact disk (CD) containing all program codes and documents of the project
