• Abstract:
  The metal cabinets that house traffic signal
  
  controllers are a common sight at most
  
  intersections in Florida. Traffic engineers use them
  
  to time signal changes and facilitate the flow of
  
  traffic through an intersection. At the core of this
  
  device is the actuated signal controller (ASC),
  
  commonly known as a traffic signal controller,
  
  which takes in a variety of information and adjusts
  
  the timing of traffic signals. Prior to use, traffic
  
  controllers must be tested to verify that they
  
  are working as designed and as programmed.
  
  However, many different companies manufacture
  
  traffic controllers, and testing them requires an
  
  individualized protocol for each manufacturer,
  
  which makes testing them complex and timeconsuming.
  
  Fortunately, standards for traffic
  
  controllers have recently been developed as part
  
  of the National Transportation Communications for
  
  Intelligent Transportation System Protocol (NTCIP)
  
  which allowed the development of a test tool that
  
  could automatically test any traffic controller,
  
  regardless of their proprietary protocol, as long as
  
  the controller conforms to the NTCIP.
