3. BlueTOAD Spectra RSU Deployment

Purpose

The procedures in this chapter tell you what to do to deploy a BlueTOAD Spectra RSU. We assume you are
familiar with the BlueTOAD Spectra RSU, supporting equipment, and the associated software listed below.

Supporting Equipment

• Windows PC and Ethernet Cables
• BlueTOAD Spectra RSU Configuration Utility (Microsoft Windows 10 App)
• WinSCP or equivalent File Transfer Application
• PuTTY or equivalent SSH Client
• TrafficCast BlueTOAD Spectra RSU
• LCOM PoE Injector
• Traffic Controller with Power Cable or Similar ATC Controller5
• 7-Zip Archiving Utility
• Advanced IP Scanner (Optional)
• Work area with adequate GPS reception

Procedures

The procedures that follow tell you how to deploy and test a BlueTOAD Spectra RSU Connected Vehicle
(CV) and Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) data collection and management system.
Note: After notice to proceed is approved, TrafficCast and key collaborative team personnel will
work with your Agency to create a formal deployment, implementation and operations plan
document for your BlueTOAD Spectra RSU system.
FCC License: Each DSRC-based RSU requires an FCC License to operate within a specific
transportation agency jurisdiction. Only transportation agencies or transportation authorities can
apply for and operate a 5.9 GHz DSRC spectrum-based radio broadcast system.
TrafficCast can provide support for your Agency to acquire an FCC Regional License to manage
and operate the DSRC Network. We can also help you apply for required single FCC filings per
RSU and RSU location. The TrafficCast RSU has been accepted by the FCC for deployment in the
past, and we anticipate a successful outcome for your project.
Refer to the table of Compatible Traffic Controllers on Page 1-2.
