What is the purpose of the test station being set up by Integral Blue at Plugfest?
The test station is intended to provide installation readiness testing for RSU (Roadside Unit) manufacturers, focusing on ensuring RSUs are ready for deployment.
How does Integral Blue plan to conduct tests at the station?
Integral Blue will conduct tests by ‘unboxing’ RSUs and testing them on the bench as they would during an actual deployment project. This involves checking for physical integrity, assessing configuration interfaces, and testing integration with standard intersection components.
What approach does Integral Blue take towards testing RSUs at the station instead of focusing solely on standards conformity?
Integral Blue’s approach involves testing RSUs as they would during a deployment project rather than focusing solely on standards conformity. They prioritize assessing physical integrity, configuration interfaces, and integration with standard intersection components.
What equipment does Integral Blue bring to perform these tests?
Integral Blue brings a rolling “cart” equipped with a Danlaw RSU, Commsignia OBU, Surface laptop, PoE++ switch, cellular modem, Econolite Cobalt controller, SIEMENS M60 controller, and a Raspberry Pi 4B running V2Xhub.
How does Integral Blue use the cart to test RSUs?
Integral Blue uses the cart to bench-test new RSUs received for installation projects, become familiar with RSUs that are new to the market, and experiment with tools like V2Xhub. Additionally, the RSU and controllers on the cart are loaded with a MAP message and timing plan developed for a specific intersection.
