SIGNET CASE STUDY

Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (RITBA),
Jamestown, Rhode Island

Challenge
When RITBA recently constructed a brand new administration building to renovate their existing building, as well as renovate and upgrade the aging Bridge Toll booth/EZ pass lanes, they contracted SIGNET Electronic Systems, Inc., to design and install a multifaceted security solution.

SIGNET’s scope was turnkey, including the design, furnishing, installation, commissioning, owner training and warranty of the integrated technology systems throughout the new facility, toll lanes and underground passage tunnel. The systems included integrated IP Video Surveillance, Access Control, Audio Visual Systems, Public Address, Intercom, a dedicated IP Network and structured cabling for the building, toll lanes, maintenance garage and tunnel. The client’s requirement for highly detailed images of rapidly moving vehicles, as well as their need to display video on multiple displays simultaneously, presented some of the unique challenges of this project.

Solution
SIGNET successfully deployed a comprehensive security solution. To facilitate color clarity, high intensity LED white light illuminators also were installed externally to assist with nighttime and low-light level surveillance. In response to the client’s need to display video on multiple displays simultaneously, SIGNET installed three large LCD displays, an HD projector with dynamic quad window ability, one interactive whiteboard and a wireless touch panel control system for RITBA’s Emergency Operations Center. The AV systems also included rack-mounted computers to provide live video feeds of local and external systems for display in the Emergency Operations Center.

Other installations which added to the complexity of the project included Access Control on 12 doors, and structured cabling consisting of 100 data work-area outlets, 40,000 feet of Category 6 cabling, and 1,000 feet of 10G optimized fiber optic cabling. The systems were extended to support the client’s renovated maintenance building, as well as their newly constructed employee-passage tunnel crossing underneath the highway. The products deployed on this system were based upon SIGNET’s best-in-class partner manufacturers comprised of Zenitel, Genetec, Hirsch, Crestron, Biamp, JBL, Axis, Dell, HP, Middle Atlantic, Hubbell, and Superior Essex.

To meet the client’s requirements for highly detailed images of rapidly moving vehicles, SIGNET installed over 42 HD video surveillance cameras and high-intensity LED white light illuminators for each lane, allowing RITBA administrators to not only view toll collection booths and vehicle lanes, but also easily identify license plate information any hour of the day
