Guidelines for Use of State Equipment and Infrastructure
ITS FIELD EQUIPMENT: Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Cameras; Dynamic Message Signs
(DMS): Radar Vehicle Detection Systems (RVDS)
1. During the normal operating hours of the TMC, operational, access shall generally be limited to
TxDOT, City of Lubbock Traffic Engineering and the City of Lubbock Police Department. This is the
case during peak and non -peak hours. Peak traffic flow is considered to exist regularly during two
periods of the day, Monday through Friday. In general, one period of peak traffic flow exists in the
early morning and the other period of peak traffic flow exists in the late afternoon. Additional periods
of peak traffic flow may exist at other times during the weekday and weekend due to special events
and public gatherings. Precise times of regular and additional anticipated peak periods of traffic flow
shall be the sole determination of TxDOT and may change from time to time.
2. During an incident, operational access shall be extended to emergency service agencies in addition
to TxDOT and the City of Lubbock Traffic Engineering staff. An incident is defined as any condition
in which traffic flow is not normal. As an example, abnormal traffic flow could be caused by debris in
the road, such as a mattress or board, or could be caused by non-recurring congestion, such as on-
lookers to an automobile accident, public gathering, construction, or roadway maintenance. The
duration of the incident shall be considered complete once any TxDOT, City of Lubbock and/or
emergency service personnel and vehicles have departed from the incident scene and traffic flow has
returned to normal.
3. Only TxDOT and the City of Lubbock Traffic Engineering staff shall have operational control of the
DMS system. Verbiage used in posting messages shall be limited to either those in a pre -approved
library or specific to incident control for a given situation or broad general traffic and safety
information, the intent and nature of which is approved by TxDOT. Changes to DMS messages or
settings for any non -transportation related information purpose is forbidden at any time. A single
breach of any of the above guidelines shall be grounds to immediately withdraw the privilege of DMS
control.
4. During the hours in which the TMC is closed, the City of Lubbock Police Department and the
Emergency Operations (TMC) staff will have Pan, Tilt, and Zoom control of the CCTV cameras for
broad general traffic information as it relates to visual detailed information of an incident or other
situations which impact the flow of traffic.
CCN pan, tilt, and zoom for enforcement and any non -transportation related information purpose is
forbidden at any time. A single breach of any of the above guidelines shall be grounds to
immediately withdraw the privilege of pan, tilt, and zoom.
5. Access to ITS field equipment may be withdrawn at anytime by TxDOT without notice if access is
determined to not be in the best interest of TxDOT.
