Our staff is highly knowledgeable in ITS and security components and related systems integration. As we typically design, set-up and commission the systems we develop, we have an excellent understanding of the hardware and issues which we apply to our designs. This reduces risk and delay to the client.
From a design standpoint we typically prepare plans, specifications and cost estimates. Drawings and specifications are to a high level of detail and quality in order to reduce change-orders. As we undertake designs for many municipalities, governments, and cities, we understand specific requirements for each client and are able to provide technical support and expert advice. As new evolving technologies and equipment are common in the ITS world, DMD are able to assess, design and implement new technologies and equipment through hands on testing, set-up, commissioning, and manufacturer training.
Our experience from a transportation system standpoint includes vehicle detection systems, CCTV cameras, traffic management systems, changeable, viable and dynamic message signs, security systems, red light cameras systems, Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS), Weigh Scale Systems, Over-height Systems and Transit Signal Priority System (TSPS), Railway Warning Systems, Commercial Vehicle Signal Staging Systems, Vehicle Counting and Classification Systems and Advance Traveler Information Systems. Our expertise pertaining to security systems includes CCTV, Monitoring and Recording Systems, Code Blue Stations, Parking Gate Systems and Security Gate Systems.
Our expertise from a data transmission standpoint includes Ethernet, fiber optics, copper and wireless communications systems, which ranges from steaming video networks to controller data transfer network. With respect to fibre optic data transmission systems we typically specify the 
fibre, duct bank systems, splices, installation, and OTDR testing. From a radio system standpoint we typically undertake a site survey with radio equipment to define specific radio, repeater and booster locations. From a system side we define Ethernet switches and routers along with set-up, testing and commissioning. We have designed communications systems ranging from simple to complex self-healing ring systems for system redundancy.
Our approach to ITS and Security projects is to design a system with the required redundancy and flexibility for future expansion.
We work closely with clients early in the project to establish these key requirements and provide options and budgets. We will often prepare and document specific system operations along with system schematic diagrams which are reviewed and signed off by the client. This is a main key to a successful project.
Upon completion we often provide operator training, operations and maintenance manuals and documentation.
A video of an innovative truck priority system operation at the Canada US Border Crossing is attached. For this project DMD designed and defined system operation and equipment, prepared plans, specification and estimates, developed all software, undertook all set-up, commissioning and testing.
