7.4 TMA LOGGING AND ALERTS
MOVA7 provides an extended logging facility to enable traffic managers to monitor the
performance of a MOVA site in detail. The following logs are available for each stream:-
Lane flow
Occupancy
Stage count and length
Pedestrian Level-of-Service
End-sat
Oversaturated Cycles
Suspect Detector History
Normally direct access to these logs would be provided via the MovaComm terminal
program however because of the quad stream capability of the Gemini OTU platform
access has been provided via the OTU web interface. When accessed via the web
interface all data in the logs will be available for viewing or saving on the local browser
machine.
Additionally the logs can be downloaded automatically to an Outstation Support Server
(OSS) if available and the facility is enabled on the OTU. This is an additional feature
not available through MovaComm. Logs will be exported to the OSS at a configurable
interval with only data collected since the last upload being transmitted. A complete
history will be available therefore in consecutively loaded log files.
The logs collect and record data in intervals of 15, 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes, as
configured by the MOVA data set. In total 672 records (one weeks worth at 15 minute
intervals) rounded up to the nearest number of whole days will be recorded.
7.4.1 OSS Access
To enable transmission of log files to the OSS the facility must first be enabled on the
OTU. This is done on the StatusConfig.DSL/Fibre configuration screen. See 6.3.2 for
details. (Note this can also be done on the
StatusConfig.AdvancedConfig.Network.OssInterface screen. See Figure 7.1 TMA Log
Auto-Export Screen.
There are also two time items that can be set to configure TMA log export to the OSS at
suitable times for the installation:-
TMA Log Export Start Time which designates a time and date at which TMA
logging starts. Setting this enables the logging to be programmed to commence
some time in the future. See section 6.6.4 for further details.
TMA Log Export Period which designates the period between successive log
exports after the start time. See section 6.6.4. The minimum period is 15
minutes, values below this will create an error message in the system log and
the previous period will be retained.
