Active Projects
There are no active ASC Working Group projects at present.
The ASC WG is currently developing a revision of NTCIP 1202 v02. Draft NTCIP 1202 v03 (the revision). The objectives of this project are:
- Develop the NTCIP 1202 v03 standard assessing issues and integrating lessons learned from current deployments of the NTCIP 1202 standard into a Concept of Operation (ConOps), requirements, and design.
- Use a Systems Engineering Process (SEP) to ensure the completeness and correctness of NTCIP 1202 v03 standard and associated documents, and to ensure traceability and logical consistency.
- Address backward compatibility (multi-version interoperability) issues in NTCIP 1202 v03, as a consideration for systems that conform to NTCIP 1202:2005.
- Accommodate additional user needs, functional requirements, and System Design Description (SDD) related to additional functionalities that may be identified during Concept of Operations (Development), for example, support for a connected vehicle environment.
The project is currently in its final phase, with a Recommended Standard under consideration by AASHTO, ITE, and NEMA. Publication is anticipated in 1Q 2019.

Historical Standards
NTCIP 1202 v02, Object Definitions for Actuated Traffic Signal Controller (ASC) Units – version 02
NTCIP 1202 v02 defines the Actuated Traffic Signal Controller Unit (ASC) objects that are supported by devices that are NTCIP-compliant. The messaging between Transportation Management and ASCs is accomplished by using the NTCIP Application Layer services to convey requests to access or modify values stored in a given device; these values are referred to as objects. NTCIP 1202 v02 defines data elements for use with ASCs, and the data is defined using SNMP object-type format as defined in RFC 1212, in the NTCIP-defined format found in NTCIP 8004. Previously designated as NTCIP 1202:2005. Published November, 2005. Superceded by NTCIP 1202 v03A.
