4000 Series STROBECOM II® Optical Signal Processors
STROBECOM II® Optical Signal Processor (OSP) Cards
An Optical Signal Processor (OSP) receives electrical signals sent by optical preemption emitters to optical preemption detectors. While being received, the signals are processed to determine if the vehicle is a valid emergency or transit vehicle. The OSP is connected directly to the preemption inputs of the traffic controller in the intersection in which it is installed.
When a vehicle’s signal is accepted as valid, the OSP sends a preemption request to the proper input of the traffic controller. The traffic controller then safely manipulates the traffic signals according to a pre-programmed algorithm. Depending on where the traffic controller was in its normal routine the vehicle will receive a “Green Light” after a minimum of 3 or more seconds. Traffic signals which are already green will stay green until the vehicle passes.
WHO HAS PRIORITY OR RIGHT OF WAY?
If multiple vehicles are being received, they are prioritized to determine which vehicle should be given the right of way. If vehicles are of equal priority, right of way is given on a first-come, first-served basis.
Which OSP Series do I need?
- The 4000 Series OSPs work with all uncoded or coded TOMAR 3065 STROBECOM II Emitters and TOMAR 4090 Series Detectors.
- 4140 brings all the features of the 4080 plus adds an Ethernet Port for Traffic Management Center connections, both on and off-site to change settings, review logs, diagnose functionality, and program and receive alerts.
- The OSPOC Series OSPs are the first OSP offered by TOMAR that receives and decodes not only coded and uncoded TOMAR T792HL STROBECOM II Emitters, but also GTT OPTICOM®-brand coded and uncoded emitter signals as well. OSPOC is compatible with Opticom Discriminator* Detectors or TOMAR DETOC Detectors.
- OSPOCV2 brings all the features of the OSPOC8 plus adds an Ethernet Port for Traffic Management Center connections, both on and off-site to change settings, review logs, diagnose functionality, and program and receive alerts.
4000 Series OSP - SETTING THE STANDARD IN EVP/TSP with INTEGRATED CONFIRMATION™
TOMAR's Integrated Confirmation™ (US patent 8,742,946) is an industry first, setting a new standard for reliable visual confirmation to further increase safety, lower response times and streamline installations. A high-output white or blue LED attached to the optical detector receives power via the standard TOMAR M913 EVP detector cable and TOMAR Optical Signal Processor (OSP).
This means no additional cable pulls through congested conduits, use of load switches, or added power supplies are needed to provide confirmation lights & visual feedback. And True Confirmation™ is the only preemption system that provides real, closed-loop visual feedback to vehicle drivers that the intersection is in preemption mode - not just that the vehicle is detected.
OSPSOFT V™ – ADVANCED CONFIGURATION for TOMAR Optical Signal Processors
OSPsoft V™ is TOMAR’s dedicated software for configuring and managing STROBECOM II 4000 and OSPOC series Optical Signal Processors. Built for technicians and traffic engineers, it streamlines preemption setup, diagnostics, and system optimization.
OSPsoft V™ Key Features
- Full OSP Configuration: Set intersection and channel parameters, assign emitter codes, and manage priority subgroups for emergency and transit vehicles.
- Code & Priority Management: Define valid ranges, adjust subgroup actions, and configure priority overrides, including support for TOMAR and Opticom™ emitter formats.
- Integrated Confirmation™ Light Control – Adjust the behavior of detectors with Integrated Confirmation™ (IC) lights. Customize light patterns of Steady, Flash, or Off for Active, Pending, and Idle states to suit operational preferences and visual indicators.
- Real-Time Diagnostics & Logging: Monitor detector health, preemption status, and event history with detailed logs for troubleshooting and system audits.
- Secure Network Integration: Discover, connect, and configure OSP devices via Ethernet with encrypted communication options.
- Scalable Deployment: Clone configurations across multiple OSPs to standardize and streamline system-wide setups.
- Firmware & System Updates: Perform remote updates to maintain peak performance and ensure compatibility across intersections.
Built for Windows and optimized for preemption management, OSPsoft V™ gives full control to technicians and engineers for seamless system operation.
Open API for Custom Traffic System Integration
To support flexible deployment, Tomar offers an API manual that enables third-party developers to integrate TOMAR's OSPs into their own traffic management software. This API provides traffic engineers and system integrators with:
- Direct access to event logs for system monitoring and analysis
- Full maintenance capabilities within existing traffic control platforms
- Streamlined operations without relying solely on TOMAR's OSPsoft V™
By leveraging this open API, traffic system designers and engineers can enhance functionality, improve data accessibility, and ensure seamless operation within their broader intelligent transportation systems.
TRUE 10 YEAR WARRANTY!
10 Year warranty covers all STROBECOM II components. Unlike other manufacturers, TOMAR’s ten year warranty has no fees or charges for warranty repairs after five years.
