Public Works Transportation Management Project ST2004
Project Description
This project consists of three components: software, engineering, and equipment that has been developed to improve traffic signal
efficiency, reduce technician response time, and improve level of service through our corridors. The main component of the
project is the central synchronization software that will provide a controller software storage platform and remote communication
with traffic signal equipment. Equipment necessary will include controllers, communication equipment and video detection systems
at some of the intersections. The system will operate using engineer-designed timing plans that are the basis for the traffic signal
coordination. The initial installation locations are planned for Davis and Mid-Cities corridors and will incorporate traffic signals. The
program would be expanded incrementally each year by adding communication equipment and controllers until the entire signal
system is connected.

Project Justification
One of City Council goals is an efficient and effective transportation system. With the technology in place today, Public Works is
only aware of a signal malfunction at one of our 61 signals if it is called in by a resident or if a staff member happens to notice it
during a physical inspection. This project will help address these issues beginning with the Davis / Mid-Cities area. The software has
the ability to communicate with the Service Center and Traffic Technicians alerting them by email or text message of a
malfunctioning traffic signal. In some cases the issue can be addressed remotely, reducing signal malfunction down time and delays
to motorists. The program also has the capability to collect traffic count data, which can be used not only to develop timing plans
based on actual demand (to address traffic flow / congestion concerns), but can also be helpful for Economic Development and
Planning purposes. A phased approach will be taken to increase the number of traffic signals each year by adding communication
equipment and controllers until the entire transportation system is complete. Expanding the program will cost approximately $2,500
per intersection once the initial infrastructure is in place.
