9 ITEM 7B Staff Report Subject: Status of Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Project and Recommendation Contact: Eric Cowle, Transportation Program Manager Recommendation: Approve top twenty-one (21) prioritized corridors to be included in the Regional Signal Synchronization Program, and the forty-nine (49) un-prioritized corridors to be included in the Regional Signal Synchronization Program. Transportation Technical Advisory Sub-Committee: CONCURS (Meeting of April 24 th ) Background: Project Key Objectives CVAG has embarked on a significant effort to advance the development and implementation of Intelligent Transportation Systems Programs in the Coachella Valley with the initial step being the development of a valley-wide traffic signal interconnect master plan and signal synchronization of new and existing signals on the regional arterial roads. Key objectives of the project include: a) An enhancement to existing and/or new proposed traffic signal systems (communications, operations, etc.) to achieve inter-agency signal coordination. b) Implementation of traffic management systems that can be remotely accessed in realtime for operations and management. c) Implementation of a system that looks beyond the traditional time-of-day operations (e.g. signal malfunction, real-time video, etc.) capturing advanced technologies for ease of operations and maintenance. d) Prepare agencies in the Coachella Valley for upcoming transportation technologies. Project Overview The project consists of nine major elements with a total of thirty-five (35) tasks. These major elements are: 1) Traffic Signal Interconnect (TSI) Master Plan

10 2) Project Environmental Phase 3) Preliminary Engineering 4) System Integrator and Procurement and Design 5) Implementation and Construction Support 6) Traffic Signal Synchronization 7) Operations and Maintenance Support 8) Project Closeout 9) Project Administration, Management, Coordination We are in the process of wrapping up the first element, the Master Plan. The tasks within the Master plan are listed below: 1) Traffic Signal Interconnect (TSI) Master Plan Existing System Inventory and Evaluation Evaluation of Surrounding Systems Assessment of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Opportunities Priority Corridors System Engineering Management Plan (SEMP) Concept of Operations and Strategic Deployment Plan Inter-Agency Communication Needs Systems Requirements Plan Advantec is CVAG s consultant on the Regional Signal Synchronization Program. Since last summer, Advantec has been focused on the first five major tasks related to the TSI Master Plan. The primary effort has been the confirmation/verification of the existing traffic signal and signal communication system infrastructure and upcoming projects by others. Coordinating with each jurisdiction, two Advantec teams have worked their way across the Valley this last summer opening every controller, detailing every signalized intersection and reviewing every set of asbuilt signal plans. By now, all jurisdictions (via TTAS members) have been delivered both electronic and hard copies of the first five tasks of the Master Plan. Many of the jurisdictions have submitted their comments to Advantec. We will discuss these chapters at the May 2017 meeting. Advantec will discuss the Arterial Corridors that are proposed to be included in the first phase of the project. Advantec identified 70 primary corridors and another 42 secondary corridors that could be considered candidates for traffic signal synchronization upgrades. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) projects can be identified as either near-term or long-term. Nearterm projects are those that address critical needs and are technically and institutionally ready for deployment. Utilizing six criteria, Advantec has prioritized the primary and secondary corridors. It is likely that in the first phase of implementation, less than twenty-one will actually be funded. It is critical to establish a consensus on the top 21 corridors so that the environmental and design phases of the project may commence. Next Steps The Advantec team plans to work with the CVAG committees to have the Master Plan approved later this year. With the Master Plan approved, Advantec will move forward with the remaining elements of the project (previously identified) including environmental and preliminary engineering. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2018.
