In order to establish an agency -to -agency intertie, a number of alternatives are available that will be further explored as part of the project. This intertie can be accomplished through a high -bandwidth intertie or virtual private networks (VPNs). This task will result in a deliverable that presents an assessment of the existing and planned traffic signal systems for Caltrans and participating neighboring agencies, as well as a recommended approach to establishing communications with these agencies to improve overall traffic operations coordination across jurisdictional boundaries. This includes conducting up to one meeting with each of the noted agencies, if necessary. Needs and Opportunities Assessment Based upon the details of the existing conditions and the evaluation of the surrounding systems, the Iteris Team will prepare a Technical Memorandum that details the needs, opportunities and solutions in support of the Traffic Signal System Master Plan. Needs Identification The Needs Identification will utilize the findingsto conduct an assessment of the City's Traffic Signal/Street Light System needs. The findings from the existing conditionswill detail the existing traffic signal system, communications, and TMC operations, as well as the identified deficiencies along the major corridors, which in turn will support the overall traffic signal system and ITS goals, needs and objectives for the City of Santa Ana. The findings from the evaluation of the surrounding systems will provide the requirements to establish communications with outside agencies. Iteris will then compare System Master Plan goals and objectives with the existing conditions to determine the City's needs. It is envisioned that the needs identification will include, but not be limited to, the following traffic signal system improvement strategies and solutions: 1. Communication System 2. Traffic Signal System 3. TMC 4. Traffic Operations 5. CCTV Camera System 6. System Detection 7. Video Detection Systems 8. Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) 9. Bluetooth Travel Time 10. City Facilities 11. Performance Measurements and Data Analytics 12. Connected Vehicles (DSRC Radios)/Smart City Applications 13. Operations and Maintenance Costs and Requirements 14. Street Lighting System Opportunities and Recommended Solutions Based upon the needs identification, in combination with the existing data collection activities conducted, Iteris will develop a comprehensive analysis of the City's needs, opportunities and recommended solutions as they relate to the traffic signal/street light system, traffic management, ITS and communications, which will be noted herein as Opportunities and Solutions. The Opportunities and Solutions will focus on the identified strategies and solutions, and begin with an assessment of the current systems employed by the City, define requirements and specifications for future systems and deployments, and create combined solutions along with performance measures for the City inclusive of the stakeholders participating in this Project. The strategies identified in the Master Plan will also address industry best practices and assess impacts of maintenance on the City's existing staff to develop overall costs and benefits of the ITS deployments by phase. This task will result in a deliverable that presents the needs, opportunities and recommended solutions to Traffic Management in the City of Santa Ana. It is envisioned that the deliverable will include recommendations on improvements to the City's TMC, traffic signal system and communications network; and recommendations on deployment of CCTV cameras, video detection systems, system detection and interties with Caltrans and other agencies.
