2. Consultant shall develop optimized signal timings using the results from <br />Synchro /SimTraffic 8.0 and recommend any changes to the signal phasing at each <br />signalized intersection that may improve the efficiency of operations. Effort shall <br />be made to provide seamless traffic progression with the City of Anaheim traffic <br />signals on the north end of Harbor Blvd Corridor, <br />3. Consultant shall prepare, at minimum; <br />a. Three (3) timing plans for a typical weekday which consider the following <br />peak periods: AM Peak, Mid -day Peak, PM Peak <br />b. One (1) timing plan for a typical weekend peak. <br />c. Calculate and provide minimum Pedestrian Crossing Clearance timing <br />based on 3,5 fps walking rate for every signalized Intersection in the <br />project. <br />d. Calculate and provide minimum bicycle clearance timing based on the <br />current Celtrans bicycle requirements for every signalized intersection In <br />the project. <br />C. Implementation and Fine -Tune <br />1, Upon approval of the optimized signal timings by the agencies, the consultant shall <br />Implement, or assist staff in the Implementation of new signal timings either <br />through the central traffic signal system or direct implementatlon at the Intersection <br />controller units <br />a, Santa Ana staff will be responsible for input all data on its MIST central <br />signal system and necessary activation of the timing synchronization. <br />b. Consultant shall assist other agency staff to input and setup necessary <br />synchronization parameters on their respective traffic signal system, <br />2. Once new timing is Implemented, Consultant shall flold review the timing and make <br />or suggest timing changes to fine-tune the timing as necessary for each peak, <br />including weekend peak. Santa Ana staff will make necessary changes on its <br />system; Consultant will assist other agency staff in making changes In their <br />respective system. <br />D. Before and After Evaluation <br />Project travel -time data will be collected using the floating car method, a laptop computer, <br />a GPS receiver unit, and the methodologies and software identified below. <br />1. Before Study <br />Consultant shall conduct a'Before' field study report representative of the times <br />and days for which synchronization plans will be developed. The report shall <br />identify Measures of Effectiveness (MOE) to evaluate the effects of the <br />synchronization plans. MOE's will likely include traffic flow, travel time, average <br />speed, number of stops per mile, number of intersections traversed on green vs. <br />stopped by red (Greens per Red) (note; Average Speed, Stops per Mlle, and <br />Greens per Red are the new OCTA MOE, Corridor Synchronization Performance <br />Index (CSPf)), fuel consumption reduction, pollution reduction, and other pertinent <br />Items. The CONSULTANT shall include the CSPI as part of the MOE$ as they are <br />easily identifiable by lay persons relevant to demonstrating corridor improvements. <br />The identified MOE's shall be compiled for the corridor using the floating car <br />method and from Synchro a.0 and from Tru- Traffic Version 10,0, At least five (5) <br />runs will be completed In each direction for each of the three weekday timing plans <br />(a.m., mid -day, and p.m.), and at leastfive (5) runs will be completed in each <br />direction during the weekend plan. <br />2. After Study <br />Consultant shall conduct two (2) "After" field studies. <br />+ First "After" study is to be completed after the completion of the Initial timing <br />Implementation. <br />25C -16 <br />
