2. Consultant shall develop optimized signal timings using the results from Synchro/SimTrafflo 6,0 and recommend any changes to the signal phasing at each signalized Intersection that may improve the efFlciency of operations. Effort shell be made to provide seamless traffic progression with the City of Anaheim traffic signals on the north end of Harbor Blvd Corridor, 3. Consultant shalt prepare, at minimum: a. Three (3) timing pians for a typical weekday which consider the following peak periods: AM Peak, Mid-day Peak, PM Peak b. One (1) toning pian for a typical weekend peak. c. Calculate and provide minimum Pedestrian Crossing Clearance timing based on 3.6 fps walking rate for every signalized intersection in the project. d Calculate and provide minimum bicycle clearance timing based on the current Caltrans bicycle requirements for every signalized intersection in the project. C. Implementation and Flne-Tune 1, Upon approval of the optimized signal timings by the agencies, the consultant shall Implement, or assist staff In the Implementation of now signal timings either through the central traffic signal system or direct implementation at the intersection controller units a. Santa Ana staff will be resporeble for input all data on Its MIST central signal system and necessary activation of the timing synchronization. b. Consultant shall assist other agency staff to Input and setup necessary synchronization parameters on their respective traffic signal system. 2. Once new timing Is implemented, Consultant shall field review the timing and make or suggest filming changes to fine-tune the timing as necessary for each peak, including weekend peak. Santa Ana staff will make necessary changes on Its system; Consultant will assist other agency staff in making changes In their respeotive system, D. Before and After Evaluation Project travel -time data will be collected using the floating car method, a laptop computer, a GPS receiver unit, and the methodologies and software identified below. Before Study Consultant shall conduct a `Before` field study report representative of the times and days for which synchronization plans will be developed. The report shall Identify Measures of Effectiveness (MOL) to evaluate the effects of the synchronization plans. MOE's will likely include traffic flow, travel time, average speed, number of stops per mile, number of intersections traversed on green vs. stopped by red (Greens per Iced) (note: Average Speed, Stops per Mile, and Groans per Red are the new OCTA MOE, Corridor Synchronization Performance Index (CSPI)), fuel consumption reduction, pollution reduction, and other pertinent items. The CONSULTANT shall Include the CSPI as part of the MOEs as they are easily identifiable by lay persons relevant to demonstrating corridor improvements. The Identified MOE's shall be compiled for the corridor using the floating car method and from Synchro 8.0 and from Tru -Traffic Version 1 D.O. At least five (5) runs will be completed In each direction for each of the three weekday timing plans (a.m., mid-day, and p.m.), and at leastfive (6) runs will be completed in each direction during the weekend pian. 2. After Study Consultant shall conduct two (2) "After' field studles, First "After' study is to be completed after the completion of the initial timing Implementation.
