The goal of the I-880 ICM Project is to relieve congestion and <br />improve safety when an incident occurs on the I-880 Freeway. Intelligent Transportation <br />Systems (ITS) will be employed to better coordinate and integrate traffic signal networks <br />across jurisdictional boundaries. <br />The first ITS improvement is known as the I-880 ICM North Alameda Segment Project, a <br />collaborative effort by MTC, Caltrans District 4, City of Oakland, City of San Leandro, and <br />Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit). The ITS improvements will include <br />upgrades to traffic signal coordination using fiber optic communication, as well as traffic <br />detection devices (sensors and cameras) on arterial streets that will allow City staff to <br />remotely view traffic conditions and adjust signal operations in response to a freeway incident. <br />Analysis <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 6/28/2016
