An <br />important component of San <br />Leandro’s technology <br />infrastructure is connected <br />traffic signals on its fiber- <br />optic network. This allows <br />for these lights to be <br />controlled with an Advanced <br />Traffic Management System <br />(ATMS), which is located in <br />the Traffic Operations <br />Center (TOC) in the <br />Department of Engineering <br />& Transportation. Currently, <br />45 traffic lights are connected by fiber, some 17 – nearly 27% - not connected (see data <br />table below). <br /> <br /> <br />City of San Leandro - on fiber 45 <br /> <br />City of San Leandro - no fiber 17 <br /> <br />Caltrans 40 <br /> <br />Alameda County 3 <br /> <br />Total 105 <br /> <br />A recent evolution of ATMS technology is called “Adaptive Traffic Control,” which is <br />defined as a system where traffic signal timing is dynamic and changes in real-time, based <br />on actual traffic conditions. These systems have the potential to reduce intersection, <br />arterial, and total system delay, thereby improving traffic flows for the entire community. <br />According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, “real-time management of traffic <br />systems is proven to work, yet these systems have been deployed on less than 1 percent <br />of existing traffic signals.” 24 <br /> <br /> <br />24 https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/innovation/everydaycounts/edc-1/asct.cfm <br />Figure 16.
