<br /> 43 | P a g e <br />City of San Leandro, CA <br />Fiber Master Plan <br />In addition to the benefit of improved traffic, adaptive systems can support public <br />transportation as well as public safety, such as fire trucks and police vehicles responding <br />to an incident by prioritizing these traffic flows at any given moment. <br /> <br />San Leandro has already deployed this technology throughout its traffic network. In 2014 <br />as part of the Kaiser Permanente project, six intersections near the new hospital were <br />converted to adaptive signaling; in addition, the City is in discussions to convert three <br />more in the same area along Marina Blvd. Beginning in 2018, construction on a “smart <br />corridor” began with AC Transit along Hesperian Blvd, which will include adaptive <br />signaling. As part of its Smart City roadmap, the City envisions eventually converting all <br />traffic signal intersections to use adaptive technology. <br /> <br />However, to implement an adaptive system throughout the entire city, San Leandro would <br />need to expand its fiber loop to connect the traffic signal intersections that are currently <br />not on the network. This is shown in the diagram below; these expansion sections are <br />considered part of the overall Fiber Optic Master Plan. <br /> <br />The data generated and <br />collected by the ATMS is <br />increasingly of value to the <br />private sector, particularly <br />those companies working on <br />autonomous vehicles. The <br />City recently signed an <br />agreement with Technology <br />Traffic Solutions to share <br />such information. In addition <br />to ATMS data, the City should <br />explore traffic data collection <br />systems on its busiest and <br />most important intersections. <br />These data collection <br />systems can provide precise <br />information on traffic counts, <br />speeds, flow rate, number of <br />turns, etc. Such systems can <br />be installed into the existing <br />traffic network. <br /> <br />Looking forward, technology upgrades like this will pave the way for autonomous vehicles, <br />as the cars themselves may one day data being transmitted by traffic signals, without the <br />need for human interaction. Continuing to invest in its traffic infrastructure will enable San <br />Leandro to reap these benefits in the future. <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 18. Traffic Data Map
