INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC SIGNALING & INTERSECTIONS <br />The City of San <br />Leandro owns and <br />operates 62 traffic signals <br />within the City limits. 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 <br />table below). <br />Figure 18, Son I eandro Traffic Signals <br />Figure 17, Benefits of Adaptive Traffic Control <br />by fiber, some 17 — nearly 27% - not connected (see data <br />City of San Leandro - on fiber <br />45 <br />City of San Leandro - no fiber <br />17 <br />Caltrans <br />40 <br />Alameda County <br />3 <br />Teal <br />105 <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 />24 �'tlt.t.;. 1hd1hd1hd.1�'�'tllhda:9.�;�G�t....G��/ II'tll'tl4;�/z:9t.IG�I'tl "fiG�4..A1'tlt.; a:9;fit..fi�'I"fi <br />................1..............//....................................................................................................../............................................................./................................................................................/.............................../................................................ <br />43 1 P <br />City of San Leandro, CA <br />Fiber Master Plan <br />
