San Leandro has already deployed this technology throughout its traffic network. In 2014 as part of the Kaiser Permanente project, six intersections near the new hospital were converted to adaptive signaling; in addition, the City is in discussions to convert three more in the same area along Marina Blvd. Beginning in 2018, construction on a "smart corridor" began with AC Transit along Hesperian Blvd, which will include adaptive signaling. As part of its Smart City roadmap, the City envisions eventually converting all traffic signal intersections to use adaptive technology. However, to implement an adaptive system throughout the entire city, San Leandro would need to expand its fiber loop to connect the traffic signal intersections that are currently not on the network. This is shown in the diagram below; these expansion sections are considered part of the overall Fiber Optic Master Plan. Figure .1 . Traffic Data Map The data generated and collected by the ATMS is increasingly of value to the private sector, particularly those companies working on autonomous vehicles. The City recently signed an agreement with Technology Traffic Solutions to share such information. In addition to ATMS data, the City should explore traffic data collection systems on its busiest and most important intersections. These data collection systems can provide precise information on traffic counts, speeds, flow rate, number of turns, etc. Such systems can be installed into the existing traffic network. Looking forward, technology upgrades like this will pave the way for autonomous vehicles, as the cars themselves may one day transmit data directly to traffic signals, without the need for human interaction. Continuing to invest in its traffic infrastructure will enable San Leandro to reap these benefits in the future. 44 1 P age City of San Leandro, CA Fiber Master Plan
