EXHIBIT 4 <br /> L <br /> D. Traffic Signal Communication <br /> The city currently uses a combination of twisted wire pair(TWP), Fiber Optics(FO), and wireless radios for field <br /> device communications. Most of the traffic signals communication is via the City underground hardwired <br /> interconnect network, and similarly, communication to CCTV cameras is via the City underground fiber-optic <br /> network. Where fiber-optic is not available,wireless or hardwire interconnect is used for CCTV cameras. The City <br /> plans to upgrade all communication to Fiber-optic as funding becomes available. <br /> The City traffic signal network is comprised of`network zones' configured in one or more daisy chain rings. These <br /> daisy chains create an interconnected network of all traffic signal and ITS devices , originating from the TMC,which <br /> provides network redundancy and IP network segmentation. Each zone is supported by a Layer 3 Ethernet switch <br /> providing the network routing for devices on that ring. In addition, each traffic signal is supported with Layer 2 fiber <br /> optic switches enabling a link to the TMC. This traffic signal network provides a high-speed, high-bandwidth, and <br /> secure connection from the TMC to the ITS elements. Furthermore, Santa Ana employs a Network Performance <br /> Monitor(NPM)software for network management and monitoring which allows City staff to quickly and remotely <br /> troubleshoot network and communication issues. <br /> E. Traffic Signal Synchronization <br /> The traffic signals on the designated arterials in the LSSP are inventoried and listed in Table 2 (Traffic <br /> Synchronization Inventory).The table identifies all intersections for each arterial, associated controller type and <br /> firmware, detailed synchronization data such as cycle length of each synchronized period and Intelligent <br /> Transportation Systems (ITS)equipment. Synchronization periods include AM, Mid-day, PM and Weekend. <br /> SANTA ANA LOCAL SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION PLAN I 9 <br />
