COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT NO. C-2-1992 ATTACHMENT A Project travel-time data will be collected using the floating car method, a laptop computer, a GPS receiver unit, and Tru-Traffic v 10.0, only. The report shall address likely optimization strategies for signal synchronization, specifically focusing on how to consider PROJECT optimization: end - to - end vs. coordinated zones. Ideally, the analysis should include the floating car data and data collected as part of Task 2. However draft versions of the report can include previously collected traffic, travel time, or other data, if considered relevant and available. The evaluation report shall provide a very good understanding of traffic patterns on PROJECT throughout the weekdays and throughout the weekend. Tru-Traffic Version 10.0 has the OCTA Corridor Synchronization Performance Index (CSPI) Calculation formulas available for use as well as the calculations for the latest emissions for GHG and other MOEs. These functions shall be utilized by the CONSULTANT in the draft preliminary, draft Final and final reports as specified herein. The CONSULTANT shall perform due diligence with regard to existing and proposed timing operations on arterials that intersect with the PROJECT. CONSULTANT shall prepare a memorandum and present the findings to the Authority outlining the findings of the `Before' field study. The Authority may request a presentation on the traffic patterns on PROJECT Scope and possible synchronization strategies to address the traffic patterns (optimizing the fill corridor versus optimizing segments identified with natural traffic breaks) to provide direction on the preferred signal timing strategy. Any requested presentation shall include as much of the turning movement, 24-hour machine counts, travel time, earlier city counts, etc. as available. CONSULTANT shall finalize the memorandum based on comments received from the Authority Project Manager and other involved AGENCIES and after incorporating the full set of data collected by CONSULTANT as part of Task 2. Deliverables - Task 4: A memorandum documenting the results of the 'Before' study is to be distributed to the APM and AGENCIES as a discussion item. More detailed analysis of project results shall be included in Task 8: Project Report. 1. Electronic versions of all data files and memorandum to all PARTIES and AGENCIES. Task 5: Signal Timing Optimization and Implementation CONSULTANT shall work with the APM and AGENCIES to develop a model of the study area and calibrate the model based on field observations of existing conditions. Signal synchronization optimization shall be conducted in Synchro 8.0. The corridor model must be consistent with all aspects and seamlessly interface and interlace with the County Wide Synchro Network as administered by the GIS/ROADS database. The PROJECT Synchro 8.0 model and shall be easily imported and or exported from that s 2501-25
