Item Rating Notes
Geometry Excellent Several Parallel arterials in close proximity of I-210; freeway frontage streets in Pasadena
Jurisdictional Environment
Good Possibility of doing pilot deployment within one or two cities
Freeway Traffic Detection Very Good Sensors on mainline and most ramps.
Arterial Traffic Detection Promising Many intersections already equipped with traffic sensors
Traffic Demand Patterns Very Good Westbound traffic during AM peak; eastbound traffic during PM peak, average % of trucks
Existing Freeway Control Excellent Existing HOV lanes; ramps and freeway interchanges metered
Existing Arterial Control Good Traffic responsive system already in place on some arterials, participation of key cities in IEN.
Existing Transit Services Very Good Metro Gold Line running parallel to I-210, in close proximity
Park-and-ride capabilities
Uncertain Many facilities exhibit high occupancy rates
ICM Opportunities – Peak Hour
Challenging High congestion level on freeway; some arterials with limited extra capacities at some intersections; incident response needs; different traffic pattern on Fridays
ICM Opportunities – Off Peak
Excellent Many large scale events; incident response needs
Area highlights ◦ Access to transit, limited construction, parallel arterials access,
local partnership opportunity, availability of parking facilities, regional attractions, high accident volumes, truck access, etc.
