Traffic Adaptive Benefits 5
Incremental changes based on
“aggressiveness” of settings
Midnight

Adaptive Timings Follow Daily Traffic Variability
Settings set to match objective(i.e. throughput, travel time, delay, stops)

Challenges – know the Objectives• Traffic Issues – what are we trying to address?
– Onset of peak period variability– Inefficient plans to accommodate demand variability– Incident detection/response– Multi-modal mobility
• Performance Based Management – Data Driven– Measurable, rational and defendable
• Operations and Maintenance– Higher reliance on automation > systems

Planning and Preliminary Engineering 7
• Modified Systems Engineering Process– “Best Fit” COTS solution
• 3 Phase Approach– Initial Criteria Screening to identify candidate systems
(top down)– Detailed Needs and Requirements Analysis to identify
selected system(s) (bottoms up)– Bench/Pilot Test – side-by-side verification (kick the
tires)

Pilot Implementation
• Field Survey – existing conditions and improvements– Detection – evaluated different technologies– CCTV coverage– Cabinet upgrades
• Understanding Existing Conditions – Before analysis• Verification Plan – how well did it meet requirements• Validation Plan – independent MoE data collection

Lessons Learned
• Systems Engineering – develop a common understanding• Senior Management Support – County Executive and Council• Engage all stakeholders – own the process, develop champions• Staffing impacts from a change in operations• Uncovered problems with existing infrastructure – detection• Higher maintenance costs• Adaptive = central, controller/firmware, detection, communications• Prioritize deployment – may not be useful everywhere• Technology is not static• Manage Expectations!!
