Project Description:
ADVANTEC was commissioned by OCTA to lead a TLSP
project to implement synchronized traffic signal system at 71
intersections along Beach Boulevard with a goal of reducing
travel times and stops, improving average travel speeds, and
reduction in fuel consumption, emissions and accidents.
ADVANTEC's innovative design include leveraging the
existing 12 pair#19 Copper Interconnect cable for connecting
all 71 intersections along Beach Boulevard and transmitting
the data & video to Caltrans District 12 TMC via Ethernet -
over- Copper communications. This is the prototype
implementation of Ethernet - over - copper statewide. At
the inception of this project, ADVANTEC tested the entire
corridor to check for any continuity and conductivity drops
along the I/C cables /conduits, allowing most of the existing
copper infrastructure to be reused, thereby saving over $1
million in costs. We have also designed and implemented
Beach Blvd. TISP
Before Aftw Number of Stops Comparison
as
14 CCTV cameras, GPS modems, replaced the controllers with 2070 and the field masters, and then
synchronizing corridor's traffic signal timing for all peak periods.
ADVANTEC developed new synchronized timing plans and implemented them in the field together with
Caltrans crew. We have also troubleshot problems due to communications protocol and Caltrans firmware
issues and resolved them.
The results of the Traffic Signal Synchronization effort led to significant improvements of 15% reduction in
travel time, 30% reduction in number of stops, and 15% improvement in travel speed on average. The overall
benefit /cost ratio is over 23:1 in the first year alone.
ADVANTEC subsequently served to monitor and finetune the signal timings. for 9 months. Caltrans was very
pleased with the results of the communications system and the signal timings and complimented
ADVANTEC with a letter shown in Appendix A.

program involving 691 intersections across 15 different jurisdictions in the valley of San
Bernardino County. This is the single largest traffic signal synchronization project conducted
in southern California.
Tier 3 and 4 implements traffic signal communications and synchronization along the corridors by
successfully delivering two key elements: a).Design of communications system along the corridors to
facilitate traffic signal synchronization; b). Development, implementation and finetuning of optimum
traffic signal synchronization (TSS) along the corridors
During the design phase, ADVANTEC evaluated the communications infrastructure of the
15jurisdictions, and designed for wireless radio communications at over 250 intersections to allow cost -
effective transmission of data to each of the City's Traffic Signal System. Through our cost - effective
design, the total cost is under $4M, or about $15,000 per intersection. ADVANTEC- is currently working
on the monitoring phase in finetuning synchronized traffic signal timing plans for all 691 intersections, to

Chula Vista Adaptive Traffic Signal Control Project, City of Chula Vista, California
Mr. Lee has also served as Project Manager for Chula Vista Adaptive Traffic Control System project,
which was the first SCATS implementation in southern California successfully integrating 170 controller
operations with SCATS. Evaluated SCOOT, SCATS, SPOT, RT- TRACS, and ATCS for implementation in
Chula Vista. Evaluated the citywide network and selected East H Street and Otay Lakes Road as pilot
corridor for implementation of adaptive signal control. Developed design plans and a set of functional
and performance specifications for implementing the pilot corridor near a community college as the first

Caltrans District 7 Freeway Traffic Operations System 2 (TOS -2)
Project Manager for the first generation Caltrans freeway traffic operations system TOS -2 involving the
design of a traffic operation system for I -405, I -110 (San Pedro), I -110 (Pasadena); SR -170, SR -118, and
SR -101, covering over 115 centerline miles of freeway in Los Angeles. The traffic operations system
included traffic control and surveillance elements, a communication system and all electronics equipment
in the field. The surveillance equipment included provision of CCTV coverage on all high accident sites
along the freeways. An innovative development of a "video van' was used to survey alternative camera
sites without closing lanes and expediting the camera location determination. State -of -the art camera
technology was evaluated to determine the most appropriate equipment specifications, including use of
CODEC to compress video transmission over narrower bandwidth. Traffic operation elements included
design of ramp meters, surveillance detection stations, highway advisory radio, changeable message
signs, and ancillary systems such as irrigation controller, SCADA pump stations, count stations and
smart corridor interconnections. The communication system included a fiber optic SONET network
interconnecting the nodes located at the hubs to the Traffic Management Center (TOC). The SONET
network operates at a data rate of OC -12. At each of the nodes, add -drop multiplexers are configured as
a counter rotating ring. Using a digital access and cross - connect system (DACCS) individual circuits are
extracted and transmitted to the TDM multiplexers at the nodes. From the nodes, multi -mode fiber optic
cables are used to form a local distribution network for the CCTV cameras, and twisted -pair cables form
the local data network. For TOS elements located far from the TOC, data will be transmitted using a
network of VSATs and a leased earth station. Using this network, the field elements are connected to the
VSAT using twisted -pair cables or an alternative medium such as microwave or spread spectrum radio.

Pacific / Long Beach Boulevard Traffic Signal Synchronization Project (TSSP) for the County
of Los Angeles Department of Public Works, Los Angeles, CA
Assisted in the design for traffic signal upgrade designs for 15 intersections along Pacific / Long Beach
Boulevard in the Cities of Lynwood and Compton, as well as Caltrans. The project tasks included data
collection, field inventory, detailed recommendation, upgrading existing traffic signal, signal controller,
controller cabinet equipment, vehicle and pedestrian detection, signal standards; and modifying roadway
signing, striping and pavement markings. Performed quality control of all traffic signal modifications
plans, and signing and striping plans. He also coordinated with the County and the local agencies for plan
processing.

3. Work Plan
3.1 . Project Understanding
The purpose of this project is to establish a functional Traffic Management Center (TMC) at the City of
Seal Beach, providing the necessary traffic signal system field improvements, and to prepare optimized
signal synchronization plans for 13 signalized intersections along Seal Beach Blvd from Bolsa Avenue to
Bradbury Rd. The corridor traverses the City of Seal Beach and Caltrans ramps at I -405 freeway. The
City of Seal Beach desires to upgrade traffic signal hardware and communications infrastructure through
this project, including:
• Relocate and expand the Traffic Management Center from City Yard to City Hall;
• Install Fiber Optic Cable between Bolsa Avenue and City Hall;
• Install Fiber Optic Cable between Golden Rain Road and Lampson Avenue;
• Upgrade traffic signal equipment and communications;
• Install new CCTV units and integrate into City system;
Our ultimate goals in this project are to work hand in hand with the City of Seal Beach to:
• Reduce the travel time and delay with perceptible improvements, to reduce vehicle stops, and also to
reduce vehicle emissions thereby improving the air quality along Seal Beach Blvd corridor; and
• Provide Seal Beach the ability to monitor and observe traffic conditions, and adjust signal timings in
real -time from the Central traffic control center.
To accomplish these goals, ADVANTEC will develop and implement traffic signal timing and coordination
plans for AM, mid -day, PM and weekend peak periods, and assist Seal Beach in constructing all the
necessary hardware and communications equipment to fulfill their needs to the fullest extent possible.
3.2 Existing and Proposed Infrastructure
The Seal Beach Blvd corridor traverses the City of Seal Beach, with freeway ramps at Interstate 405
operated by Caltrans District 12, and terminates at Bradbury Rd, which is shared with City of Los
Alamitos. Table 3.1 shows the traffic control systems that are currently deployed along this corridor.

The City of Seal Beach currently operates McCain's QuicNet Central System to control signals along Seal
Beach Blvd and Westminster Avenue. The communications system along the corridor is composed of a
fiber optics cable (36 strands) separated in two segments. The south fiber optics cable segment extends
/a�y� xna eF9�
{ ADVANTEC
Proposal for Turnkey Traffic Management Center and
Intelligent Transportation Systems Improvements Project No. ST1408
from Bolsa Ave to Golden Rain Rd, and terminates 500 ft south of the freeway ramp signal in a 200 feet
coil inside a #6 pullbox. The north segment extends from Lampson Ave to Bradbury Rd, north of the I -405
freeway. Signal controllers communicate to QuicNet by "Serial over Fiber" Mode. Communications Hubs
are located at Seal Beach Blvd & Westminster Ave, and Seal Beach Blvd & Lampson Ave. The Fiber cable
connects back to TMC, currently located at City Yard, on Adolfo Lopez Drive. The north segment is not
currently connected to the TMC, because of the fiber cable gap between Golden Rain and Lampson. Three
intersections along Westminster Ave. are also connected to the fiber cable along Seal Beach Blvd.
There are two (2) CCTV units along Seal Beach Blvd using fiber optics for video transmission. The CCTV
camera at Golden Rain Rd has been removed. The camera at Westminster is not operational. Camera
control interface equipment is still present inside controller cabinet.
The existing infrastructure is depicted in Figure 1. As part of this project, the City of Seal Beach wants
to transfer the TMC from City Yard to City Hall, and establish a communications path between all Seal
Beach Blvd signals and City Hall. The City also desires to upgrade field infrastructure such as controller
communications and Video monitoring.
Proposed Infrastucture
ADVANTEC has performed extensive field work to evaluate the existing infrastructure, reviewed the
desired improvements as described in the City's Project P application to OCTA, and recommend the
following improvements as part of this project, which is shown graphically in Figure 2:-
1. Installation of fiber optic network to provide communications from the new TMC in the City Hall
to all intersections, including the following segment by segment detail recommendations: -
a. From Golden Rain to Lampson - fiber optic cables exist from Golden Rain to the SB off -
ramp at 1 -405. We recommend removing this cable since its condition is unknown, and
pull new fiber optic cables along this segment;
b. From Bolsa to City Hall - after evaluating the various alternatives, including aerial fiber,
wireless, and utilizing existing conduits, and we recommend installing new conduits and
fiber along Bolsa Ave from Seal Beach Blvd to Main St. and along Main St. from Bolsa
Ave to the south side of PCH, connecting to the existing street light conduit. Another
conduit segment will be installed along Central Ave from Main St to 8th St and into the
City Hall.
2. Replace all 12 signal controllers to latest Type 2070 with Ethernet communications (module 1B)
and converting all serial communications to Ethernet.
3. A new server for QuicNet Pro will be installed to replace the existing old server, and install a
multi -port Gigabit switch, Fiber Termination Unit in the server room of the TMC.
4. Install 3 HD CCTV cameras with Ethernet IP communications, and connect a pair of fiber strands
to Caltrans CCTV system through the hub at the I -405 ramp such that the City can access the
Caltrans cameras on I -405 freeway also. We have performed this task for other cities, such as
Costa Mesa recently.
5. Install fiber optic cables into Police Department Building and add Ethernet transceivers at City
Yard and PD.
6. Build TMC in existing room at City Hall with 4x50" display (with ultra thin bezel), 2
workstations, and all pertinent architectural and equipment upgrades.
The following sections describe each of the above recommendations in detail.

Fiber Optics Connections
To establish Fiber Optics connection between signals along Seal Beach Blvd and the TMC at City Hall,
two missing segments will have to be constructed: 1 - Golden Rain Rd to Lampson Ave., and 2 - City Hall
to Seal Beach Blvd & Bolsa Ave.
1 - Golden Rain Rd to Lampson Ave: ADVANTEC conducted a field review of this segment and
discovered that there is a conduit and fiber cable that runs along the east side of Seal Beach Blvd, from
Golden Rain Rd towards the southbound off -ramp at I -405. The fiber cable ends 500 ft short of the
freeway off -ramp, coiled inside a #6 pullbox. We estimated the coil length to be 200 ft. A pull -rope was
observed inside the conduit heading towards the freeway off -ramp. Unfortunately, the remaining pull -
boxes were buried under the dirt, and the exact location of last pull -box could not be verified. North of
the freeway overpass, a conduit was found between Lampson Ave and the northbound off -ramp.
For the segment between Golden Rain and Lampson, ADVANTEC recommends removing existing coiled
cable, and installing the necessary conduits and pullboxes to complete the connection to Caltrans ramps.
New Fiber Optics cable will be installed in existing and new conduits, as well as conduits provided by
Caltrans in the bridge structure. Fiber will be terminated at the controller cabinet at Golden Rain Rd and
at the Communication Hub at Lampson Ave.
ADVANTEC recommends the removal of existing fiber because its condition is unknown and it is too
short to reach the next cabinet. Keeping the cable would require additional fiber splicing, which could
degrade communications levels.
2 - Bolsa Ave to City Hall: ADVANTEC studied various alternative paths between the intersection of
Seal Beach Blvd & Bolsa Ave and the City Hall building. A field review of possible paths revealed a
number of alternatives:
Aerial - Bolsa Ave has a number of utility poles that connect Seal Beach Blvd to Main St.
Buried - The shortest path can be achieved by utilizing Bolsa Ave, Main St, and Central Ave.
Existing conduits - Two possible conduits exist in the area between City Hall and Seal Beach Blvd:
Caltrans signal conduits along Pacific Coast Highway; and street lighting conduits (just completed in
December 2013) along Main St, between PCH and Central Ave.
Wireless - Possible line of sight between City Hall clock tower and signal poles.
Recommendation: For the segment between the intersection of Seal Beach & Bolsa Ave and City Hall,
ADVANTEC will install conduit along Bolsa Ave from Seal Beach Blvd to Main St, and along Main St
from Bolsa Ave to the south side of PCH, connecting to existing street lighting conduit. Another conduit
segment will be installed along Central Ave, from Main St to 8th St, and into the City Hall building.
The aerial alternative was discarded because it requires the use of third party property and possible fees.
The use of wireless was also eliminated because of possible interruptions by weather conditions.
ADVANTEC believes that the City Hall to Bolsa Ave segment is the most important link in the
communications network, and wants to guarantee its integrity by providing an underground installation.
Controller communications
Type 2070 controllers using serial communications are currently deployed along Seal Beach Blvd and
Westminster Ave. Controllers are then connected to "Serial to Fiber" converters, which transmit back to
TMC using dedicated fibers. This communication scheme is antiquated and does not allow the use of
( ; ADVANTEC
Proposal for Turnkey Traffic Management Center and
Intelligent Transportation Systems Improvements Project No. ST1408
more updated Ethernet protocols. Seal Beach Blvd fiber constitutes the communications backbone and
should allow multiple ITS resources to communicate back to the TMC.
Recommendation: ADVANTEC will replace all 12 signal controllers along Seal Beach Blvd to the latest
Type 2070 equipment, with Ethernet communications (module 113). The three (3) controllers on
Westminster Ave will receive new module 113 cards, to be able to communicate via Ethernet. Cabinets on
Seal Beach Blvd (12) and on Westminster Ave (3) will receive Ethernet Fiber switches and Fiber Cable
will be re- terminated to allow new communication scheme. The old Type 2070 controllers that were
removed from Seal Beach Blvd can be used to replace other controller types throughout the City, allowing
for one controller standard.
TMC communications
Existing communications at City Yard TMC consist of Fiber modems that connect to four signals each.
The modems are then connected to the QuicNet Central System server.
Recommendation: ADVANTEC will install a multi -port Gigabit switch, Fiber Termination Unit and re
terminate new fiber cable at City Hall server room, located on the third floor, above the elevator shaft. A
new server for the QuicNet system will also be installed.
Traffic Monitoring /CCTV cameras
ADVANTEC identified two locations that currently have video camera equipment: Westminster Ave and
Golden Rain Rd. At Westminster Ave, the camera is inoperable, and the camera control interface is still
present in the cabinet. At Golden Rain, the camera has been removed, but the camera control is present.
Recommendation: ADVANTEC will install three new high definition CCTV cameras, capable of
IP /Ethernet communication. The suggested locations are: Westminster Ave, Golden Rain Rd, and Towne
Center Dr. These cameras will share the Ethernet switches installed in the cabinets for the controller
communication. Additional CCTV camera images, such as Caltrans cameras on the I -405
freeway, can be brought back to TMC, by connecting a pair of fiber strands to Caltrans hub at
the I -405 ramp. We have performed this task for other cities, such as Costa Mesa recently.
Fiber Access to other City facilities
The City of Seal Beach has expressed interest in maintaining a fiber connection to the City Yard, and to
establish a new connection to the Police Department Building (PD). Currently, a fiber cable connects the
TMC at the City Yard building to the controller cabinet at Adolfo Lopez Drive
Recommendation: ADVANTEC will install Fiber Optic cable into the Police Department Building and
Ethernet transceivers at both City Yard and PD.
Existing Transportation Management Center (TMC)
The existing TMC equipment is located at an office in the City Yard main building. It consists of a full
size computer rack containing Fiber Optics terminations, Fiber Modems, Computer monitor, keyboard,
and camera /video control unit, computer; and a large display monitor attached to the wall.
_ J ; 51 Ai (�F4c
{. ADVANTEC
Proposal for Turnkey Traffic Management Center and
Intelligent Transportation Systems Improvements Project No. ST1408
Recommendation: ADVANTEC will remove all equipment from office, and walls will be patched to
cover previous installation points. Fiber cable will be removed from room and re- directed to-
network/communications closet, where it will be re- terminated and connected to Ethernet transceivers.
New Transportation Management Center
The City has identified a room located on the second floor of City Hall as the future location of the TMC.
The room is currently used by the City's cable TV channel production. The room is approximately 10'x9'
in size, with access through a door that opens outwards, into the hallway. The room has two small
windows, recessed lighting and track lighting. There are no overhead air conditioning vents, and ceiling
tiles are missing, or removed. The City has requested the installation of workstations for two people, and
a Video Display of four (4) 50" monitors.
ADVANTEC has brought on board a profession architectural firm with TMC experience, Archetype
International, which will analyze the work and equipment requirements of the room and design a
layout /environment that maximizes the use of the space and still provides a pleasant work experience.
Colors, materials and lighting will be selected to.provide the right environment.
ADVANTEC has also brought on the team a specialty provider firm of Audio/Video solutions, CompView,
to design and install the Video Display system. ADVANTEC performed a review of the room dimensions
and the ergonomic requirements of a TMC work environment, and concluded that the placement of four
monitors in a 2 by 2 matrix, may lead to physical straining, due to close proximity to video wall and
viewing angles.
Archetype and CompView have worked together before recently to design and implement the TMC at the
City of Garden Grove.
The following sketches give a perspective of the room and equipment dimensions.
Recommendation: ADVANTEC will design the TMC room with the assistance of Archetype and
CompView. We will provide a Video System solution that satisfy the City's requirements and fit the room

dimensions. Monitors will be 50 -inch with Ultra -thin bezel. Video processing equipment will be housed
in a half - height rack, and all cables will be hidden from view. A dedicated computer will be provided to
run CCTV software and QuicNet System Map. Two workstations will be provided, including computers
and dual monitors. The room will be carpeted and painted in a color scheme that enhances the work
environment. Lighting and Air Conditioning will be dimensioned for the room size and use. Speakers and
Cable TV will be installed. Lighting, sound, and equipment centralized control will be provided.
3.3 Corridor Characteristics & Technical Considerations
Seal Beach Blvd is a North - South, 2 to 3 lane corridor that extends approximately 4 miles, from Bradbury
Road on the north end of Seal Beach, to Bolsa Ave /Anchor Way at the south. The corridor serves a mix of
land uses: residential, commercial, offices, parks, schools and the Seal Beach Naval Base.
Seal Beach Blvd carries average daily traffic volumes of over 20,000 vehicles in all segments, reaching
25,000 near Bolsa Ave, and exceeding 40,000 from I -405 Ramps to the north city limit. Morning traffic
flows evenly on both directions, with traffic being the heaviest near the I -405 Ramps due to construction.
The area near the I -405 freeway ramps has a substantial amount of traffic, with heavy north and south
movement, as everyone is trying to get onto the I -405 freeway. In the PM peak near the shopping center
traffic spills out on some of the left turn pockets blocking through lanes. The intersection of Rossmoor
Center & Seal Beach Blvd is an intersection experiencing issue with the left turn pocket blocking through
lanes as the capacity of that lane cannot meet the demand.
Seal Beach Blvd is the main road in the city of Seal Beach as it connects the I -405 and CA -22 through the
whole city as the corridor extends from the south city limit to the north city limit. The section north of the
I -405 experiences huge fluctuation in traffic due to variation of people coming to the shopping center. The
corridor is the main access road for the whole city as it School related pedestrian and vehicular traffic can
be observed near the intersection of Bolsa Ave. During the AM peak Bolsa Ave & Seal Beach Blvd does
experience a heavy EB movement as parents are dropping of their children to go to school.
To help Seal Beach evaluate the current traffic operations along this corridor, we have conducted travel
time runs in each direction during the AM and PM peak periods on 12/11/2013 & 12/12/2013, using a GPS
unit and Tru- Traffic software to record travel times, delays, average speed, stops, etc. Table 3.2 shows the
results in terms of Corridor Synchronization Performance Index (CSPI) for this corridor.

From Table 3.2, it can be seen that Seal Beach Blvd currently operates at the CSPI level "II "or better
during morning peak, and level "IV" and "V" for afternoon peak. If ADVANTEC is awarded this project,
we will conduct the official `before' study by performing at least 5 floating car runs in each direction.
We are confident that, upon implementation and fine- tuning of improved signal timings, the
CSPI along this corridor will be improved to levels "I" and "II" in both directions and all time
periods, as demonstrated by all our other TSS /TLSP projects (see Table 1.2).
Based on our observations of the corridor, the following are some technical considerations and resolutions
that will lead to success of this project:
Freeway interchange influence:—Seal Beach Blvd. provides access to I -405 freeway. Special
consideration should be given to areas close to freeway to avoid congestion that would block the arterial
through lanes or back -up onto the freeway. The heavy directional flow during the peak hours can cause
excessive queuing at the on -or off -the freeway ramps resulting in backup on the surface street. For these
segments, ADVANTEC will use SimTraffic micro - simulation to analyze and ensure smooth
synchronization in both directions, and to simulate the impact of ramp metering operations on queue
spillback.
Pedestrian Activity: Pedestrian traffic is an important factor near commercial sites, such as the The
Shops at Rossmor /Old Ranch Town Center located between St.Cloud Dr. and Rossmor Center Way.
Overall, in the development of signal coordination, we have. to manage the competing interests of
providing continuous flow of traffic on the main street, providing adequate time for pedestrians to cross
the street, and minimizing the wait time for side street traffic. ADVANTEC will analyze pedestrian
counts at these intersections, and our timing plans will ensure that the pedestrian splits (walk + flashing
don't walk time) are completely covered within the vehicle splits time so that coordination can still be
maintained along the corridor.
ADVANTEC has performed analysis of the impact of new 3.5 ft /sec pedestrian crossing speed for various
traffic signals. Assuming a crossing distance calculated from curb to curb, the new pedestrian crossing
speed can increase the pedestrian clearance times by up to 10 seconds. When combined with the
minimum bike timing requirements, it results in minimum cycle lengths of 130 seconds. To
minimize the impact of pedestrian timing in the signal coordination timing, ADVANTEC will conduct a
survey at three intersections and determine if a crossing speed between 3.5 ft /sec and 4.0 ft /sec better
reflects the prevalent walking speeds.
Need for Special Plans and Traffic Responsive Operations: — Land uses that can cause off -peak
traffic surges include schools, churches, and shopping centers. This results in inadequate amounts of
green time for side streets during these periods and associated cycle failures. ADVANTEC has developed
and successfully implemented special timing plans pinpointing the effects of traffic surge associated with
special events, e.g. Knott's Berry Farm's Halloween period as part of the OCTA TLSP Beach Boulevard
project, and OC Fair signal timing for Fairview Road Project P. ADVANTEC will evaluate the use of
Traffic Responsive Operations for traffic signals adjacent to these special ,land uses. Traffic Responsive
can better manage sudden peaks in traffic caused by incidents or special events.
Green -house gases (GHG) Emissions Calculation —GHG emissions has become a major concern of
our society, and in particular to OCTA. In this project, ADVANTEC will provide an analysis of the impact
of the optimized signal timing on GHG emissions. ADVANTEC has recently conducted a GHG emission
analysis comparing synchronization of Beach Blvd with and without the newly adopted bicycle minimum
{ (: ADVANTEC
Proposal for Turnkey Traffic Management Center and
Intelligent Transportation Systems Improvements Project No. ST1408
times, which showed an increase of 40,000 lbs of emission per year when the bicycle clearance timing is
used.
3.4 , Scope of Work
The following scope of work expands upon the tasks outlined in the Request for Proposal (RFP).
Task 1 — Project Management
ADVANTEC will prepare a detailed project schedule that provides specific project milestones for review
and approval by the City of Seal Beach. We will conduct a Project Kick -Off Meeting with City staff and
Caltrans, as well as monthly progress meetings with the all stakeholders to keep them apprised of the
project's progress and to address key issues. ADVANTEC will prepare monthly progress reports, and our
PM and/or Project Director will attend and be an active .participant at Seal Beach led meetings,
committee meetings, or other inter - governmental meetings. ADVANTEC will provide one full version
license of Synchro software to the City.
Task 2 - Data Collection
ADVANTEC will obtain the following information from the City of Seal Beach:- Existing timing sheets,
including coordination plans; As -built drawings; Aerial photos and maps; Accident data and collision
diagrams (if available); All planned or programmed roadway improvements; Signal timing and priority
parameters, including pedestrian and bicycle timing, leading and lagging left -turn phasing, and
conditional service, as well as the timing optimization software preference; Identification of critical
intersections and intersections with heavy pedestrian crossings; Intersections where weekend counts may
be needed.
For development of signal timing, ADVANTEC will gather pertinent field data, such as: Roadway
geometry and lane configurations; Existing signal phasing and timing at all signalized intersection;
Distance between intersections; Speed limits; Major sources /sinks of traffic generators.
At the beginning of the project, we will research local school districts and colleges to identify all schools
near the subject corridor, and schedule all traffic counts to be conducted that covers the `school start' and
school end' periods.
Upon acceptance of the count schedule, ADVANTEC will use
Pacific Traffic Data Services (PTDS) to obtain 7 days of 24 -hour
ADT traffic count data. Based on the ADT counts, ADVANTEC
will recommend the best time periods for collecting turning
movement count data for each peak and off peak periods. The
Saturday and Sunday counts will be used to determine the need
for weekend turning movement counts (TMC) and timing plans.
Upon approval of the ADT count data, ADVANTEC will engage
PTDS again to obtain turning movement counts for A.M., mid -day,
P.M., (and off - peakand /or weekend peak periods, if necessary),
including pedestrian and bicycles counts.
ADVANTEC will work in collaboration with the City of Anaheim to identify intersections with high
pedestrian and /or bike traffic. Two representative locations will be selected for a video based
pedestrian and bicycle. A statistical analysis will be performed on the video recordings, which will
determine pedestrian and bicycle crossing times. Data sets will be created for AM, Midday and PM
C, $EA(

peak.Raw footage will be provided to City and OCTA for special study on bicycle and pedestrian crossing
times.
At locations close to schools, ADVANTEC will conduct turning movement counts that include the school -
begin and school -end time periods. These "peak- within - the - peak" school hours will be used to evaluate the
need for special school timing plans..
For weekend turning movement counts, ADVANTEC will collect 4 -hour counts during Midday peak, for
Saturday. Resulting count data (in 15- minute intervals) will be provided in MS Excel format and will be
used as input to our SYNCHRO model and to perform a level of service (LOS) analysis and timing
optimization for each of the signalized intersections.
Task 3 — Field Review
ADVANTEC will conduct a thorough field review of the existing
traffic signal equipment and traffic operations along the whole
corridor, and prepare a Report summarizing the existing traffic
signal inventories. Diagrams and tables will be developed to
show the existing intersection geometry and traffic signal
control equipment of each intersection. During the field
review /inventory process, ADVANTEC will:
• Open each controller cabinet and take digital photos of
all equipment inside (with permission from local
agency);
• Note any deficiencies of traffic control equipment at
each intersection;
• Evaluate the current efficiency of the traffic signal
operations;
• Identify minor geometric improvements that may
improve the traffic operations;
• Note the maintenance condition of the traffic signal equipment, conduits, and controllers;
• Review factors that may impact the traffic signal operation at intersections, such as parking
prohibitions, right- turn -on -red prohibitions, and unusual traffic generating conditions;
ADVANTEC will identify any deficiencies of the existing traffic signal control equipment and geometric
layout, and provide recommendations towards simple, low -cost transportation system management (TSM)
that may be implemented to correct such deficiencies, with a view of assisting the traffic operations along
this corridor. These recommendations will be presented in the Field Review Report.
Besides conducting field review of existing conditions, ADVANTEC will also identify any planned or
programmed improvements (e.g. street widening, intersection improvements, etc.), within each
jurisdiction, and provide a list of projects with brief descriptions in the Field Review Report.

Task 4 — Corridor Before' Study
ADVANTEC will conduct a `Before' field travel time study using a "floating car" survey. The survey
utilizes Tru- Traffic(v.10) software that connects a GPS receiver to a laptop computer. The GPS receiver
outputs data every second. The software then uses the GPS coordinates to track the speed and distance of
the surveying vehicle.
Five floating car runs in each direction along the entire corridor will be performed during the AM,
midday, PM and weekend peak periods. We will ensure that weekday's peak periods floating car runs are
conducted on `typical' weekdays away from any holidays, long weekends or school holidays.
Results of the survey will be used to evaluate travel time, delay, and number of stops (measures of
effectiveness), and to identify optimization strategies for signal synchronization (e.g. entire corridor end -
to -end vs zone -by -zone optimization). ADVANTEC will summarize in a report the traffic patterns of the
corridor, our proposed optimization strategy, and all information collected as part of Task 3 — Field
Review. ADVANTEC will prepare a memorandum that documents the results of the "Before Study" and
the MOEs.
A video recording of a typical "Before" floating car run will be performed for each time period being
analyzed. ADVANTEC will provide a copy of Tru - Traffic version 10 (or newer) to the City.
Task 5 — Signal Timing Optimization and Implementation
Using SYNCHRO, the following parameters will be used to develop a model of the network:
• Existing geometry of network, including distance between intersections, number of lanes and positive
or negative grade percentages for each approach at each intersection, turn prohibitions, etc.
• AM, Mid -day, PM, and weekend peak turning movements at every intersection;
• Existing phasing at each intersection, including any special treatment such as lead -lag phasing;
• Existing green splits, offsets, and cycle lengths;
• Synchro node numbering will comply with OCTA's ROADS database.
ADVANTEC believes that Caltrans ramps are an important element of the Seal Beach Blvd
corridor, and will include, as a value -added item, the two off -ramp signals at the I -405 as part
of this study.
After the existing conditions model is set up and approved by all agencies involved, ADVANTEC will
optimize the signal timings parameters, such as cycle lengths, splits, offsets. Special attention will be
given to intersections that operate at poor levels of service (LOS D or worse) to identify possible
improvements. Special techniques may be adopted such as:
• Lead -lead versus lead -lag phasing
• Half -cycle or other realistic harmonic cycle lengths for lightly traveled intersections, or double
cycle lengths for heavily traveled intersections
• System breaks with different cycle lengths
• Re- service phases with high demand
• Modify phase sequences or use of overlap phases to improve operational efficiency
• Saturation flow rates will be measured during the peak hour at intersections where the v/c
exceeds 0.8.

Once developed, the SYNCHRO model results and database will be provided to the City of Seal Beach for
review. Upon review of the optimized signal timing, a meeting will be conducted to discuss any comments.
We will incorporate such comments into the signal timing plans, and resubmit to the City.
Upon final approval of the optimized signal timing parameters,
ADVANTEC will prepare signal timing plans in the local cities' and
Caltrans' format. These timing sheets or plans will be forwarded to
the respective agencies for approval. Upon receipt of any necessary
corrections, the final timing sheet or plans will be prepared and
delivered to each respective agency. They will bear the stamp and
signature of our Project Manager, a Registered Professional Traffic
Engineer. The formats of the signal timing sheets for the different
agencies are:
• City of Seal Beach — BiTran 2033 format
• Caltrans — TSCP firmware format for Model 2070 controllers
ADVANTEC will implement the new signal timings at Central or in the field, as necessary. In addition,
ADVANTEC will thoroughly check the results of the timing plans in the field during implementation to
ensure that the signals are operating properly, and as intended, and ADVANTEC will provide extensive
field monitoring and fine- tuning of the signal timing.
It is our understanding that Caltrans' staff will implement the new timings. ADVANTEC will prepare all
the final timing sheets in the approved TSCP firmware format for Caltrans to implement.
ADVANTEC will evaluate the current time - referencing of all traffic signal controllers and recommend a
corridor -wide strategy (such as WWV or GPS receivers) to ensure that all traffic signal controllers are on
synchronized time clocks. Upon approval by City and Caltrans, ADVANTEC will purchase and install or
assist local agency staff, in installing any devices that are part of the time - referencing strategy. This may
include devices installed at the agency traffic management center or at traffic signal controllers.
ADVANTEC will prepare a memorandum detailing the signal timing optimization and implementation,
including detail on the time - referencing system.
Task 6 — Corridor `After' Study
Upon completion of the signal timing implementation and fine- tuning, ADVANTEC will perform "After
Studies" to obtain data for verifying the "measures of effectiveness ". Similar to the "Before Studies ",
ADVANTEC will perform five (5) floating car in each direction and representative of the times and days
for which synchronization plans were developed.
Tables and charts in Microsoft Excel format will be used to analyze and compare the MOEs of the before'
and `after' studies, with a column showing the percentage of improvements for each parameter. This will
serve as a basis for evaluating the benefits of the improved signal timings.
An estimate of the `benefits' of the signal timing optimization and synchronization results will be
conducted using some of the MOE parameters such as total delay, travel time, fuel usage, pollutant
emission, etc. These benefits will be quantified and, wherever possible, converted to monetary terms in
order to arrive at an average annual monetary savings to the travelers of the corridor. These results will

Intelligent Transportation Systems Improvements Project No. ST1408
be summarized in a Technical Memorandum. ADVANTEC's project manager and or project director will
present the findings of the `Before' and `After' studies to City Council and Committees.
ADVANTEC will provide a synchronized video with the `before' and `after' travel time runs to augment
the study, and will use the video for presentation to Cities' officials. The synchronized video is taken
inside the car during the `Before' and `After Runs', and is played concurrently with an animation on the
time -space diagram that represents the position of the car. This will facilitate ease of understanding of
the time -space diagram by elected officials and lay- persons.
Task 7 — TMC and ITS Improvements
As part of Seal Beach Blvd Application for Project P funds, the City of Seal Beach requested a number of
hardware improvements to be performed along the corridor. The following are our scope for the design t
and installation of all TMC and field elements for this project:
ADVANTEC will perform an evaluation of the traffic signal hardware as part of Task 3 - Field Review,
and confirm the adequacy of the requested hardware improvements, prior to ordering the equipment.
SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR TMC and ITS IMPROVEMENT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
Design
ADVANTEC will perform the design of any necessary elements, and design of plans for installation of all
hardware upgrades, such as signal controllers, Communication devices, Fiber - Optic, and CCTV cameras.
ADVANTEC will also supervise the installation of all equipment. Calvin Hansen, our Senior Technician,
is well versed in all of these hardware installations, he may even install controllers and Ethernet
switches himself.
ADVANTEC will prepare traffic control plans, as necessary, to accommodate the installation of signal
hardware upgrade. ADVANTEC will also advise the City on how to maintain traffic flow during
equipment installation.
ADVANTEC will perform an evaluation of the traffic signal hardware as part of Task 3 - Field Review,
and confirm the adequacy of the requested hardware improvements, prior to ordering the equipment.
Fiber Optics Connections
1 - Golden Rain Rd to Lampson Ave:
ADVANTEC will remove existing coiled cable, and add the necessary conduits and pullboxes to complete
the connection to Caltrans ramps. New Fiber Optics cable will be installed in existing and new conduits,
as well as conduits provided by Caltrans in the bridge structure. Fiber will be terminated at the controller
cabinet at Golden Rain Rd and at the Communication Hub at Lampson Ave.
ADVANTEC recommends the removal of existing fiber because its condition is unknown and it is too
short to reach the next cabinet. Keeping the cable would require additional fiber splicing, which could
degrade communications levels.
2 - Bolsa Ave to City Hall:
For the segment between the intersection of Seal Beach & Bolsa Ave and City Hall, ADVANTEC will
install conduit along Bolsa Ave from Seal Beach Blvd to Main St, and along Main St from Bolsa Ave to
ADVANTEC
�FFORMP .

Intelligent Transportation Systems Improvements Project No. ST1408
the south side of PCH, connecting to existing street lighting conduit. Another conduit segment will be
installed along Central Ave, from Main St to 8th St, and into the City Hall building.
The aerial alternative was discarded because it requires the use of third party property and possible fees.
The use of wireless was also eliminated because of possible interruptions by weather conditions.
ADVANTEC believes that the City Hall to Bolsa Ave segment is the most important link in the
communications network, and wants to guarantee its integrity by providing an underground installation.
Controller communications
ADVANTEC will replace all 12 signal controllers along Seal Beach Blvd to the latest Type 2070
equipment, with Ethernet communications (module 1B). The three (3) controllers on Westminster Ave
will receive new module 1B cards, to be able to communicate via Ethernet. Cabinets on Seal Beach Blvd
(12) -and on Westminster Ave (3) will receive Ethernet Fiber switches and Fiber Cable will be re-
terminated to allow new communication scheme. The old Type 2070 controllers that were removed
from Seal Beach Blvd can be used to replace other controller types throughout the City,
allowing for one controller standard.
TMC communications
ADVANTEC will install a multi -port Gigabit switch, Fiber Termination Unit and re terminate new fiber
cable at City Hall server room, located on the third floor, above the elevator shaft. A new server for the
QuicNet system will also be installed.
Traffic Monitoring /CCTV cameras
ADVANTEC will install three new high definition CCTV cameras, capable of IP/Ethernet communication.
The suggested locations are: Westminster Ave, Golden Rain Rd, and Towne Center Dr. These cameras
will share the Ethernet switches installed in the cabinets for the controller communication. Additional
CCTV camera images, such as Caltrans cameras on the I -405 freeway, can be brought back to
TMC, by connecting a pair of fiber strands to Caltrans system.
Fiber Access to other City facilities
ADVANTEC will install Fiber Optic cable into the Police Department Building and Ethernet transceivers
at both City Yard and PD.
Existing Transportation Management Center (TMC)
ADVANTEC will remove all equipment from office, and walls will be patched to cover previous
installation points. Fiber cable will be removed from room and re- directed to network /communications
closet, where it will be re- terminated and connected to Ethernet transceivers.
New Transportation Management Center
ADVANTEC will design the TMC room with the assistance of Archetype and CompView. We will provide
a Video System solution that satisfy the City's requirements and fit the room dimensions. Monitors will
be 50 -inch with Ultra -thin bezel. Video processing equipment will be housed in a half- height rack, and all
cables will be hidden from view. A dedicated computer will be provided to run CCTV software and
QuicNet System Map. Two workstations will be provided, including computers and dual monitors. The
room will be carpeted and painted in a color scheme that enhances the work environment. Lighting and

Air Conditioning will be dimensioned for the room size and use. Speakers and Cable TV will be installed.
Lighting, sound, and equipment centralized control will be provided.
The work on the Synchronization tasks of the project will start at the same time as the hardware design,
and run in parallel to it. Preliminary tasks, such as field review, traffic counts, Before Study, and Base
Synchro Model development can start soon after project kick -off.
Fiber Optics system will be configured and tested prior to acceptance by City.
ADVANTEC will make sure that new controllers are programmed with existing basic timing, at time of
turn -on.
SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION FOR CALTRANS
GPS Time-Source Unit
If there is a need for GPS time - source units to be installed at the Master controller locations in order to
maintain time -based coordination with the adjacent signals owned by the local agencies, ADVANTEC will
furnish and install the GPS units.
Caltrans Permit Processing
To expedite the procurement process, ADVANTEC will apply for Caltrans encroachment permit at the
onset of the project, eliminating any issues with Caltrans schedules and deadlines. For any work within
Caltrans' right -of -way (e.g. GPS installations), ADVANTEC will obtain Caltrans' encroachment permit.
We will fill out the encroachment permit application form and submit the application to Caltrans District
12 permit section. Any comments received from Caltrans will be properly addressed, until the
encroachment permit is approved and issued.
Task 8 — Project Report
ADVANTEC will prepare a Final Timings and Evaluation Technical Report with an executive summary
following the requirements set forth in the RFP.
A "Traffic Signal Synchronization Study" Report will be prepared that summarize the methodology and
results of the project. The `Before and After' study results will be used to assess the quantifiable benefits
of the signal coordination efforts. The final report will include the following:
• Project objectives, location, scope;
• Descriptions of any operational deficiencies noted during field review /inventory at each
intersection;

enhancement, and transportation system management strategies, with cost and benefit
estimates.
• A separate binder of all the signal timing plans.
The Project Report will bear the stamp and signature of our Project Director or Project Manager, being
Registered Professional Civil and Traffic Engineers.
Task 9 — Continuing Signal Timing Support and TMC Maintenance
ADVANTEC will provide continuing signal timing support and monitoring for a period of 24months after
completion of the signal timing implementation, following the requirements set forth in the RFP. With
concurrence from City of Seal Beach, we will establish VPN access to City's QuicNet signal system and
remotely monitor the Seal Beach Blvd operations. Any request for field review of operations will be
attended to within 24 hours, and usually within the same day. ADVANTEC has served this function for
cities for many years, and we understand the importance of expeditious response.
ADVANTEC will drive the corridor monthly to observe and further fine -tune the signal timings. This will
take place over a full 12 -hour weekday and 4 -hour weekend period, with prior notification to City staff.
Besides, we guarantee at least 10% improvement in reducing stops and delays along the corridor in the
peak direction in both AM and PM peak periods. If this is not achieved, we will provide an additional 3
months of signal timing monitoring and fine- tuning service to the City at no additional cost.
ADVANTEC will provide, with the assistance of its subcontractor Comp View, maintenance of all TMC
elements for a period of two (2) years. Maintenance services will include monthly preventative visits,
telephone support, unlimited on -site service calls, and loaner equipment availability,
