Fairview Traffic Signal Coordination Project

City of Costa Mesa

Project Description

ADVANTEC has completed the Fairview Avenue Signal Synchronization project for the City of Costa Mesa and Santa Ana, under OCTA Project P. The project involved development and implementation of synchronized traffic signal timing at 31 intersections with a goal of reducing travel times and stops, improving average travel speeds, and associated reduction in fuel consumption, emissions and commuter accidents. This project also involved designing and installing Fiber Optic network for City of Costa Mesa, and expansion of wireless radio communication between intersections for the City of Santa Ana. Other improvements also completed were: controller and cabinet replacements, and installation of CCTV cameras. The overall project goals of inter-jurisdictional traffic signal synchronization for all peak periods were achieved as demonstrated by improvements in travel time of 15% and reductions in number of stops over 20%.
