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%

City of Glendale has commissioned ADVANTEC to develop a level of service model using Synchro software, which will be incorporated into the arterial traffic performance measurement system to allow for necessary operation timing adjustments. The Synchro model included 157 signalized intersections and was used to perform operational analysis of each traffic signal and develop appropriate mitigation measures to maintain acceptable levels of service.

As part of the Program for Arterial System Synchronization (PASS) ADVANTEC was selected by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to provide technical assistance to Bay Area agencies to help improve the safe and efficient operation of traffic signal systems on regional significant corridors. MTC has assigned three projects to ADVANTEC to develop weekday and weekend peak hour timing plans. The projects included:

• State Route 82 (El Camino Real) in Santa Clara County, containing 59 intersections, operated by Caltrans District 4.

• 4th Street, Oak Street, and 98th Avenue in the City of Oakland (41 signals)

• East Grand Avenue, Airport Blvd, South Airport Blvd, and Chestnut/Westborough in the City of South San Francisco (20 signals)

• El Camino Real, in San Mateo County, operated by Caltrans District 4 (18 signals).

ADVANTEC completed a Signal Synchronization project for the City of Irvine, under Measure M2 (Orange County), which consisted of development and implementation of synchronized traffic signal timing for A.M., Off-peak, Midday, P.M., and evening periods, at 33 intersections along Jeffrey Road/University Drive corridor. The project involved the Cities of Irvine and Newport Beach.
