SECTION 4 ITS Program Areas This section first identifies the ITS requirements for the City of Oakland and then describes a number of ITS alternatives that can be implemented to meet the City’s requirements. The ITS alternatives have been grouped into the following program areas identified by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Report Intelligent Transportation Systems Benefits and Costs: 2003 Update: • Arterial Management Systems; • Traveler Information Systems; • Transit Management Systems; • Emergency Management Systems; and • Event and Incident Management Systems. 4.1 ITS GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND REQUIREMENTS In the citywide workshop, City of Oakland stakeholders expressed a need to have enhanced transportation management capabilities along with their signal system. There are a number of ITS technologies and strategies that can provide the City with this capability. This section documents the operational requirements for the users of the City of Oakland’s ITS system. 4.1.1 Arterial Management Requirements Arterial management systems build on the central signal system functionality discussed in Section 3 by adding enhanced capabilities such as video monitoring and the ability to disseminate real-time traveler information to motorists via filed equipment. The following arterial management requirements were identified at the City workshop: • Transportation Services and Electrical Services shall have the ability to monitor and control the City’s traffic signals and other field equipment from a central location. • Transportation Services shall have the ability to video monitor real-time traffic conditions at intersections of key corridors via field equipment. • Transportation Services shall have the ability to monitor, collect, and report real-time traffic volume, occupancy and speed data along key corridors via field equipment and probe vehicles. • Transportation Services shall have the ability to disseminate real-time information regarding traffic conditions along key corridors to travelers via field equipment. • Transportation Services hall have the ability to disseminate real-time information regarding parking availability garages and surface lots to travelers in Showcase Districts via field equipment. • Transportation Services shall have the ability to monitor at-grade railroad crossing along key corridors. • Transportation Services shall have the ability to exchange traffic data and video among traffic management centers, including Port of Oakland, Caltrans District 4 TMC and the East Bay SMART Corridors TMC, to support a regional control strategy.

4.1.2 Traveler Information Requirements The following traveler information needs were identified at the City workshop: • Travelers shall have the ability to obtain real-time, pre-trip arterial and transit information from public-accessible Internet sites located at high-pedestrian locations in the Showcase Districts and TODs (Transit-Oriented Districts). • Travelers shall have the ability to obtain real-time, pre-trip arterial and transit information from personal information access, such as Internet, telephone and cable TV. • Transportation Services shall integrate broadcast information dissemination via the Internet and telephone with MTC’s 511/TravInfo®, the regional traveler information system. 4.1.3 Transit Management Requirements The following transit management needs were identified at the City workshop: • Transportation Services shall provide access to real-time video images to AC Transit to help improve on-time performance of the transit system. • Traffic signals shall provide transit priority for AC Transit’s Enhanced Bus and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Services along transit streets identified in the General Plan. 4.1.4 Emergency Management Requirements The following emergency management needs were identified at the City workshop: • Traffic signals shall provide preemption and priority to emergency vehicles along key corridors and evacuation routes. • Emergency vehicles shall have automatic vehicle tracking to help track and route vehicles to incident locations. 4.1.5 Event and Incident Management Systems The following event and incident management needs were identified at the City workshop: • Transportation Services shall have the ability to detect and verify incidents by monitoring key corridors from a central location. • Transportation Services shall have the ability to respond to incidents by adjusting signal timing and activating other field equipment to disseminate information along key corridors. • Transportation Services and Police Department shall have the ability to manage planned events by scheduling signal timing adjustments and other field equipment activation to disseminate information along key corridors. • Transportation Services and Police Department shall have the ability to respond to incidents by adjusting signal timing and activating other field equipment to disseminate information along key corridors.
