TMC and then select an appropriate signal-timing plan to improve the flow of traffic along a corridor. Signal timing along a corridor can be coordinated between agencies across jurisdictions. This can be especially useful during an event at the Coliseum or to manage holiday traffic near the airport. It is also important when a major incident on the freeway diverts traffic onto local arterials. Additionally, if DMS have been implemented throughout the City, messages could be transmitted to motorists to help them navigate around incidents or to help them enter or leave the Coliseum during special events. Incident and event management is related to Emergency Management Systems because it requires coordination between the City of Oakland Transportation Services Division and public safety agencies such as Oakland Police Department, Oakland Fire Department, and CHP whenever an incident requires emergency response or emergency assistance. This is usually the case if there is an injury crash, fire or spill on the City streets. In addition, coordination with City of Oakland police is usually required during special events with respect to on site traffic control. Event and Incident Management Recommendations – It is recommended that the City of Oakland use the CCTV cameras and system detectors proactively to help identify incidents in the project area, especially during Coliseum events, holidays, and peak periods. If incidents are detected, the City should respond to these incidents by taking appropriate measures such as adjusting signal coordination plans as needed and coordinating with appropriate agencies responsible for incident management. The City should also use DMS as required to help inform motorists of unusually traffic conditions in the project area. The City of Oakland should coordinate with public safety agencies such as police and fire departments during incidents or planned events. This coordination could be facilitated through an integrated TMC/EOC center or at least by having a direct link between the two centers. Additionally, representatives from either the Oakland Police Department or Fire Department could be temporarily located in the Oakland TMC to assist with management of major events or incidents. City of Oakland ITS Strategic Plan 54 September, 2003
SECTION 5 High-Level System Architecture The City of Oakland ITS system will be managed by the City of Oakland as part of their overall traffic management operations. A number of other agencies will also be an integral part of making this system successful. Much of the success depends on interfaces with other existing and planned transportation systems in the area to provide an integrated, seamless network of transportation management between the City of Oakland, Oakland Police and Fire Departments, Port of Oakland, Caltrans, and other adjacent cities. A number of agencies are involved in various aspects of transportation management and provision of transportation services in the City of Oakland. To promote the overall mobility in the area and make this project a success, the City of Oakland will need to coordinate with the following agencies: • BART; • AC Transit; • Alameda County CMA (for East Bay SMART Corridors); • Port of Oakland; • Caltrans District 4 TMC; • Oakland Police and Fire Departments; • Adjacent jurisdictions such as City of Alameda, City of San Leandro, City of Emeryville, City of Berkeley and Alameda County; • CHP who is responsible for incident management on freeways; and • Local media and ISPs that provide traveler information services to the public via the Internet and television and radio broadcasts. This includes coordination with MTC regarding their 511/TravInfo® system. The City of Oakland’s plan for ITS deployment in the City needs to consider how the City’s system will be integrated into the regional ITS architecture. MTC’s regional ITS architecture initiative was discussed in Section 2. The Oakland area is relatively new to ITS deployment but its local and regional partner agencies have a number of ITS technologies and systems already deployed throughout the Bay Area as discussed in Section 2. It will be important for the City of Oakland to deploy an ITS system that can be integrated with the various regional systems to provide more comprehensive services to the public and to complement previous ITS efforts in the Bay Area. A series of stakeholder meetings and interviews have been conducted through MTC’s regional architecture project and this project and a regional consensus has begun to take shape. This section outlines the general elements of the City of Oakland’s ITS Architecture and recommends the steps needed to ensure that the City of Oakland’s architecture is consistent with the Bay Area Regional ITS Architecture. 5.1 NATIONAL ITS ARCHITECTURE In June of 1996, the FHWA and Joint Program Office (JPO) completed the development of the National Architecture for ITS.
