SUBJECT: Traffic Signal Communication Master Plan
ISSUE:
Over the past year, staff has been working together with iteris, Inc. to review our traffic
signal system, and to develop a master plan for modernization of the City's entire signal
system. The Traffic Signal Communication Master Plan (TSMP) is now complete, and
staff recommends that the report be received and filed with the City Clerk
DISCUSSION:
The TSMP is a document that presents an assessment of the existing traffic signal
equipment and existing communication links between the traffic signals and City Hall.
The TSMP outlines a proposed strategy for completing a multi -phase Traffic Signal
Modernization program to replace traffic signal controller equipment at all of the existing
112 signalized intersections in the City. Most of the existing signal equipment was
installed in the 1980's, is very outdated, technologically deficient, and is developing
reliability concerns. In addition, maintenance of the older equipment is becoming cost
prohibitive. With the completion of the program, every traffic signal will have new
controller equipment that can better "communicate" with the traffic management center
at City Hall as well as with each other. This will improve the coordination and operation
of the traffic signals City -wide.
The TSMP presents a summary of a modernization project which is broken down into
eight separate phase projects. Intersection improvement phases are grouped based on
geographic locations and intersection similarities. Phases are .prioritized based on
traffic volumes and accident history.
Design and plan preparation is complete for the TSMP Phase 1 project, and
construction is scheduled for completion by the end of this year. The TSMP Phase 1
Modernization project includes the installation of new traffic signal controller equipment
at 22 intersections along Coast Highway, MacArthur Boulevard, and Avocado Avenue,
installation of a new master computer controller at City Hall, and new system software.
The purchase and installation of the controllers and software will be through a purchase
contract with Econolite Control Products, Inc.

Additionally, the TSMP Phase 1 Modernization project tasks include construction work
involving installation of two new video cameras, installation of fiber communication
lines, a new pedestrian traffic signal on Coast Highway at Iris Avenue, and interim traffic
management center improvements. The City Council will be receiving several
documents in the upcoming months related to the first three city -wide TSMP projects.
The following is a tentative schedule for placing TSMP items on the Council Agenda.

Modernization project includes new signal control equipment at 14 intersections along
the Jamboree Road corridor and Bison Avenue. The Phase 3 Modernization project
includes new equipment at 20 intersections in the airport area. Schedules for the
remaining phases are dependent on available funding and grant opportunities.
The initial Phase 1 project was previously awarded a total of $477,285 in competitive
Measure M grant funding. Staff is currently completing applications for competitive
Measure M grant funding for Phase 2 construction in fiscal year 08/09, and Phase 3
construction in fiscal year 09/10.
Public Works staff presented a review of the Communication Master Plan at the
General Plan Implementation Committee meeting of January 30, 2008. The Committee
had specific questions related to the project costs and funding needs. The cost
estimates for the phased projects are detailed below:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Newport Beach initiated the Traffic Signal Communication Master Plan and Phase I
PS &E project that in part involved the development of the Traffic Signal Communications Master
Plan. The focus of the Traffic Signal Communications Master Plan was to develop a Master
Plan that meets the following goals:
1. Details a long -term communication and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
deployment strategy
2. Inventories the existing communication and transportation infrastructure to maximize
the use of existing resources when deploying future communication, traffic signal and
ITS deployments to maximize funding
3. Improves public safety and incident response times
4. Coordinates with City of Newport Beach Information Technology (IT) to address
communication hardware needs and requirements of the City's WAN
5. Provides the City with the tools to more efficiently and effectively manage the existing
transportation network
6. Provides communications operations and mAintenance cost estimates
7. Develops detailed deployment cost estimates for the phased deployment of
communications and ITS strategies
8. Employs Systems Engineering Best Practices
9. Addresses requirement for Ethemet -based communications to support the traffic signal
system consisting of icons® central software and ASC /3 traffic signal controllers (NEMA
and 2070 based formats)
10. Details a transition plan from the VMS system to the icons ®system for each phase of
the deployment
11. Supports the transmission of IP video and data from CCTV cameras
12. Addresses possible systems integration to support multi - jurisdictional coordination with
additional City departments including IT
13. Comply with and become part of the Regional ITS Architecture
14. Develop City standards for communication and ITS deployments
15. Address communication requirements for possible relocation of Newport Beach TMC, if
applicable
Three technical memorandums were completed to support the development of the Master Plan.
The first summarized the City's existing signal system and communications infrastructure. The
second highlighted the various alternatives that the City could choose to support future signal
system and communications expansion. The third provided specific recommendations for the
City to .support the signal system and communication expansion goals and a deployment
strategy. Comments received on each of the three technical memorandums were used to
develop the City of Newport Beach's Traffic Signal Communications Master Plan.
The Master Plan is comprised of the following sections:
Section 1: Introductions: This section introduces the Traffic Signal Communication Master
Plan and Phase I PS &E project and the details of the Master Plan document.
Section 2: Existing Conditions: This section summarized the City's existing traffic signals
and operations systems. The section is divided into four main sections covering the existing
streets and highway network, traffic management system, communication system, and
operations maintenance.
Section 3: Stakeholder Identification & Coordination: This section discusses the major
stakeholders and partnering agencies for the Traffic Signal Communication Master Plan and
Phase I PS &E project. The partnering agencies are included in this report for future
coordination between agencies, for signal timing coordination, data sharing (i.e. CCTV
feeds), or future phase projects.
Section 4: ITS Strategies: This section discusses the numerous ITS strategies available to
the City to aid in improving transportation management in Newport Beach. This section
covers a wide array of ITS strategies to aid City staff in becoming more familiar with ITS.
Note that it is likely only some, not all, of the ITS strategies presented will be applicable to
Newport Beach.
Section 5: Needs Assessment & Solutions: This section discusses the specific needs of
the City based on the ITS deployment strategies. Based on the goals identified for the
project, this section . determines the communication needs for the communications
infrastructure, transportation system management, traffic operations, ITS planning and
institutional opportunities, and level of service goals for traffic.

Deployment Strategy
The Master Plan provides an approach to deploy Ethernet -based communications, new traffic
signal controllers, and CCTV cameras by phase. For each phase, the Master Plan provides the
project limits, listing of signalized intersections, quantities of equipment (controllers, Ethernet
hardware, CCTV cameras), communication media (fiber, twisted pair, wireless), and
infrastructure (conduit, pull boxes) to install. Each phase also includes an itemized cost
estimate inclusive of design, construction, integration and signal timing costs, plus a escalation
factor corresponding to the number of years before a specific phase will be implemented. Upon
full deployment of the phases detailed in the Master Plan, all of the City's. existing and future
signals, identified during the preparation of the Master Plan, will be supported by the City's
Ethernet -based communications system.
Gigabit Ethernet Communications System
The Master Plan details the deployment of an Ethernet -based communication system between
the signalized intersections (field elements) and the City - facilities listed below.
1. Central Library near Avocado Ave
Corporate Plaza Drive
2. NCCC near San Joaquin Hills Road
Newport Coast Drive
3. Police Department near Jamboree
Santa Barbara
4. Fire Station 7 near Irvine Avenue
University Drive
and 5. Fire Station 6 near Irvine Avenue and
Westcliff Drive
and 6. General Services near Superior Avenue
and 16`" Street
and 7. City hall near Newport Blvd. and 32"d
Street
and
At each City - facility listed above, a high- bandwidth communication link will be implemented by
Newport Beach IT Department to the City Hall. At the time this report was written, the COX
Business Services agreement with the City established the following services for the City.
A DS3 (T3) communication link between City Hall and the Central Library offering 44 MB
of bandwidth.
Additional services to be provided with the agreement include a 1011.7 Ethernet line
service (ELS) from the Police Department to City Hall. These communication links are
envisioned to replace the existing T1 connections.
The deployment of an Ethemet -based system supported by a DS3 leased line will provide the
City with a viable network and substantially more bandwidth that was offered by the T1 leased
lines, especially in the short term in support of the Phase 1 and Phase 2 projects. But it does
not provide much growth potential and limits traffic bandwidth availability over the long term as
the City expands into Phase 3 and beyond.
The Master Plan provides a long -term vision to deploy a Gigabit Ethernet communications
system to address the long -term needs for both Traffic and IT departments of Newport Beach.
The proposed Gigabit Ethernet network configuration could include both primary and secondary
Gigabit Ethernet microwave communication links. These links would provide redundant
communications between the Gigabit Ethernet fiber backbone and City Hall, via two field
connections to the fiber backbone. For the purposes of this discussion, the field Gigabit
Ethernet microwave links would be located at Central Library and Fire Station 7. The two
December 2007
wireless network paths, along with the deployment of fiber optic cable between the Central
Library and Fire Station 7, represents a redundant configuration of the fiber backbone to
achieve a 1 Gigabit wireless backbone to City Hall.
Master Plan
The City's existing traffic signal central system, the VMS -330, supports nearly half of the City's
signalized intersections. The remaining intersections communicate at the local level through
field masters. With the Traffic Siqnal Communications Master Plan and Phase I PS &E project,
Citywide upgrades of the existing traffic signal central system and the traffic signal controllers
have been initiated. This includes the following:
• Replacement of the existing VMS -330 system with an icons@ system, by Econolite
• Replacement of the existing traffic signal controllers with new controllers compatible with
icons®
• Deployment of new Ethernet -based communications
• Deployment of video surveillance system to monitor traffic operations
• Deployment of a temporary TMC at the existing City Hall and possible layouts for an
upgraded TMC at the new City Hall
Citywide improvements have been broken down into eight phases. Intersections were grouped
based on geographic locations and intersection similarities. Phases were prioritized based on
volumes and incident frequency rates provided by the City and discussed in the previous
sections. The limits of work and various improvements per phase are detailed in the subsequent
subsections.
Projects corresponding with each phase may include communications upgrades, traffic signal
controllers upgrades, CCTV cameras and other ITS device deployments. Other proposed
improvements may include the installation of GPS clocks for synchronization purposes or the
retention of the phone drops at isolated locations, if no other cost - effective means of
communications can be achieved. The proposed project phases and associated limits are
summarized below. The range of costs is based on the option to deploy a combination of
primary CCTV camera locations and optional secondary CCTV camera locations.
PHASE 1: 21 intersections at cost of $587,000 (excludes cost of icons® and TMC)
• Coast Hwy from Jamboree Rd to Newport Coast Dr

Future Newport Beach TMC
The Master Plan also provides a discussion on the needs for the planned Newport Beach Traffic
Management Center once the new Newport Beach City Hall is constructed. The details of the
new TMC are general and aim to provide the City with general criteria for the size and layout of
the TMC based on the City's anticipated needs. Once more information is provided as to the
area in the new City Hall allocated for the s'MC, a specific floor plan can be developed.

Deployment Strategy
The Master Plan provides an approach to deploy Ethernet -based communications, new traffic
signal controllers, and CCTV cameras by phase. For each phase, the Master Plan provides the
project limits, listing of signalized intersections, quantities of equipment (controllers, Ethernet
hardware, CCTV cameras), communication media (fiber, twisted pair, wireless), and
infrastructure (conduit, pull boxes) to install. Each phase also includes an itemized cost
estimate inclusive of design, construction, integration and signal timing costs, plus a escalation
factor corresponding to the number of years before a specific phase will be implemented. Upon
full deployment of the phases detailed in the Master Plan, all of the City's existing and future
signals, identified during the preparation of the Master Plan, will be supported by the City's
Ethernet -based communications system.
Gigabit Ethernet Communications System
The Master Plan details the deployment of an Ethernet -based communication system between
the signalized intersections (field elements) and the City - facilities listed below.
1. Central Library near Avocado Ave
Corporate Plaza Drive
2. NCCC near San Joaquin Hills Road
Newport Coast Drive
3. Police Department near Jamboree
Santa Barbara
and 5. Fire Station 6 near Irvine Avenue and
Westcliff Drive
and 6. General Services near Superior Avenue
and 16`h Street
and 7. City hall near Newport Blvd. and 32"`
Street
4. Fire Station 7 near Irvine Avenue and
University Drive
At each City - facility listed above, a high- bandwidth communication link will be implemented by
Newport Beach IT Department to the City Hall. At the time this report was written, the COX
Business Services agreement with the City established the following services for the City.
A DS3 (T3) communication link between City Hall and the Central Library offering 44 MB
of bandwidth.
• Additional services to be provided with the agreement include a 1011.7 Ethernet line
service (ELS) from the Police Department to City Hall. These communication links are
envisioned to replace the existing T1 connections.
The deployment of an Ethernet -based system supported by a DS3 leased line will provide the
City with a viable network and substantially more bandwidth that was offered by the T1 leased
lines, especially in the short term in support of the Phase 1 and Phase 2 projects. But it does
not provide much growth potential and limits traffic bandwidth availability over the long term as
the City expands into Phase 3 and beyond.
The Master Plan provides a long -term vision to deploy a Gigabit Ethernet communications
system to address the long -term needs for both Traffic and IT departments of Newport Beach.
The proposed Gigabit Ethernet network configuration could include both primary and secondary
Gigabit Ethernet microwave communication links. These links would provide redundant
communications between the Gigabit Ethernet fiber backbone and City Hall, via two field
connections to the fiber backbone. For the purposes of this discussion, the field Gigabit
Ethernet microwave links would be located at Central Library and Fire Station 7. The two
ITERIS-
I
1
wireless network paths, along with the deployment of fiber optic cable between the Central
' Library and Fire Station 7, represents a redundant configuration of the fiber backbone to
achieve a 1 Gigabit wireless backbone to City Hall.
' Master Plan
The City's existing traffic signal central system, the VMS -330, supports nearly half of the City's
signalized intersections. The remaining intersections communicate at the local level through
field masters. With the Traffic Signal Communications Master Plan and Phase I PS&E project,
Citywide upgrades of the existing traffic signal central system and the traffic signal controllers
have been initiated. This includes the following:
' • Replacement of the existing VMS -330 system with an icons® system, by Econolite
• Replacement of the existing traffic signal controllers with new controllers compatible with
icons®
• Deployment of new Ethernet -based communications
' • Deployment of video surveillance system to monitor traffic operations
• Deployment of a temporary TMC at the existing City Hall and possible layouts for an
upgraded TMC at the new City Hall
' Citywide improvements have been broken down into eight phases. Intersections were grouped
based on geographic locations and intersection similarities. Phases were prioritized based on
volumes and incident frequency rates provided by the City and discussed in the previous
' sections. The limits of work and various improvements per phase are detailed in the subsequent
subsections.
' Projects corresponding with each phase may include communications upgrades, traffic signal
controllers upgrades, CCTV cameras and other ITS device deployments. Other proposed
improvements may include the installation of GPS clocks for synchronization purposes or the
retention of the phone drops at isolated locations, if no other cost - effective means of
' communications can be achieved. The proposed project phases and associated limits are
summarized below. The range of costs is based on the option to deploy a combination of
primary CCTV camera locations and optional secondary CCTV camera locations.
' PHASE 1: 21 intersections at cost of $587, 000 (excludes cost of icons' and TMC)

Future Newport Beach TMC
The Master Plan also provides a discussion on the needs for the planned Newport Beach Traffic
Management Center once the new Newport Beach City Hall is constructed. The details of the
new TMC are general and aim to provide the City with general criteria for the size and layout of
the TMC based on the City's anticipated needs. Once more information is provided as to the
area in the new City Hall allocated for the TMC, a specific floor plan can be developed.

2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
With any traffic signal system upgrade, documentation of existing traffic system elements is an
essential step in providing the most cost- effective, efficient, and productive new system. The
following section will discuss the City of Newport Beach's existing streets and highway network,
traffic management systems, communications systems, and operations and maintenance
(O &M) staffing.
2.1 EXISTING STREETS AND HIGHWAY NETWORK
The City of Newport Beach is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on the south and located between
the cities of Laguna Beach on the east, Irvine on the north, and Costa Mesa on the west. The
City's streets and highway network consists of a series of major east -west and north -south
arterials supported by State Route (SR) 55 and SR 73. Figure 2.1 illustrates the primary
arterial corridors within the City. A list of these corridors is provided below.

2.2 EXISTING TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
The following section presents the existing traffic management systems for the City of Newport
Beach. The existing traffic management systems presented in this section includes the City's
existing traffic signal systems, ITS implementations, and traffic management center.
2.2.1 Signalized Intersections
The traffic signal system in the Newport Beach region consists of nearly 150 signalized
intersections. As noted in the following Section 2.2 tables, the majority of these signalized
intersections are solely operated by the City of Newport Beach. Some of the signalized
intersections are shared with the neighboring cities of Irvine and Costa Mesa, the County of
Orange, or Caltrans, or are solely maintained by adjacent agencies. Maintenance and operation
of the signalized intersections is done by the sole operating agency or, where the signalized
intersections are shared, the primary agency operates and maintains the signalized
intersections.
Note that while it is important to inventory the local agency signalized intersections, it is equally
important to inventory border signalized intersections as it may be possible to improve
' operations at the border signalized intersections through the deployment of ITS strategies.
Figure 2.2 provides the location of each existing signalized intersection and the agency that
' owns and operates each intersection. Existing signalized intersections will be discussed by the
following categories:
• Newport Beach signalized intersections
• Future Newport Beach intersections
• Caltrans signalized intersections,
• Newport Beach shared signalized intersections
' NEWPORT BEACH SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS
The City currently operates and maintains 112 signalized intersections. The City utilizes a
combination of 820/820A traffic signal controllers and Type 170 traffic signal controllers. The
' majority (approximately 52 of the 91) of the 820/820A traffic signal controllers are supported by
the Multisonics VMS -330 central traffic signal system. The VMS does not have the capability to
support the 21 intersections operating the Type 170 controllers. There is currently no
' communication to these signals from the central system. The VMS is located at the TMC, at
Newport Beach City Hall, and includes a WWV clock.
' Of the 112 signals operated by the City, 100 are solely operated by the City. Nineteen of these
signals were previously operated by Caltrans. Recently, the operation of these signals was
transferred to the City. These included signalized intersections along Coast Highway from and
including Jamboree Road south to Newport Coast Drive and seven signals along Bristol Street
' and Bristol Street North. The intersections along Bristol Street operate under two separate
coordinated systems (with two field masters). Intersections along Coast Highway operate as five
separate coordinated systems (with five different field masters). The field masters are
' connected to their corresponding field controllers through twisted pair interconnect. To support
coordinated signal timing, the City deployed two GPS clocks, one at Coast Hwy & Jamboree
and one at Bristol Street & Irvine - Campus.

The Newport Beach signalized intersections are listed in Table 2.1 below and illustrated in
Figure 2.2.
The City currently has emergency vehicle pre - emption equipment installed at 84 intersections.
Seventy four of these are operated by the City of Newport Beach and ten are operated by
Caltrans. Additional equipment at the City's signalized intersections includes battery backup
systems at sixty -nine of the City's intersections. Nineteen of these are operated by Caltrans and
three are operated by the City of Irvine.

2.2.2 ITS Implementations
Existing ITS implementations currently deployed within the City to assist in traffic management
activities includes a CCTV camera and permanent extinguishable message signs.
CCTV CAMERA
There is currently one CCTV camera in the City of Newport Beach, located at the signalized
intersection of Coast Highway and Jamboree Road. Though the camera was tested by the City,
the CCTV camera is owned by a third party. This CCTV camera is operated and maintained by
the Newport Beach Police Department. The City has no access to or any operational rights to
the CCTV camera.
Additionally, the City of Irvine has one CCTV camera at the shared intersection of Jamboree
Road and MacArthur Boulevard. Currently, this CCTV camera only provides video to the Irvine
TMC; the City of Newport Beach does not have access to the CCTV camera.
FIXED EXTINGUISHABLE MESSAGE SIGNS
The City has deployed two fixed extinguishable message signs (EMS) located at the southern
end of Balboa Peninsula. The EMS are used solely by Newport Beach Police to assist in
parking management. The EMS are locally controlled. The EMS have limited capabilities, are
not being used at this time, and are not considered an important traffic management element.
Furthermore, the City does not envision the need to upgrade the EMS to DMS, or provide
central communication for the signs, as the location of the EMS limits the alternatives for
motorists in the area.

2.2.3 Newport Beach TMC
EXISTING TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTER (TMC)
The City of Newport Beach Traffic Management Center (TMC) is located at City Hall, 3300
Newport Blvd. The TMC houses the existing central traffic signal system — the VMS -330. The
VMS -330 system includes the communication cabinet and a wall mounted signal status board.
' The TMC is located in the Traffic Engineering office area, an area of approximately 360 square
feet (24 -foot by 15 -foot footprint). The area is mixed use and includes four work areas, two
cubicles and a large office desk, which is used by four Newport Beach Traffic Engineering staff.
' FUTURE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTER (TMC)
The City has plans for a new City Hall which would include a new TMC; the location of the City
Hall has not yet been determined. To date, an area of approximately 200 square feet has been
' allocated for the new TMC. However, it is envisioned that a larger area is required to meet the
City's long -term needs for a TMC. A detailed TMC analysis will be conducted in a subsequent
report in support of the Master Plan.
t 2.3 EXISTING COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
The City of Newport Beach Information Technology department maintains the communication
system that supports both the traffic signal system as well as the Citywide network that connects
' various City facilities and City Hall. The communication system is presented in the following
sections.
2.3.1 Signal Interconnect Communications
t The City utilizes a combination of leased line circuits, maintained by the City's Information
Technology (IT) department, and phone drops for communication to select signalized
intersections. The City's traffic signal system utilizes five Newport Beach IT leased T1 line
' connections "in the field" and a leased T1 connection at the Newport Beach City Hall. This
leased communication system supports the City's area wide communication system, which
includes communication between City facilities (phone, computer network, etc.) and the City's
' traffic signal system. A T1 connection supports a data rate of 1.544 Mbps, and according to
City staff, the current T1 connections at all locations are operating at full capacity.
The City's traffic signal system communication system also includes six existing phone drops
' that support dial up communications between the VMS -330 system and select signalized
intersections. Dial up connections can support communication rates up to 55 Kbps, but
generally operate at baud rates between 1200 to 9600. The phone drops only support
t communications for the VMS -330 system and are not used as part of the City's overall
communication system.
The City's traffic signal system also includes twisted pair cable in conduit along various arterial
segments in the City. Two major arterials where twisted pair cable is installed along a
continuous stretch of the City arterial include Jamboree Road from Coast Highway to MacArthur
' Boulevard and Coast Highway from Jamboree Road to Newport Coast Drive. Along Coast
Highway, there is one communication gap in this segment, between the intersections of Poppy
and Morning Canyon, where the conduit had been damaged. The existing communication
system, including other segments with twisted pair cable, is illustrated in Figure 2.3 and
' includes the communication system that supports the traffic signal system only.

2.3.2 Information Technology Communications
Newport Beach IT department utilizes a total of 17 T1 leased lines, 16 field locations and one
City Hall location, that support the City's area wide communication system. This includes
communication between City facilities (phone, computer network, etc.) and City Hall. As noted
in the previous section, five of the T1 leased lines also support the traffic signal system.
Currently, all T1 leased lines are operating at full capacity and the City is looking at ways to
replace or augment the T1 leased lines with additional bandwidth. IT is investigating the use of
wireless communications, including spread spectrum radio, licensed microwave and Wi -Fi as
possible long -term solutions to achieve high- bandwidth communication links. In the short-term,
the City IT department is coordinating with Cox Communications to implement leased Ethernet
communication links to select City facilities.
Newport Beach IT currently maintains a wireless spread spectrum Ethernet communication
network that supports communications between two field locations (General Services, Utilities,
Life Guard Headquarters), one location on a City -owned tower as a repeater, and City Hall.
The communications link supports 100 Mbps bandwidth. The City -owned tower is located on
16'h Street at the Utilities Yard and does has spare capacity for additional communications
hardware.
The T1 and wireless communication locations are illustrated in Figure 2.4.
2.4 EXISTING OPERATIONS MAINTENANCE
The City of Newport Beach uses a combination of City staff and contractor services for signal
maintenance. City staff consists of a Traffic Engineering Technician to support signal and
communications maintenance work. The Traffic Engineering Technician handles the routine
day -to -day signal and communications maintenance activities. Additionally, the City is under
contract with Republic ITS for a one to five year contract to support the City's Traffic
Engineering Technician with larger signal maintenance issues.

3.0 STAKEHOLDER IDENTIFICATION AND COORDINATION
To ensure a successful project and minimize potential conflicts, identifying the stakeholders and
establishing coordination between each is essential. The primary stakeholder for the Traffic
Signal Communication Master Plan and Phase I PSBE project will be the City of Newport
Beach's Public Works Department. The Public Works Department will lead the efforts defining
the short and long term goals of the City. Through stakeholder coordination, secondary
stakeholders will assist the City's Public Works Department in bringing these goals into fruition.
Partnering agencies will not initially provide any direct input for the project but should be noted
for future projects and assistance.

The City of Newport Beach's existing traffic signal communications system is a combination of
leased line circuits and phone drops to select signalized intersections. The City's existing traffic
signal system utilizes six leased T1 line connections maintained by the City's Information
Technology (IT) department. According to City staff, current T1 connections at all locations are
operating at full capacity.
The reliance on the City's IT leased lines and the maintenance provided by the IT department
requires coordination with and input by the IT department. Accordingly, the IT department will be
a key stakeholder for this project. At a minimum, the IT department will provide input into the
hardware and operational requirements of the communication system.
3.2 PARTNERING AGENCIES
Additional stakeholders, though not providing any direct input into this project that could provide
direction for the City's future communication needs include adjacent cities and agencies. These
partnering agencies include the Cities of Irvine, Costa Mesa, and Laguna Beach, the County of
Orange, and Caltrans. Shared traffic signals between the City and any of these agencies require
coordination when making any changes to the intersection, whether it is operational or
geometric. Coordination between the City and any of the partnering agencies could provide
opportunities for data sharing, including CCTV outputs at shared intersections. And
communication recommendations provided in this report would not preclude this strategy.
This project is partially funded by Measure M funding administered by the Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA). Adhering to OCTA's guidelines is paramount to the success of
this project as well as for funding for potential future projects. Communication and partnering
with the OCTA as an additional stakeholder is recommended.

4.0 ITS STRATEGIES
ITS offers numerous strategies that can aid the City of Newport Beach in addressing
transportation management issues. This section presents numerous ITS strategies that could be
applied to the City. Although not all strategies presented will be applicable to the City's needs,
they are provided below for informational purposes. Based on the strategies presented in this
section, the transportation management needs for the City of Newport Beach will be presented
in Section 5.0 and recommended ITS strategies will be identified. The ITS strategies are
presented in the following categories:
1. Communications Network
2. Advanced Transportation Management Systems (ATMS)
3. Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS)
4. Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS)
5. Systems Integration
4.1 COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
The success of any ITS project is highly dependent on the type and status of the agency's
communications network. Having a solid communications network promotes efficiency in
monitoring traffic as well as resolving field issues. The communications network provides
support to the traffic signal system and ITS equipment deployed in the field by bringing data
back to a centralized system such as a traffic management center (TMC).
Data can be communicated back to the TMC by a number of methods, including fiber optic
cable, twisted pair copper wire signal interconnect cable (SIC), wireless communications, and
leased line circuits. All are presented below under the categories of hard wire communications
and wireless communications.
Upgrading the City's communication system is the primary emphasis of this project and it is
' envisioned that one or more of the communication technologies presented herein will be
recommended for deployment.
4.1.1 Hard Wire Communications
Hard wire communications is widely used for ITS and traffic include twisted pair copper wire
signal interconnect (SIC), fiber optic (FO) cable, and leased line circuits. Typically, the cable is
' installed underground inside a conduit. Limitations to the hard wire communications include
right of way, conflicting utilities, installation costs, and the number of pairs (SIC) or strands (FO)
installed.
' TWISTED PAIR COPPER WIRE SIC
Twisted pair copper wire uses two insulated copper wires (pairs) wrapped around each other to
convey electrical signals and is the most basic technology used to establish communication for
' ITS. This technology has a usable bandwidth of 300 to 3000 Hz with typical data transmission
rates of 1200 to 9600 bps, but the trend is moving toward 19.2 Kbps in support of the NTCIP
protocols. Higher data transmission rates can be achieved with conditioned communication
lines. It has a transmission range of approximately 8 to 15 miles with repeaters. The higher the
' bandwidth desired, the closer the repeaters must be spaced; Ethernet over twisted pair cable
can require repeaters spaced as close at 4000 feet in order to achieve 10 Mbps (RuggedCom).
This figure will vary by vendor.
' ITBRIS - --
1
System expansion depends on the number of spare pairs installed and the number of devices
supported, and is therefore limited. Twisted wire pair technology requires less sophisticated
communication equipment. The cost of the copper wire is marginally lower when compared to
fiber, but is significantly higher than wireless solutions at locations where new conduit would be
required. Twisted pair cable supports data, voice and slow scan video applications.
Twisted pair copper wire signal interconnect cable (SIC) has been the most common medium
for signal control application because it provides a cost - effective solution for low- speed, low -
volume data transmission over short distances.
When it comes to the implementation cost, copper wire is typically slightly less expensive than
other landline media such as fiber optic cable; the majority of the installation cost is associated
with new conduit. However, copper wire is subject to electromagnetic and radio frequency (RF)
interference, and has limited bandwidth (very limited when compared to fiber). Also, existing
installations of twisted pair cable rarely include spare pairs for future use and it is not generally
recommended to splice existing SIC due to degradation in transmission quality. The wires are
also more susceptible to damage and the SIC system does not have fault management support.
The majority of the City of Newport Beach's existing communication system relies heavily on
twisted pair copper wire supported leased line circuits (presented below) to transmit traffic signal
controller data to City Hall. Right -of -way issues and costs make the expansion of the current
system (essentially closing communication gaps with additional SIC and eliminating the reliance
on leased line circuits) a costly and unlikely option. Miles of new conduit, installed on both City
and Caltrans right -of -way would be required. Due to the bandwidth limitations of the existing
twisted pair communications as well as the supporting T1 leased lines, the City desires to
replace the existing twisted pair cable where appropriate, along with the T1 leased lines where
possible.
FIBER OPTIC CABLE
Fiber optic cable utilizes pulses of light sent through a long thin glass tube. This technology can
accommodate very large amounts of data and/or video at very high speeds with lower error
rates. Fiber optic cable has more flexibility to increase data transmission rates than twisted pair
and requires the use of fiber optic transceivers to convert the data signal from electrical to light
and from light to electrical. Fiber optic cable requires special equipment and trained
maintenance staff to install, slice and terminate the fiber.
Fiber optic cable is immune to electromagnetic interference, or other noise, but is susceptible to
attenuation. Fiber optic repeaters / amplifiers are used to regenerate the data signal at regular
intervals, typically when the signal exceeds 20 to 30 miles. Currently, Ethernet hardware for
traffic and ITS, which must meet NEMA standards for installation in outdoor environments
(hardened), has data capacities in excess of 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) and virtually unlimited
capacity. Non - hardened hardware for indoor, environmentally controlled environments can
achieve 10 Gbps. Fiber optics can support data, voice, and full motion TV applications.
' For the City of Newport Beach, fiber optic cable is envisioned to be one of the viable options to
replace the existing twisted pair cable.

LEASED LINE CIRCUITS
Obtaining communications links from a 3r° party provider is a valid method of quickly obtaining
communications connectivity to individual locations and/or complete networked
implementations. The "telephone company" is no longer necessarily a single entity, as
' competition for local telephone service is now present in most major markets. The monthly rates
for these leased services include a base component, plus surcharges that are based on the
distance of the link, the amount of bandwidth provided by the link and in some cases the time
' usage of the link. Authorized tariff charges will normally include a one -time charge for
installation and hookup, a monthly charge for line and system use, and subsequent line
conditioning costs. However, reliability of the leased line is an issue and there is a risk when
leased lines support critical applications. The following are the most commonly used services:
' 56K Frame Relay Service: this is an always -on connection between two facilities that
provides a fixed 56 Kbps of bandwidth.
' T1 and T3: they are identical to the 56K frame relay service except that the bandwidth is
1.544 Mbps and 44.736 Mbps.

OC# (OC3, 0C12, etc.): they are identical to the 56K frame relay service except that the
bandwidth varies, typically from 155 Mbps to 622 Mbps
The City currently leases T1 lines for use in both the traffic signal system and for communication
between various City facilities. However, these current leased line connections, are operating at
full capacity and do not meet the City's current bandwidth requirements. If leased line
communications are retained for traffic as the primary form of communication, additionally
leased lines will be necessary if CCTV cameras are to be deployed.
At the date of this report, the City was in discussions with Cox Communications to implement
Ethernet leased line circuits at select City facilities. For the purposes of the Master Plan, it
appears that a DS3 leased line with bandwidth of 44 Mpbs will be implemented between the
Central Library and City Hall. This leased line will be implemented by City IT Department to
support the Phase 1 project.
DATA TELEPHONE LINE
Data telephone lines, also called phone drops, utilizes regular telephone lines that have a dial
tone and an assigned, unique telephone number. Since the telephone company (local service
provider) intends to time -share the available quantity of regular dial -up telephone line circuits
among its many subscribers, this communications media is best for data communication which
are sporadic, not continuous. The local service provider has structured the monthly rate on this
type of service to achieve this type of usage.
Data telephone line service also entails a small amount of time latency in establishing the
communications link. Faster speeds are often possible with dial -up, but getting the link initially
active will require several seconds (maybe up to 20 or 30 seconds). If the data exchange
between a system at the controller isn't continuous, and the time delay in establishing the
communications link is acceptable, then dial -up service provides a very attractive solution, both
for cost and for integrity of the communications link. While individual leased data lines have
been notorious for being accidentally "reused" by telephone company technicians, it is far more
rare that individual dial -up telephone service is accidentally disrupted.

Data telephone line service is currently being used at a five locations to support
' communications with signalized intersections in the City and the TMC. The existing phone
drops could be retained as they do meet the current communication requirements for the
signalized intersections supported.
' 4.1.2 Wireless Communication
Wireless communication is a viable alternative to provide communications to remote signalized
intersections, where right -of -way is an issue, or where construction costs prohibit the installation
' of new hardwire communications, such as fiber optic cable in new conduit. Wireless technology
does not require the installation of physical conduit or cable infrastructure, but does generally
require line of sight (LOS) (when microwave or spread spectrum) is employed.
Wireless applications can be divided into two categories: fixed point -to -point or fixed -to- mobile
(where typically the transmitter is moving). Fixed point -to -point applications are the traditional
1 and most common use of wireless communication systems. Microwave is an example of fixed
point -to -point technology. A few of the more common types of wireless communication
technology used for traffic signal system communication are presented below.
' MICROWAVE COMMUNICATION
Microwave technology transmits data and video via radio waves and is a fixed point -to -point
wireless technology. It is mostly used when a hardwire link is expensive or not available, such
t as installing fiber optic cable in new conduit. It requires a very clean direct line of sight between
the two points being connected. At the low end of the scale of price and complexity, a 24 GHz
microwave link consisting of a pair of relatively small microwave dishes (approximately the size
of a single traffic signal head section) facing each other would emulate a twisted pair copper
cable connection, and would be used as a connection between 2 adjacent traffic signals. Each
additional intersection added to that initial link would also require a pair of microwave dishes.
The microwave controller in the signal controller cabinet can manage 2 dishes, that being two
' dishes at that one intersection, each pointing toward a dish at the adjacent intersection
Microwave is also a medium that can be used for very high speed communications. In order to
gain long- distance line of sight, the antenna would need to be a good distance higher than a
normal traffic signal pole. This could be a solution for data links needing large data throughputs,
such as live video and aggregated data streams from a proposed data communications
' backbone hub location.
Microwave can be deployed as non - licensed and licensed microwave; licensed microwave
requires the end user to acquire a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license.
Licensed microwave ensures that another wireless system will not interfere with the
communication link.
' The City currently employs multiple licensed microwave links. In support of this project, the City
IT department is investigating the ability to expand the wireless communications to augment the
existing leased lines.

' SPREAD SPECTRUM
Like microwave technology, spread spectrum technology also relies on radio wave propagation
for data and video transmission and is a fixed point -to -point wireless technology. The main
difference between the two technologies is that spread spectrum operates in the unlicensed
' 900MHz, 2.4GHz, and 5.7 GHz frequencies. In addition to the line -of -sight disadvantages of
microwave technology, there is some risk that the unlicensed radio spectrum bands allocated to
the spread spectrum radio will become overcrowded, causing interruption to service in the
' future. However, spread spectrum radio has been successfully used in the transportation
industry in lieu of installing twisted pair cable or fiber optic cable. Additionally, spread spectrum
is now able to support Ethernet communications, making it a good alternative to provide
' communications to remote signalized intersections, or "last mile" intersections, located such that
installing cable and conduit is cost prohibitive.
' Employing spread spectrum Ethernet radios to support communications to select intersections
is a viable option for the City of Newport Beach.
WI FI COMMUNICATION
' Wi -Fl is the technology of wireless local area networks (WLAN) based on the IEEE 802.11
specifications. A person with a Wi -Fi device, such as a computer, telephone or PDA can
connect to the Internet when in proximity of an access point. The region covered by one or
' several access points is called a hotspot. Hotspots can range from a single room to many mile
squares of overlapping hotspots.
A typical Wi -Fi setup contains one or more Access Points (APs) and one or more clients. An AP
' broadcasts its SSID (Service Set Identifier, "Network Name') via packets that are called
beacons, which are broadcast every 100 ms. The beacons are transmitted at 1 MbiUs, and are
of relatively short duration and therefore do not have a significant influence on performance.
' Based on the settings, the client may decide whether to connect to an AP. Also the firmware
running on the Client Wi -Fi card is of influence. Since Wi -Fi transmits in the air, it has the same
properties as a non - switched Ethernet network.
WI -FI (and WiMax presented below) can support communications that utilizes the 4.9 GHz
Public Safety frequency. The FCC - approved 4.9 GHz license gives an agency the right to use
the entire 4940 -4990 MHz frequency band, and is a licensed frequency that can only be used by
' public agencies. The system can support Ethernet communications to ITS field devices
including traffic signal controllers, CCTV cameras, DMS, freeway sensors, etc., and could fill
gaps in the fiber optic communications.
' The City does not envision deploying WI -FI communications for traffic operations at this time.
WIMAX
' The WiMax standard is a variant of Wi -Fi that provides high -speed broadband access via a
wireless connection over a longer range than Wi -Fi. Because it can be used over long
distances, it is an effective "last mile' solution for delivering broadband level connections to
' remote places.
' ITEruS _
Page 21 of 117
Based on the IEEE 802.16 Air Interface Standard, WiMax can provide a point -to- multipoint
architecture, making it an ideal method to deliver broadband level communication to ITS
locations where wired connections would be difficult or costly. Since a WiMax connection can
also be bridged or routed to a standard wired or wireless Local Area Network (LAN) this solution
is ideal for "last mile" applications that connect to wire networks. Although it is a wireless
technology, unlike other wireless technologies (spread spectrum), it does not require a direct
line of sight between the source and endpoint, and it has a service range of up to 50 kilometers.
It provides a shared data rate up to 70Mbps, which is enough to service most ITS applications
on most corridors. WiMax also offers some advantages over WiFi and other similar wireless
technologies, in that it offers greater range and is more bandwidth - efficient.
WiMax requires a tower, similar to a cell phone tower, to support a Base Station Unit (BSU)
which is connected to the Internet or dedicated network using a standard wired (fiber optic)
high -speed connections. A Subscriber Station Unit (SSU) acts as the interface point for network
edge devices.
Figure 4.1 illustrates the difference between Spread Spectrum Radio and Wi -Fi Technology in
transmitting the signals. WiMax transmits the signal in the same way as Wi -Fi except that it
covers more distance (the Wi -Fi signal range is around hundreds of feet, whereas WiMax can
go up to few miles).
The City does not envision deploying WiMax communications for traffic operations at this time.
MESH NETWORK
Mesh Networks is another type of wireless technology and follows a unique ad -hoc, peer -to-
peer, Mesh Enabled Architecture (MEAT) wireless communication network system that
operates in the unlicensed 2.4 MHz spectrum. Mesh Networks operate at slightly higher radio
power output and utilize some 'reserved" frequencies that are restricted from use by other
spread spectrum radio systems. For these reasons, MEAT systems have the ability to
communicate effectively even in areas where other 2.4 GHz spread spectrum systems might
experience interference and contention. However, the drawback to this technology is the limited
deployment base from which to learn about its strengths and weaknesses within the
transportation industry. They are expected to become a much larger player within the
transportation industry.
The City does not envision deploying Mesh network communications for traffic operations at this
time.

4.2 ADVANCED TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (ATMS)
The application of Advanced Transportation Management Systems (ATMS) is generally
considered one of the more robust areas of ITS design and deployment, as it is very mature in
terms of both number of deployments and its characteristics. ATMS can be as basic as the
deployment of or upgrade of a traffic signal control system to as complex as an integrated area -
wide system, which includes roadway surveillance, and data /video /control sharing among
several agencies. Some of the key ATMS strategies are described below.
4.2.1 Traffic Signal System
The traffic signal system is comprised of the central software system, generally called the traffic
control system (TCS) and traffic signal controllers, which are generally the fundamental
components of any ATMS. The TCS provides an agency with remote control of traffic signal
controllers from a central location (TMC), providing the software tools to manage, monitor, and
control traffic operations remotely.
The traffic signal controllers have a direct interface to the TCS. Traditionally, the traffic signal
controller operates traffic signal timing plans based on the time of day or other mode, and the
TCS will simply monitor the status of the traffic signal controllers, retrieve loop data, and
synchronize the traffic signal controller clocks so that they operate in a coordinated fashion.
With the advent of more advanced operations including traffic responsive and traffic adaptive
operation, reliable, high speed communications that provide second by second, or even
continuous, communications between the TCS and the traffic signal controllers is becoming the
standard particularly in high traffic regions like southern California. The City is proposing to
replace the existing VMS 330 system and 820 traffic signal controllers with a new icone system
supporting Model 2070 and ASC 13 traffic signal controllers. For this system, second -by- second
communications is recommended that is supported by Ethernet -based communications.
ITERIS
Page 23 of 11 D- December
SIGNAL COORDINATION
With a reliable traffic signal system, low -cost operational improvements such as signal
coordination can be implemented in order to provide near term benefits to traffic. The two types
of signal coordination presented in the following subsection include time- of-day timings and
special events /incident conditions.
Time- of -Dav Schedules
The most benefit to coordination will probably be achieved by better fitting patterns to traffic
flow. A close examination of flow patterns along the priority corridors might find that coordination
could be ended earlier where the predominant type of traffic is commuter and congestion is
relatively light. In these areas, the onset of peak volume is relatively sudden, and it dissipates
rapidly. On the other hand, in commercial and /or retail districts, the peak volume is attained
somewhat slower, and it also dissipates slower. This means that signal coordination is useful
for longer periods than on routes that are primarily commuter.
To match coordination patterns to traffic flow, the collection of data on volumes and time trends
is necessary. Directional traffic counts should be performed for typical 7-day periods, with 15-
minute resolution. Sample locations should include coordinated arterials in business, residential,
and mixed land use areas, and some side- street approaches in the same areas. These data
should be examined to determine times of day when a coordination pattern is best suited.
New time of day signal timing plans will be developed as part of this project at the Phase 1
signalized intersections.
■ Special Events /Incidents:
Another area of potential benefit is in the area of special events or incidents, particularly when
arterial intersections are adjacent to highways. Traffic patterns differ from typical weekday traffic
patterns, and are sometimes disrupted by lane closures, diversions, or accidents. These
situations can be better served with traffic- responsive or traffic- adaptive schemes.
' Traffic- responsive: Traffic- responsive operation consists of comparing traffic conditions against
pre - determined factors to see which coordination pattern is the best fit. The system then selects
the appropriate pattern from its library of patterns and implements it. That pattern stays in effect
' until traffic conditions change enough to warrant another pattern that provides better
performance.
All the traffic conditions and coordination patterns must be pre - determined. If a combination of
' factors cause conditions that were not anticipated, it is possible that the timing patterns
implemented by the system are in fact poorly suited for the traffic conditions result, the exactly
opposite of the intended operation. Also, traffic- responsive operation depends heavily on traffic
flow detectors and their polling rate. If special event or incident patterns have already been
developed for manual activation, then a traffic- responsive system would allow those patterns to
be implemented without operator intervention.
' Considerable data are required to make the traffic- responsive operation work effectively. It is
recommended that data on traffic demand and signal system patterns from past events be
compiled and evaluated. From there, parameters should be set so that the signal system can
' look for particular patterns of traffic flow and respond by implementing the appropriate signal
pattern. The icons® system that the City is proposing to replace the VMS does support traffic
responsive operation. However, it is not envisioned that the City would be developing traffic
' responsive timing plans at the near future.
ITERIS

Traffic- Adaptive:
Another potential method of matching signal operations to traffic flow is through the use of an
adaptive traffic signal system. An adaptive system reacts to detector information in real time,
changing offsets and splits as new traffic data is received. Sophisticated systems try to predict
what conditions will be, based on historical data, so that new signal patterns will be in place in
time for the changed conditions. Traffic- adaptive operation allows the system to continually
change cycle lengths, offsets, splits and phase sequence to best serve the existing or predicted
traffic conditions. There is no required background cycle length, so intersections do not have to
operate on the same cycle length. Traffic- adaptive operation requires more effort and expertise
during implementation, but requires less effort to maintain the coordination thereafter, and is
better able to react to changing conditions.
Many agencies in California have implemented traffic adaptive systems, which are either
operational or under evaluation, including SCOOT installation in Anaheim; SCATS in Santa
Rosa, Menlo Park, Sunnyvale and Chula Vista; and OPAC in downtown Santa Ana. The icons°
system that the City is proposing to replace the VMS does not support traffic adaptive operation,
and it is not envisioned that the City would implement traffic adaptive in the foreseeable future.
4.2.2 Traffic Management Center (TMC)
The key function of the TMC (sometimes also called a Traffic Operation Center, or TOC) is to
provide traffic management staff with the capability to interface with the traffic control
equipment/ system and to monitor traffic information from a central location. A TMC can be
something as simple a single desktop computer connected to one traffic signal controller to an
elaborate room that includes a large video wall for viewing closed circuit television images,
operator workstation(s), and space for communication and other miscellaneous equipment. A
TMC does not require a large dedicated space but is really a function of the number of
signalized intersections and other field elements deployed.
The TMC typically serves as the critical
communication hub between the field
elements and other departments. The
TMC will usually have the ability to
control signalized intersections, CCTV
cameras, Dynamic Message Signs
(DMS), and other field devices
deployed by an agency. The TMC
system can also monitor priority
requests at signals, if transit priority
and /or emergency vehicle operation are
deployed. In addition, the staff could
interface with partner agencies and
share information across jurisdictional
boundaries in anticipation of incidents WIR
affecting mobility in the region. For
example, signal operation access, and CCTV camera
modification can be done by one or multiple agencies,
an agency.
ITEI2IS
Page 25 of 117
video and control, can be set such that
or by one or multiple departments within
A portion of the City's existing traffic engineering office space supports an existing operational
center comprised of the VMS -330 system and a VMS signal status board. This area will be
upgraded to support a new TMC as part of this project. The proposed layout to upgrade the
existing TMC will be included in the draft ITS, as well as recommended layouts for the future
TMC if the new City Hall is constructed.
REMOTE WORKSTATIONS
As an extension of the TMC, remote workstations can be provided such that either partial or full
functionality of the TMC workstations is accessible from the remote workstations. This requires
that the operator workstation software be developed as a client/server application, with clients
connecting to the server for data exchange and device control. Communication between the
server and clients will normally use a TCP /IP protocol and the system communication
infrastructure must be developed to support this protocol.
' The icons* system does support remote workstations if determined as a need for the City of
Newport Beach. Connection between the Newport Beach TMC and the remote workstations will
be supported by a LAN connection and will require coordination with Newport Beach IT.
' 4.2.3 Video Surveillance
With the use of closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras, operators are able to provide manual
intervention and, if required, dispatch equipment and personnel to repair equipment failures or
' assist in incident removal in a coordinated method. The surveillance images can also be shared
with other departments (e.g., fire department, police department, etc) and the potential exists for
integration with partner agencies as well.
' Within the realm of video monitoring there are two types of camera deployments, CCTV with
panitiltizoom (PTZ) capability, and fixed view cameras. Both camera types serve a unique
implementation need and each has strengths and weaknesses that should be discussed prior to
' design or implementation. For example, both camera types can be used for intersection and
corridor monitoring, although fixed view cameras require one unit (camera) per approach or
direction and typically would not be equipped with zoom capability. CCTV with PTZ cameras
' typically require one unit (camera) per location, and have the capability to change view angles
as well as zoom into potential incidents.
CCTV WITH PTZ
' CCTV cameras with PTZ (also called surveillance cameras) are recommended for installation at
strategic locations along priority corridors, including both at rural segments of the priority
corridors and at key intersections along priority corridors. PTZ control will allow system
' operators to focus in and see traffic movement, provide incident verification, and potentially
record live scenes, either digitally on a TMC server or as recorded video, for planning studies.
In areas in which privacy concerns might be an issue, PTZ stops can be placed in order to limit
' the viewing angles. Figure 4.2 presents a typical CCTV camera and a sample of video from a
CCTV camera. Two CCTV cameras are planned for deployment as part of the Phase 1 project.
Additional CCTV cameras are recommended to be deployed at priority intersections as part of
future phases.

FIXED VIEW (FM CAMERAS
Fixed view cameras operate in a similar fashion to CCTV cameras as described above, albeit
without the capability to pan, tilt, or zoom. They are typically deployed in areas where the need
to see visually adjacent areas is not needed. For example, a fixed view camera would be
focused at a parking garage entry/exit ramp or intersection approach. Although they can be
used as roadway monitoring cameras, the use of fixed view cameras is typically associated with
security and/or video detection installations. In case of vehicle detection, these cameras can
have dual functionality or signal operations and video surveillance.
Currently, the City employs primarily inductive loops for vehicle detection, but does use video
' detection at two intersections; San Miguel Dr at Port Sutton -Yacht Coquette (full video
detection) and Bison Ave at Bayswater Dr. (east leg has VID over a Caltrans bridge). As the
City deploys an Ethernet -based communication system, it is recommended that it consider
' additional video detection installations. Video from the video detection installation can be
transmitted to the TMC and can be used as surveillance video as well as video detection. It will
also allow the City to maintain the detection system from the TMC which should result in lower
long -term maintenance costs.

4.3 ADVANCED TRAVELER INFORMATION SYSTEMS (ATIS)
Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) disseminate transportation - related information
' to the traveling public. The method of dissemination can range across several different media
including both agency -owned devices (e.g., Dynamic Message Signs (DMS), agency web page,
etc.) as well as privately operated services (i.e., radio reports, private web sites, news media,
' etc.). The information is typically distributed in one of two ways; pre -trip information or en -route
information. Pre -trip traveler information is meant to capture people prior to beginning their trip
(either locally or regionally). This is usually done through the use of media outlets (local news,
' public access cable TV), kiosks, or the Internet. Once the traveler has begun their journey,
information received en -route can be given through any number of devices including several
different roadside elements (e.g., DMS, telephone services such as 511, etc.) as well as through
' ITERIS
Page27 of 177 -- -
in- vehicle media services (e.g., radio, navigation systems). Some of the key ATIS elements are
summarized below.
4.3.1 Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) and Trailblazers
DMS offer a valuable technique to provide motorists with real -time traffic information and, if
desired, alternate route selection advisories in advance of key decision points along the
freeways and along a primary arterial corridor, or when using portable DMS for parking /traffic
management in support of special events. DMS can provide timely, accurate and reliable en-
route information to motorists when installed at critical locations and when properly operated
and maintained. Recently, agencies have begun using DMS to broadcast AMBER ALERTS,
providing motorists with information regarding child abductions. DMS can be fixed installations
(permanent DMS) or portable DMS as presented in Figure 4.3.
Permanent DMS that are placed along arterials are typically 5 ft x 10 ft in size and mounted
approximately 18 feet high (based on Caltrans specification that provides for truck clearance).
Portable DMS are typically 2 to 2 '/2 ft. x 4 ft., and include a generator (battery or diesel fuel) for
power. Portable DMS may also include solar panels to charge batteries and may include a cell
phone to change pre - programmed messages from a remote location (e.g., TMC).
Communication to the fixed signs can be done via dial -up, twisted pair cable, wireless or fiber
optic connections from a central location (e.g., TMC).
The purpose of Dynamic Trailblazer signs (Figure 4.3) is to guide vehicles along a diversionary
route during an incident or special event based on a pre- identified routing. The process of re-
routing the traffic should be coordinated between the dynamic message sign (DMS) and
' Dynamic Trailblazer elements of the system. Traffic re- routing should occur when an incident is
detected on the freeways. Re- routing should occur simultaneously on arterial roadways during
the incident to provide drivers with alternative surface routes to avoid the incident.
' Due to the City's standards for esthetics on City right -of -way, it is likely that permanent DMS
cannot be deployed. However, as the City expands it operations of ITS it is recommended that
City staff evaluate the need for portable DMS to aid in management of special events.

4.3.2 Web Page
' This type of service will provide traffic- related information over the Internet, either over an
agency's web page or a private web page (http: / /may.commuteview.net). The
information provided most frequently includes a color -coded speed map of the primary corridor
' freewaylarterial system, video feeds from CCTV cameras, and links to other transportation
services, such as local transit agencies. Specialized information may include average speeds,
travel times, and incident information. The City's system could automatically generate all the
' required traffic related pages, and make them available to the City's web server for
dissemination on the City's main web site. In this manner, dissemination of this content will be
controlled and maintained by the City's IT department on the City's web server. This web server
will already contain all the appropriate security (firewall) to prevent unauthorized access. An
' example of a traffic web page developed by Iteris, Inc. (Los Angeles /Orange County region) is
provided in Figure 4.4.
' For the City, it is assumed that any traffic related information could be shared with OCTA and /or
Caltrans for dissemination on any future plans for regional traffic data distribution.

4.3.3 Media Services
MOUrK W,Ysm
"'`w♦� 4t]EMd
fi Mnnmda
Media Services refers to the use of television and radio, to broadcast local traffic information to
the City of Newport Beach and surrounding area residents. For these services, local traffic
information from the City's system is provided to third party broadcasters for dissemination to
the general public.
One option for the City of Newport Beach is to implement a local media service using the City's
Community Access Television (CATV). Many local agencies broadcast local information to its
residents via cable providers (Time Warner (channel 3) and Cox (channel 30) for Newport
Beach residents). The CAN channel can be used to broadcast live traffic information at peak
traffic hours on its local Public Access channel. This broadcast could include a graphical map
representation of current traffic conditions including freeway speeds and arterial traffic volumes
for the area. Additionally, incident data and selected CCTV camera images of local and freeway
traffic could be displayed. The CATV signal format for this video feed will be provided as an
NTSC signal, a one -way video feed that does not pose a security risk to the local agency's
system. An example of a CAN image (City of El Segundo developed by Iteris, Inc.) is provided
in Figure 4.5.

' Once broadcasters receive this data content, they in -turn may display it directly as -is or they
may add their own value to the information (analysis, additional public information,
advertisement, etc.) and disseminate the information through their own private channels (i.e.,
' radio, television, etc.), or share it with other providers. Typically, the interpretation of data is
done prior to distribution to a particular media service. If video is transmitted, then media
service will broadcast its interpretation of the image.
' For the City of Newport Beach, a CATV broadcast of local, current traffic conditions could
provide Newport Beach residents with real -time data prior to departing home.

' 4.3.4 Information Displays
Information displays is a service typically provided through the use of kiosks placed at strategic
t locations to provide travelers with a reliable source of pre -trip traffic and traveler information.
For example, information displays could be deployed at modal transfer locations (transit centers,
rail centers), so that travelers can visually receive information relative to traffic conditions on
' roadways in the region as well as freeways in the area. Information displays can take many
different shapes. They can be as simple as small scrolling LED bar signs, large electronic
boards containing several lines of text, large projection monitors which depict roadway
congestion information, or kiosks. A kiosk could include a graphical user interface (GUI) that
' provides touch screen interaction by the user. Access to this data will allow travelers to make
informed decisions with regard to travel route, time and mode prior to their departure.
' Kiosks quite frequently also contain or provide links to other services and databases, such as
transit schedules and phone numbers to local business. An example of a transit center kiosk is
illustrated in Figure 4.6.
' ITERIS - --

For the City of Newport Beach, kiosks displaying real -time traffic information could be deployed
at locations including the beach areas, City Hall, Fashion Valley Mall, and major employment
centers.

4.3.5 511 Telephone Traveler Information Systems
In July 2000 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) designated 511 nationally for use
in disseminating traveler information and the FHWA has been successfully promoting
implementation at the state level. 511 is a three digit dial telephone number to access traveler
information. 511 itself is not a traveler information system, but merely a translation to a seven
(or 10) digit telephone number, which then accesses a traveler information system. The FCC
designation did not mandate that 511 be deployed, nor did it include funding for deployments.
Deployment has been left to the states or regional and local agencies to make funding and
deployment decisions.
511 is now available in 35 states and many metropolitan areas (circa 2007). The national 511
coalition estimates that 511 is available to 67 percent of the population. The goal of the 511
effort is provide a consistent traveler information service from state -to -state so that travelers
unfamiliar with an area in which they are traveling may easily access traveler information.
Typically, the 511 service allows a traveler to choose which route or area they are interested in
through voice recognition technology or telephone keypad entry selections. The types of
information generally available include road - weather conditions, construction, unanticipated
congestion, road closures and crashes or other major events.
The 511 system is typically operated by the state transportation department or Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO) for the region and can be updated at a central location such as a
Transportation Management Center (TMC) or by remote workstation. Systems vary in level of
detail and method of operation, but are usually coupled with an Internet web site capable of
providing the same information, typically in greater detail. The 511 and Internet systems usually
rely on the same transportation management databases to ensure consistency and timeliness of
the information. These systems can achieve optimal performance if they are operated in
coordination with other information dissemination strategies such as Dynamic Message Signs
(DMS) and / or Highway Advisory Radio (HAR) systems.
ITERIS
In addition to roadway, weather and traffic information, 511 systems can also be used to direct
users to:
• transit information (usually
operator)
• other ridesharing information
• tourism information
• events and parking
• driving directions
• incident reporting
• personalized traffic reporting
• customer feedback
transfer to the customer service center of the transit
The Los Angeles County Service Authority for Freeways and Emergencies (LA SAFE), in
partnership with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), Riverside County
Transportation Commission (RCTC), San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG),
Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC) and the State of California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans), will be developing a 511 system for southern California. Once
implemented, Newport Beach could provide local traffic data for regional dissemination via the
511 system, as well as receive current traffic data from other agencies. Other than an
understanding that the 511 system will be developed by others over the next few years, there is
no action required by the City at this time.
4.4 ADVANCED PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (APTS)
APTS related ITS solutions enhance the transit alternative compared to single- occupancy
driving. The expectation is that by using advanced technology, transit providers could respond
to the primary concerns voiced by transit users. Transit would achieve enhanced reliability,
efficiency, and greater assurance of passenger safety. There are several ways that ITS can be
applied to the transit category of transportation elements to improve operational efficiency,
increase customer satisfaction, and enhance transit safety. It is anticipated that any transit
related improvements will be led by OCTA. Improvements and strategies listed below are
provided for the City's information.
The following are several, specific, transit - related ITS project concepts. Each of these should
result in improved transit service, either in terms of customer satisfaction, operational
management, or cost effectiveness. Similar in cost magnitude to traffic signal re- timing efforts
(i.e., relatively low -cost, as compared to infrastructure- or system - related improvements), Transit
ITS has the capability to pay great dividends in operational effectiveness for a rather modest
capital outlay. Such projects will have much larger- than - average benefit / cost ratios.
'NEXTARRIVING BUS'SIGNAGE
For a passenger waiting curbside for a bus, minutes seem to turn into hours because of
uncertainty of when (or if) the next bus /shuttle will be arriving. Compounding this perception is
the belief that the last bus passed by only a minute or so earlier, and therefore "who knows"
when the next one will come. A service provided by NextBus Information Services, or similar,
can eliminate this uncertainty, posting accurate anticipated arrival times; "next bus will arrive in x
minutes' on continually- updated changeable message sign displays (similar to scrolling LED
signs). This service tracks buses with GPS transponders, and uses a proprietary algorithm to
calculate the arrival forecasts.
ITE IS
Page 33 of 117 December 200
I
1
' The next bus arrival information is disseminated wirelessly to equipped transit displays, and also
over the Internet to web browsers and web - capable cell phones. It should be noted that these
systems are owned and operated by transit systems. However, opportunities exist for the City to
' work with transit agencies in order to provide reliable and efficient transit services that benefit
the residents of the region.
TRAFFIC SIGNAL PRIORITY FOR TRANSIT VEHICLES
' Transit vehicles encounter traffic congestion during both peak hours and off -peak hours. At
some of the critical intersections, it has been observed that long queues cause additional transit
time. This variability leads to customer mistrust of the service as a reliable and convenient way
to travel, which can lead to loss of ridership. Bus signal priority technology improves transit
operations by reducing trip time and delays. As buses approach a traffic light, a signal is sent to
the intersection controller requesting priority based on specific, user defined requirements (e.g.
' the bus is behind schedule by more than a certain number of seconds). Within limits potentially
set to match the actual traffic at each intersection, the green time for the transit vehicle
approach can be shifted to provide an early green or extended green. If developed properly,
signal priority will allow the transit vehicles to be granted priority service at selected intersection
' and the long queues restricting the bus's progress could be flushed through the troublesome
signalized intersection(s). This would result in far less schedule disruption due to traffic
congestion, and the reliability (and customer satisfaction) of the transit service would improve.
' This type of system would require coordination with OCTA as it requires hardware at the
signalized intersection and on the transit vehicle.
AUTOMATIC VEHICLE LOCATION
Transit operations represent a problem to managers in terms of tracking route efficiency,
dispatching paratransit and demand responsive vehicles, and security. Automatic Vehicle
Location (AVL) systems utilize Global Positioning Systems (GPS) devices installed on the
' transit vehicle, cellular or radio communication for data transmission between the transit vehicle
and the transit management center, and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to display the real -
time location of each equipped member of the fleet. AVL systems allow transit system
' operators and managers to track their vehicles and also generate customized reports detailing
information such as on -time efficiency, vehicle speeds and route adherence. Immediate access
to a vehicle's location allows for more efficient dispatch in paratransit and demand responsive
transit service. Additionally, many systems allow drivers to alert transit system dispatchers to
security or safety issues with a push -button Mayday System. Lastly, AVL systems with GPS
are also being developed to include transit signal priority.
4.5 SYSTEMS INTEGRATION
System integration is likely the most important component of any ITS deployment, because
without it both the system manager and users will typically only receive a portion of the intended
' and desired system -wide benefits. System integration brings the "pieces of the puzzle" together
to form a composite picture of the current conditions, and disseminates that information to the
proper recipient. There are two separate layers of integration; system and regional levels.
Although system integration is an important element of the overall system, it is the one piece
' which the motoring public cannot truly see since it focuses on making things work together.

�l
SYSTEM LEVEL INTEGRATION
' This type of integration includes taking data prepared by one ITS element or subsystem, and
converting that data into information through methods such as data smoothing, synthesizing,
etc. Once this process is complete, the information is then transferred to another subsystem for
' use, such as broadcasting it to the public through either pre -trip or en -route traveler information
methods. The process of successfully and automatically moving the data /information from one
subsystem to another is commonly referred to as system integration. For this to occur, the data
' must be prepared using a methodology understood by another subsystem with little or no errors
within the process. For the City of Newport Beach, examples of system -level integration include
the following:

The deployment of the new traffic control software that is envisioned to support not only the
new traffic signal controllers, but also the CCTV cameras and other deployed ITS devices.
The deployment of new communications, in cooperation with Newport Beach IT that will
serve to support multiple City departments including Traffic.
REGIONAL LEVEL INTEGRATION
This type of integration is similar to system level integration, although on a much larger scale
and sometimes with reduced detail. With partnering agency communication and coordination,
data sharing between agencies can become a reality. One element of regional integration can
be seen through data sharing of the City traffic information with OCTA and neighboring
agencies. The City of Newport Beach can implement an interface to a regional data center for
the exchange of traffic data (congestion, incidents, CCTV surveillance video). The City could
also provide roadway congestion information to the regional data center for area -wide
dissemination. The City could become part of a much larger system giving the ability to
disseminate their information to a much broader audience. Conversely, the City will be able to
obtain data from other agencies.
For the City of Newport Beach, examples of regional -level integration include the following:
• Sharing of CCTV camera video feeds with Caltrans
• Developing coordinated signal timing plans with adjacent local agencies and / or
Caltrans
• Deploying transit signal priority in cooperation with OCTA

5.0 NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND SOLUTIONS
The ITS strategies highlighted in Section 4.0 provide possible solutions to assist the City in
traffic and congestion management. Where appropriate, the possible application of the various
ITS strategies for the City of Newport Beach were identified. While all of these ITS strategies
are potential solutions for improving transportation management in general, not all are ideal
when addressing the specific transportation management needs of the City of Newport Beach.
Transportation management needs are tailored to the characteristics of the City's existing traffic
signal system and the City's future needs to expand and/ or enhance that system.
In order to properly define the needs of a system, it is essential to define the signalized
' intersections and related corridors that would be most impacted from changes in the existing
system. With the identification of these priority intersections and corridors, the needs of the
City's traffic signal system and applicable solutions can be better suited.
' 5.1 PRIORITY CORRIDORS & INTERSECTIONS
Priority corridors are those roadways that have or will have a significant role in the
transportation network. For the City of Newport Beach, the priority corridors listed below were
' identified as primary corridors in Section 2.0. The priority corridors are illustrated in Figure 5.1.
(1) Newport Boulevard (8) Bristol Street North/ Bristol Street
(2) Coast Highway (9) San Joaquin Hills Road
' (3) Jamboree Road (10) Newport Coast Drive
(4) MacArthur Boulevard (11) Ford Road / Bonita Canyon Drive
(5) Irvine Avenue (12) Superior Avenue
' (6) Balboa Boulevard (13) Bison Avenue
(7) San Miguel Drive
In addition to the priority corridors noted above, the City of Newport Beach has several
' signalized intersections that can be classified as priority intersections. The priority intersections
were identified based on incident data, provided by Newport Beach Police, and signal
operations, as assessed by Engineering.
' Identifying the priority intersections is crucial in ITS planning for the following reasons:
• ITS Deployments: Priority intersections, particularly those with a high frequency of
incidents, warrant video surveillance provided by CCTV cameras. CCTV cameras will
allow City staff in monitoring priority intersections regularly and response to incidents
appropriately, such as the type and quantity of emergency vehicles if there is a vehicular
' accident.
• Signal Timing: Priority intersections often impact the development of signal timing plans.
Priority intersections often drive the cycle lengths along a corridor. Vehicle and
sometimes pedestrian volumes are often high along both the main corridor and the
intersecting street. High volumes require higher splits which result in higher cycle
lengths.
• Communications: It is important to ensure that priority intersections are supported by
communications to allow City staff to monitor traffic conditions. As noted above, priority
intersections will benefit from video surveillance and connection to traffic control
software for operations of the traffic signal controller. Both of these items require
communications to the signalized intersection.

Because of the higher volumes for each movement that is typical of priority corridors, the odds
of vehicle right of way conflicts are likely to increase. Priority intersections usually have a higher
incident frequency rate. Intersections listed on Table 5.1 were ranked based on intersection
reports from 1999 through 2005.
As noted above, due to the high volume and incident frequency rates, these priority
intersections are typically prime candidates for video surveillance with CCTV cameras. The
priority signalized intersections are listed below on Table 5.1 and illustrated in Figure 5.1.
Priority intersections that are listed twice are identified in bold; no intersection was listed in all
three categories. Along the priority corridors and at priority intersections, there is a need to
improve traffic management operations offered through the deployment of a new traffic
signal system and CCTV cameras.

5.2 COMMUNICATIONS NEEDS
The main focus of this project is to develop a Master Plan for the deployment of a
communications system for the Newport Beach Engineering department. This includes
identifying the limitations of the City's existing communications network and providing
recommendations for a new communications systems that would accommodate future
equipment and operational improvements such as traffic signal controllers and CCTV cameras.
' The City currently utilizes a combination of hard wire (copper SIC), leased lines (T1 lines), and
phone drops to manage their traffic signal system. The following subsections provide additional
details concerning the needs and possible solutions to the City's existing communications
' network.
For each communication system, possible needs have been highlighted for review and
' discussion purposes. Each of these needs were discussed with City staff to determine which
needs and solutions are most applicable to the City.
5.2.1 T1 Leased Lines Communications Network
' The T1 leased lines communications network in the City of Newport Beach supports both the
traffic signal system and the Citywide network connecting various City facilities and departments
to City Hall. The entire network is maintained by the City's IT department. City facilities connect
' to the T1 line circuits at seventeen locations in the City. Six of the seventeen T1 lines are also
used to support communications from the VMS -330 traffic signal system to traffic signal
controllers at select signalized intersections. The T1 locations are listed on Table 5.2 below.

The current traffic signal communications system is severely limited by the amount of bandwidth
(1.544 Mbps) that the T1 lines provide. The six T1 lines that the traffic signal system rely on are
all operating at full capacity.
To support any expansion of the existing traffic signal system, as well as the deployment of
CCTV cameras at select intersections, there is a need to increase the amount of bandwidth
offered by the communications system.
5.2.2 Phone Drop Communications Network
The City has phone drops at five locations to provide communications between the Newport
Beach TMC and either individual intersections or groups of intersections interconnected with
twisted pair cable. The phone drop locations are listed below along with the signalized
intersections supported.

like to upgrade the phone drops with interconnect. This interconnect could be comprised of
fiber optic cable (preferred) or wireless communications such as spread spectrum radio, if line of

sight exists. Licensed microwave would not be necessary to replace a phone drop. As such,
there is a need to upgrade phone drops with interconnect.
5.1.3 Ethernet (Digital) Leased Line
Telecommunication companies offer Ethernet, or Digital, leased lines that are similar to T1
leased lines, but offer more bandwidth. At the date of this report, the City was in discussions
with Cox Communications to implement Ethernet leased lines at key City facilities. To date, it
appears that Cox will implement a DS3 leased line between the Central Library and City Hall in
time to support the Phase 1 project. The DS3 leased line as a bandwidth of 44 Mbps that will
be shared between City IT and City Traffic. Additional Ethernet leased lines are envisioned for
other City facilities.
5.2.4 Microwave Radio Communications Network
The City of Newport Beach owns a 320 -foot tall microwave tower shared jointly with the County
of Orange. As noted in Figure 5.2, a portion of the tower is dedicated for use by the County of
Orange; the remaining portion is available for City use. Newport Beach's IT department
currently uses the tower as a repeater for a 100 Mbps microwave link between General
Services and City Hall.
ITERIS --
Pace 40 of 117 _._. _...
I
The IT department has confirmed that line of sight exists between the tower and the City's
' Central Library, where the top 100' of the tower is currently visible. The communications tower
will use existing wireless communication to transmit the data to City Hall. Wireless
communications, in the form of licensed microwave, could be used to establish communications
' between the City Hall and the Central Library to replace the leased line communications. Under
this approach, the microwave transmission would replace the T1 leased line at the Central
Library as the primary form of communications to City Hall, and fiber optic cable would replace
' the twisted pair cable to the signalized intersections. This will provide high- bandwidth
communications between the TMC and the signalized intersections. This approach could be
employed at other T1 locations where line of sight exists to the communications tower. As such,
there is a need to investigate the use of the microwave tower to replace the T1 leased
lines for Traffic operations. A preliminary line of sight analysis was conducted as part of this
project and is presented in Section 6.

INTER- DEPARTMENT /AGENCY COORDINATION
' Any proposed use of the tower will require coordination among several City departments and
the County of Orange. Additionally, any communication links that are implemented are
envisioned to share bandwidth between the City's IT department and Engineering department.
' The City IT department has expressed the desire to retain the T1 leased lines for backup
communications which could also apply to traffic data. However, due to bandwidth limitations of
' the T1 lines, this back up function would only be applicable to the traffic signal controllers and
not CCTV cameras. Lastly, the IT department will still be responsible for maintaining the
wireless system and it is essential that close coordination with the City's IT department be
' maintained.
5.3 ATMS NEEDS
The communications needs presented in Section 5.2 also provided a cursory discussion on
' some of the City's traffic management needs including the upgrade of the City's traffic signal
system. This section provides additional detail on the City's traffic management needs by
applying some of the advanced traffic management systems (ATMS) solutions listed in Section
4.0 to address the specific needs of the City. The solutions aim to improve traffic management
capabilities (in addition to upgrading the communications system) and improve transportation
safety and emergency services. Additionally, the specific ATMS needs, such as the need for
CCTV cameras, will drive the communication requirements.
For each ATMS strategy, possible needs have been highlighted for review and discussion
purposes. As with the communications needs, each of these needs will be discussed with City
staff to determine which needs are truly appropriate for the City. The finalized list of ATMS
needs will aid in subsequent project reports and the Master Plan.
5.3.1 Traffic Signal System
' Traffic signal systems are often only as good as the user's ability to troubleshoot bugs in the
system and maintain aging systems. Without maintenance support, the traffic signal system will
often operate with reduced capabilities, often to the detriment of the traveling public. The traffic
' signal system includes the traffic signal controllers and the central traffic signal management
system.
' As detailed in the existing conditions report, the City currently operates and maintains a total of
112 intersections. The City utilizes a combination of 820/820A traffic signal controllers in NEMA
cabinets and Type 170 traffic signal controllers in Type 332 cabinets. The majority
' (approximately 52 of the 91) of the 820/820A traffic signal controllers are supported by the
Multisonics VMS -330 central traffic signal system utilizing a combination of twisted pair cable,
phone drops, and leased lines. The VMS -330 system has proven to be a very robust system,
' but has extended its life expectancy and no longer meets the City's traffic management needs.
Additionally, the VMS -330 system and traffic signal controllers are no longer supported by the
vendor, an additional limitation of the existing system because replacement parts are becoming
more and more scarce. Therefore, there is a need to implement a new commercially off the
' shelf (COTS) traffic signal system from a vendor who will be able to offer years of
product support. There is also a need to implement a new traffic signal system that can
support traffic signal controllers installed in NEMA cabinets.

' In addition to the 91 820/820A traffic signal controllers, the City operates Type 170 traffic signal
controllers at 21 intersections. The VMS -330 system does not have the capability to support
Type 170 traffic signal controllers. The City is open to replacing the Type 170 traffic signal
' controllers with new controllers, but would like to retain the existing cabinets to minimize
replacement costs. Therefore, there is a need to implement a new traffic signal system that
can support traffic signal controllers installed in Type 332 cabinets.

Due to the needs identified, the City has already initiated the procurement of a new signal
system. The VMS will be upgraded in stages — co- existing with the new system (icons®) until
all controllers are upgraded and integration is completed. For the first phase of the project, a
total of 21 intersections will be upgraded with a combination of 2070L or ASC /3 controllers.
These intersections will be the first City intersections online with the new icons® system.
For future upgrades, scheduling the controller change -outs should be planned well in advance
to cause the least disruption of traffic and will be detailed in the Master Plan.
TRAFFIC SIGNAL COORDINATION
Developing coordinated traffic signal timing plans is an essential component of a traffic signal
system, and the overall improvement of traffic flow and signal coordination is critical to the urban
corridors within the system. Section 5.1 of this report identifies some priority corridors for
consideration in incorporating ITS where feasible. Key metrics for improvement in traffic flow
include levels of service (LOS) and travel times along corridors. Signal coordination requires
detailed traffic studies and optimization of traffic signal coordination. Additionally, timing plans
developed for a VMS system do not follow the same format as other systems and controllers.
Therefore, there is a need to translate and transfer existing signal timing plans with the
deployment of new traffic signal controllers and as the new traffic signal system is
expanded. Additionally, there is a need to update signal coordination plans in areas where
traffic patterns and development have changed.
As part of the goals of this project, the Ci ty
intersections in phases. With the controller
optimized timings are also proposed. Phase 1
5.3.2 CCTV Cameras
of Newport Beach has identified upgrades for
and communications upgrades, new updated
includes 21 intersections in the City.
Traffic surveillance is critical to managing incidents and optimizing signal operation. The City of
Newport Beach currently has two CCTV cameras installed within City limits. Although the
cameras are operated and maintained by partnering agencies, the City of Newport Beach has
no access to these cameras. As such, there is a need to deploy CCTV cameras along
priority corridors and priority intersections to aid in traffic management and operations.
t Two CCTV cameras are currently proposed for the first phase of the project. These cameras,
with the communication upgrades, will provide the City with enhanced surveillance of the
signalized intersections.

5.3.3 Traffic Management Center (TMC)
Currently, the City of Newport Beach's central traffic signal management system is located at
City Hall in an area shared with offices / workstations used by City staff in the Engineering
Department. Due to space constraints, the City will not expand the footprint of the existing
TMC. Considering the proposed system upgrades and additional workstations, there is a need
to upgrade the TMC area to include new consoles (desks) and a video wall. Any new TMC
upgrades will need to retain the VMS control cabinet and wall display, unless the display
can be replicated on a modern display. The recommended layout for the TMC upgrades will
be detailed in the Master Plan.
In the long -term, the City Hall maybe relocate to a new facility on a site not yet finalized. The
Newport Beach TMC is envisioned to be included in the new City Hall. Accordingly, there is a
need to plan for the relocation of TMC to a new City Hall facility, both in terms of
communications from the TMC to the field devices and space requirements for the new
TMC. The recommended layout for the new TMC will be detailed in the Master Plan.
5.3.4 Inter- Agency Coordination
CALTRANS
The City of Newport Beach's streets and highway network is supported by three Caltrans
facilities — State Routes (SR) 55, 73, and 1 (Coast Highway). Within the City of Newport Beach,
both SR 55 and SR 1 are Caltrans operated arterials. In order to keep traffic from both backing
up onto the freeway and onto City streets, as well as coordinated signalized intersections owned
by both the City and Caltrans, it is important to consider coordination with the Caltrans
signalized ramps and signalized intersections. Doing so will contribute to overall reduction in
congestion on both state routes and the City streets. Therefore, there is a need to establish
coordinated signal timing plans and operations between the City's signals and the
Caltrans signals.
EMERGENCY SERVICES
Currently, the City's Police department operates CCTV cameras at select locations for public
safety purposes. As the Engineering department begins to deploy CCTV cameras for traffic
management, it will be possible share the video surveillance with the Police Department. This is
considered a long -term need and may be addressed at a future time.
5.4 ATIS NEEDS
When the City of Newport Beach begins to deploy a new traffic signal system and CCTV
cameras, the City will begin to have the necessary tools to disseminate traffic information to the
public, who in turn can use the information to make trip planning decisions.
For each ATIS strategy, possible needs have been highlighted for review and discussion
purposes. Each of these needs will be discussed with City staff to determine which needs are
truly appropriate for the City. The finalized list of ATIS needs will aid in subsequent project
reports and the Master Plan.

5.4.1 Traffic Data Exchange
The free flow of traffic information between agencies and regions allows for greater efficiency in
the operation of traveler information systems and aids regional transportation and traffic
management. It will be possible for the City to exchange traffic signal system data and CCTV
images with other agencies such as Caltrans. Information sharing between the local and
regional agencies will provide the City of Newport Beach with access to relevant information
about traffic and road conditions at the periphery of the City's boundaries.
Traffic congestion in southern California is rarely an issue solely at the local agency level.
Typically, in order to improve traffic management capabilities, coordination with Caltrans is
essential for reducing congestion. Specific to the City of Newport Beach, the City is supported
by two major highways which are operated and maintained by Caltrans — SR 55 and SR 73.
Major incidents and construction related detours will result in diversion of freeway traffic onto
neighboring City arterials. These forced or partial closures require coordination between
Caltrans and the City of Newport Beach if the impacts to traffic, often including secondary
incidents, are to be minimized. If the City decides to share traffic data with neighboring
agencies, there is a need to establish an interface with each of these agencies, or a
regional interface that would be led by Caltrans District 12 and/or the Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA).
5.4.2 511 System
Effective 511 systems rely on traffic data that is current and comprehensive. A 511 system will
soon be developed for the southern California region, including Orange County. This 511
system, called Motorist Aid and Traveler Information System ( MATIS), is envisioned to be a joint
project between the Los Angeles County Service Authority for Freeways and Emergencies (LA
SAFE), OCTA, Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), San Bernardino
Associated Governments (SANBAG), Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC), and
the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Ultimately, MATIS can be a tool
to help City of Newport Beach address the portion of congestion generated by non - recurring
traffic using City streets to bypass freeway traffic.
The system is envisioned to incorporate a call -in phone service and a web site where users can
plan daily commutes, access transit providers, find a carpool partner, and learn about bicycling
as a commute option. With the traffic information on the site, a user can monitor the traffic
conditions before hitting the road or if they are already on the road, 511 can provide up- to -the-
minute traffic updates. There is a need for the City of Newport Beach to be aware of this
project as it is envisioned the City will be able to exchange data with MATIS within a few
years.
5.5 APTS NEEDS
Even though the City does not directly operate the transit in the City, working with the Orange
County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is essential for improving transit in the City. OCTA has
been pro- active in proposing and implementing transit technologies to improve transit service.
' Though these efforts do not directly impact routes in Newport Beach, successful implementation
may lead to expansion of these efforts to transit lines in the City.

A few of the transit needs and technologies are presented below. For each APTS strategy,
possible needs have been highlighted for review and discussion purposes. Each of these
needs will be discussed with City staff to determine which needs are truly appropriate for the
City. The finalized list of APTS needs will aid in subsequent project reports and the Master
Plan.
5.5.1 Transit Signal Priority & Bus Rapid Transit
Transit signal priority (TSP) and bus rapid transit (BRT) are two transit technologies that work
with the traffic signal controller and communication system to provide enhanced bus service.
TSP and BRT essentially decrease the amount of stop time that a bus would typically encounter
at a red light. This strategy has been gaining popularity nationwide and regionally as more and
more arterials become alternate routes to congested freeways.
OCTA is currently in the process of designing and implementing three BRT routes in Orange
County. The three routes do not run through Newport Beach. However, the success of these
routes may lead to additional routes being selected as BRT corridors. Routes in the City with
high ridership volumes may be candidates for future BRT corridors. It is important to note that
these projects generally include regional and federal funds to implement TSP and BRT,
including funds for controller upgrades, CCTV cameras and communications. Therefore, there
is a need to ensure the traffic signal system and traffic signal controllers deployed in
Newport Beach can support transit priority.
5.5.2 Public Transportation Service & Ridership
Public transit can provide commuters and travelers with an option to leave their cars behind and
ride the bus, which can aid to reduce the overall levels of congestion within a corridor. On -time
rates and overall transit system efficiency can be improved through the use of technologies
such as Automatic Vehicle Location and Next Arriving Bus Signage. These improvements can
make transit more attractive to commuters and travelers, having the benefit to increase transit
ridership. The recommendations below are for future consideration and coordination efforts with
OCTA to improve transit operations. However, it is assumed that OCTA would lead any such
efforts, so there is only a need for the City to be aware of these strategies.
Automatic vehicle location (AVL) used for scheduling and tracking on -time bus and light
rail arrival, providing information about delays to travelers and making operational
changes when vehicles become delayed or disabled, responding to emergencies.
Electronic Fare Payment provides transit users with electronic fare cards that allow for
seamless and cashless travel between the regional and local transit provider.
• Traveler Information (see 511)
Transit Security uses alarms and surveillance cameras to protect riders from criminal
activity on transit vehicles at transit stations /stops.

6.0 COMMUNICATIONS ANALYSIS
A communication system is typically the most expensive and most essential component of any
local agency deploying ITS. The City of Newport Beach's current communication system,
comprised of twisted pair cable, leased lines and phone drops, no longer meets the City's
transportation management needs as it plans to implement a new traffic signal system, CCTV
cameras, and other strategies.
One challenge the City faces when discussing the deployment of a new communication system
is geography. The Newport Beach City Hall is located on the northern portion of Balboa
Peninsula. From a communications perspective, City Hall is very isolated. Only nine of the
City's 112 signalized intersections are located on the peninsula, and there is no communication
infrastructure (conduit or cable) that connects the City Hall to these other signals, as illustrated
in Figure 6.1. Most peninsula signals communicate with City Hall via phone drops. Others are
wired to Caltrans Field Master at Via Lido. The intersection of Balboa Blvd at Rive Ave is not
connected to either of them. From a cost and practicality standpoint, it is not feasible to install
new conduit and hard wired communications (fiber) from the City Hall to the field devices, which
would require installation of new conduit on both City and Caltrans right -of -way. For these
reasons, it is necessary to conduct a detailed communications analysis and recommend a
communication system that will meet the City's traffic management needs. The following
sections focus on these needs.
6.1 COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
From a technical standpoint, it is assumed that the new communications system will support
Ethernet (IP) protocol, which is the new standard for ITS communications. Ethernet
communications can be supported by numerous communication mediums including fiber optic
cable, twisted pair cable, spread spectrum, microwave and cellular (Wi -Fi). However, fiber is
preferred as it is the most secure form of communications and provides the highest amount of
bandwidth.
6.2 HARDWIRED COMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURE
All ITS elements in the field need to communicate with central servers, typically located at the
TMC, for access and control of the field elements from the City TMC. Each broad type of device
has different bandwidth requirements and there are many communications options available.
Typically, CCTV cameras require the most bandwidth and traffic signal controllers require the
least. However, for optimum performance, the traffic signal controllers require second -by-
second communications. For Newport Beach, Ethernet communications will provide up to 100
Mbps of bandwidth per intersection, far more than will actually be required now or in the future.
To enhance the existing communications infrastructure, minimize costs, and provide increased
bandwidth for the proposed and future ITS elements, it is recommended that fiber optic cable
replace the existing network of twisted pair cable that serves as the signal interconnect cable
(SIC). It is envisioned that the removal of the existing twisted pair cable will free up sufficient
capacity in the existing conduit and that the amount of new conduit required would be
minimized. The installation of fiber optic cable may require the upgrade of select pull boxes, and
some new conduit segments will likely be required to provide communications to intersections
where twisted pair cable currently does not exist.

To reduce construction costs, it may be possible to retain select segments of twisted pair cable
where high- bandwidth communications are not required. For example, if the last one or two
signalized intersections at the end of a communications link, it may prove cost effective to retain
the twisted pair cable. In this case, Ethemet data would be transmitted over twisted pair cable.
When implementing this type of solution, it is important to note that the bandwidth drops
significantly over the distance of twisted pair cable, and the amount of bandwidth that can be
achieved will vary by Ethernet switch vendor. RuggedCom Ethernet switches, the vendor of
Ethernet switches to be employed in Phase 1, can achieve a bandwidth of 35Mpbs at 800 feet.
The bandwidth reduces to 1 Mbps at 8200 feet. For the City of Newport Beach, the minimum
bandwidth that should be considered is 10 Mbps, which equates to a length of twisted pair cable
between signalized intersections of 3900 feet.
6.3 HIGH - BANDWIDTH LEASED COMMUNICATIONS
As previously stated, the City utilizes T1 leased lines at various locations to provide
communications between City facilities and the City Hall. The continued use of these existing
T1 leased lines for Traffic operations is not desired as the bandwidth (1.544 Mbps) offered by
the T1 lines is insufficient. However, it might be possible to work with the telecom or cable
companies to implement higher- bandwidth leased lines such as a DS3, which provides 44.7
Mbps of bandwidth. If each field location implemented one DS3 line, with an equal number of
DS3 lines at the City Hall, enough bandwidth would be available to support the communication
requires of both Traffic and IT, at least in the immediate term. The downside of a high -
bandwidth link such as DS3 is cost, which is very high and incurred on a monthly basis. The
6.4 WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
The combination of fiber optic cable and twisted pair cable, if retained at select locations, to
1 support Ethemet -based communications for traffic signal controllers, CCTV cameras, and other
possible ITS devices, will meet the City's requirements for communications between field
devices. What remains to be determined are the required number of fiber stands for each
' segment. This will be detailed in a subsequent technical memorandum as well as the Master
Plan.
' However, the deployment of fiber optic cable does not address the issue of the existing T1
leased lines which are currently operating at full capacity. If retained as is, the T1 leased lines
would place a serious bottleneck in the bandwidth of the communications system and negate
' the benefits of installing fiber optic cable. In order to achieve the City's transportation
management needs, higher bandwidth communication is required than what can be achieved
with the T1 leased lines. Supplementing the leased lines with microwave wireless radios is one
possible solution.
' The City currently operates 100 Mbps microwave communication links between General
Services and City Hall that includes a communications tower located at Utilities Department
' (949 W 16' Street). The height of the existing tower is 320'. In support of this project, the City IT
department is investigating upgrading the microwave radio system at this tower to provide a 1
Gigabit (Gbps) communications link between the tower and City Hall. In support of this effort, a

contractor hired by the City IT department, conducted a line of sight analysis between the tower
and the Central Library and found that the top 100 feet of the tower was clearly visible.
In support of the Master Plan project, additional line of sight analyses were conducted using the
latitude and longitude of the communications tower and the six T1 locations that support the
traffic signal system, an assumed antenna height for each Ti location, and Motorola's Path
Finder software. The antenna height assumed at the hubs ranged from 15' to 35', depending
upon the existing facility. The criteria of the locations is listed in Table 5.1, and the line of sight
analysis for each location is presented in detail below.

6.4.1 Line of Sight Analysis
The T1 locations listed in Table 6.1 are currently used to support communications for the VMS
traffic signal system. The line of sight analysis was conducted at each of these T1 locations to
assess the possible replacement of the T1 connection with wireless communications. For each
location, the software used provides a topology cross - section to evaluate the line of sight
between the tower and each T1 location, and a map illustrating the communications path. Note
that this analysis does not take tall vegetation or buildings into consideration, but does provide a
very good initial assessment. If line of sight is confirmed based on this line of sight analysis, it is
recommended that the City conduct a field line of sight assessment. Figure 6.1 above provides
a graphic location of the HUBS referred to below.
' HUB LOCATION 1: CENTRAL LIBRARY
The distance between the tower and the Central Library is approximately 4 miles. As previously
mentioned, from the library, the top 100' of the tower is clearly visible. A graphical summary of
' the additional line of sight analysis conducted from the tower to the Central Library is illustrated
in Figure 6.2.
HUB LOCATION 2: FIRE STATION #3
' Line of sight analysis between the tower and fire station #3, yielded similar results as those for
the Central Library. Figure 6.3 shows both the graphical and aerial views for the line of sight
between the tower and Fire Station #3.
HUB LOCATION 3: FIRE STATION #7 (POLICE STATION)
Line of sight analysis between the tower and Fire Station #7, which is also a City Police Station,
produced similar results as those for the Central Library. Figure 6.4 shows both the graphical
' and aerial views for the line of sight between the tower and Fire Station #7.

the graphical and aerial views for the line of sight
HUB LOCATION 5• NEWPORT COMMUNITY CENTER (NCCC) OR FIRE STATION #8
There are two possible locations to support Hub Location 5 - the NCCC and Fire Station 8. The
preferred location is the NCCC because the existing twisted pair cable currently terminates near
the NCCC. Based on the line of sight analysis, there is no line of sight from the tower to NCCC
or Fire Station #8. Obstructions from the topography of the area prevented a clear line of sight
between the two locations. Graphic summaries of the line of sight analysis from both the NCCC
and fire station #8 to the tower are illustrated in Figures 6.6 and 6.7.
An alternative line of sight analysis was conducted from both the NCCC and Fire Station #8 that
would uses Fire Station #7 as a repeater location. Based on the analysis, there is no line of
sight for this alternative to communicate with the NCCC as illustrated in Figure 6.8.
Similar to the results for the NCCC, there is no clear line of site from Fire Station #8 when
employing Fire Station #7 as a repeater. This is illustrated in Figure 6.9. Based on this analysis,
establishing a wireless communication link to this portion of the City will not be feasible and
alternative communications will need to be considered.
6.4.2 Summary of Line of Sight Analysis
The City of Newport Beach IT Department has confirmed line of sight between the Central
Library and the tower. Additionally, the preliminary line of sight analysis conducted as part of
this project determined that line of sight should be achievable between the tower and fire
stations #3, #7, and #6; but not with the NCCC or Fire Station #8. Based on this analysis, it is
recommended that the City continue to pursue the use of wireless communications to
implement high- bandwidth communications between the Newport Beach TMC and the field
devices.
The dependence on clear line of sight when using some types of wireless communications is
often a deciding factor in whether or not to use the technology. The proposed Newport Beach
Utilities Yard Tower will be the main communications point for the hub locations located in
various spots of the City. At the hubs, antennas will be installed to communicate data via
wireless communications back to the Tower hub antenna. From the tower hub, communication
with the Traffic Management Center (TMC) will also be accomplished via wireless
communications. Data transmitted includes all traffic signal data as well as video and other data
from ITS field devices.
For the signalized intersections and field devices currently supported by the T1 leased line at
the NCCC, the recommendation is to install fiber optic cable in existing conduit along San
Joaquin Hills Road that terminates at the Central Library. Overall, the possible use of

7,0 DEPLOYMENT STRATEGIES
The City's existing traffic signal central system, the VMS -330, supports nearly half of the City's
signalized intersections. These intersections are equipped with 820/820A traffic signal
controllers. The remaining signalized intersections operate a combination of Type 170 traffic
signal controllers and 820/820A traffic signal controllers. The signalized intersections operating
820/820A controllers not supported by VMS -330 run on stand -by mode. The signalized
intersections operating 170 controllers, which are not compatible with VMS -330, communicate
at the local level through Feld masters. With the Traffic Signal Communications Master Plan
and Phase I PSBE project, Citywide upgrades of the existing traffic signal central system and
the traffic signal controllers have been initiated. This includes the following:
• Replacement of the existing VMS -330 system with an icons® system, by Econolite
• Replacement of the existing traffic signal controllers with new controllers compatible
with icons®
• Deployment of new Ethernet -based communications
• Deployment of video surveillance system to monitor traffic operations
• Deployment of a temporary TMC at the existing City Hall and possible layouts for an
upgraded TMC at the new City Hall
Citywide improvements have been broken down into eight phases. Intersections were grouped
' based on geographic locations and intersection similarities. Phases were prioritized based on
volumes and incident frequency rates provided by the City and discussed in the previous
sections. The limits of work and various improvements per phase are detailed in the subsequent
subsections.
Projects corresponding with each phase may include communications upgrades, traffic signal
controllers upgrades, CCTV cameras and other ITS device deployments. Other proposed
improvements may include the installation of GPS clocks for synchronization purposes or the
retention of the phone drops at isolated locations, if no other cost - effective means of
communications can be achieved.
The proposed project phases and associated limits are summarized below. Figure 7.1 provides
a graphic illustration of each phase and limits.

Phase 1 is envisioned to include the design for the installation of new traffic signal controllers,
CCTV cameras, and communications upgrades within the project limits. Six intersections will
receive new ASC /3 controllers in NEMA cabinets, two will receive new ASC /3 controllers in new
Type "O" cabinets, and thirteen will receive new Model 2070L controllers in Type 332 cabinets.
Two locations have been identified for new CCTV camera deployments. Three additional
locations have also been identified as candidate CCTV camera locations, but are not currently
planned for installation as part of Phase 1. All proposed improvements are summarized on
Figure 7.2.
The following six intersections currently operate with 820/820A controllers and will be upgraded
with ASC /3 controllers:
(1) MacArthur Blvd / Bison Avenue (4) Avocado Ave / San Miguel Dr
(2) MacArthur Blvd / Vilaggio (5) Avocado Ave / Farallon Dr
(3) MacArthur Blvd / Ford Rd- Bonita Canyon Dr (6) Avocado Ave / Corona Del Mar Plaza
The following two intersections currently operate with Model 170 controllers in Type 332
cabinets and will be upgraded with ASC /3 controllers in Type "O" cabinets.

' Based on a list of operationally challenged intersections (determined by volume and accident
frequency) provided by the City, five potential CCTV camera locations were examined. The two
CCTV camera locations listed below will be implemented as part of Phase 1 improvements.
' (1) Coast Hwy I MacArthur Blvd (2) MacArthur Blvd /San Miguel Drive
The eight additional CCTV camera locations listed below warrant CCTV cameras but currently
' are not funded as part of Phase 1. Additional recommendations have been prioritized based on
volume, operations observations, and comments from City staff. It is recommended that the City
implement CCTV cameras at these locations at a future time.

' Phase 1 intersections currently communicate with twisted pair copper signal interconnect (SIC)
in existing conduit. The Phase 1 intersections on Coast Highway are on a Caltrans Field Master
system. The twisted pair cable terminates at the Central Library and employs T1 leased lines,
maintained by Newport Beach IT, to communicate to the VMS -330 at City Hall. A recent
agreement with COX Business Services will provide the City with additional bandwidth for nearly
half of the City. The existing T1 leased lines currently being used for communication between
' the Central Library and the VMS -330 at City Hall will be upgraded to communicate with a DS3
(T3) line. These upgrades are expected to occur within the next 3 to 6 months.
Existing twisted pair copper SIC along Coast Hwy from Marguerite Ave to Newport Coast Dr will
' be retained and connect to the proposed fiber optic Ethernet system via the Ethernet Switch at
Coast Highway and Marguerite Ave. Existing twisted pair cable and conduit, damaged prior to
this project, along a short segment of Coast Highway between Poppy Ave and Morning Canyon
' Rd will need to be replaced. New Ethernet Switches and associated equipment for twisted pair
over DSL communications will be installed in the controller assemblies. Intersections along this
Coast Highway from Marguerite Ave to Newport Coast Dr will communicate back to the TMC
' through the same DS3 (T3) line from the Central Library to City Hall.

Three signalized intersections along MacArthur Blvd between Bonita Canyon Dr and Bison Ave
' will be upgraded with new ASC /3 traffic signal controllers. These signals will be integrated into
the Ethernet system as part of the Phase 2 project. For Phase 1, the Ethernet switches will be
furnished to the City for use as spares until needed for Phase 2.
' Along the remaining Phase 1 sections, communications upgrades involving the replacement of
existing twisted pair copper SIC in existing conduit with new fiber optic cable are currently in
' design. New Ethernet switches and associated equipment for the fiber optic cable will also be
installed in the controller assemblies.
The fiber optic cable will terminate at the Central Library and communications will be supported
' by the high- bandwidth DS3 communication link, implemented by Newport Beach IT, to complete
the communications link to the Newport Beach TMC. The communication architecture is
illustrated in Figure 7.3.
' 7.1.1 Phase 1 TMC Upgrades
This section presents the proposed upgrades to the Existing Newport Beach TMC based on the
' proposed ITS deployments. The existing TMC has an area of approximately 300 square feet,
which currently contains the VMS equipment rack, VMS signal board, and four workstations.
The upgraded TMC will retain the existing VMS equipment rack and signal board. All other
' workstations, computer equipment and furniture will be reconfigured to make space for the
proposed elements. The TMC upgrades include the following:
' • New furniture for two workstations with one flat panel for each workstation. Each
workstation will be integrated to control all the functions of the TOC including the video
wall and operational software.
' • Video wall consisting of one 40 -inch flat panel display with up to two 19 -inch flat panel
displays on each side. The flat panels are easily wall mounted and will save a great deal
of space. The video wall will display signal map information as well as video from the
' CCTV cameras.
• Space for a 19 -inch rack, either as a stand -alone communication rack or integrated into
the workstation console, to support some of the TMC hardware.
• New file cabinets for storage.
' • New wall to enclose the area and separate the TMC from the remaining cubicles in the
office.
t Details provided above will be completed as part of Phase 1 to support the Phase 1 ITS
installations. The Phase 1 TMC upgrades are for the TMC within the existing City Hall location,
as detailed in the Phase 1 Project Design Report. Section 9 provides details on the future plans
' for the City's Traffic Management Center.

7.2 PHASE 2: JAMBOREE ROAD & BISON AVENUE
Phase 2 includes improvements at fourteen signalized intersections within the following limits of
work:
• Jamboree Rd from Coast Hwy to MacArthur Blvd
• Bison Ave from Jamboree Rd to MacArthur Blvd
Intersections included in Phase 2 are listed below
(1) Jamboree Rd I MacArthur Blvd (8) Jamboree Rd I San Joaquin Hills Rd
(2) Jamboree Rd / Bristol St North (9) Jamboree Rd I Santa Barbara Dr- Newporter Way
(3) Jamboree Rd I Bristol St (10) Jamboree Rd / Island Lagoon

(6) Jamboree Rd / Bison Ave (13) Bison Ave / Country Club Dr
(7) Jamboree Rd I Eastbluff Dr - Ford Rd (14) Bison Ave / Residencia - Bayswater
Proposed improvements for the Phase 2 intersections are envisioned to include controller
replacements, CCTV camera deployments, and communications upgrades. Proposed
improvements are preliminary and can be revised based on field investigations and future needs
that may arise after the Master Plan is completed.
Type 2070 controller replacements at intersections currently operating with Type 170 controllers
are proposed at the following locations:
(1) Jamboree Rd / Bristol St South (2) Jamboree Rd I Bristol St North
ASC /3 controller replacements at intersections currently operating with 820/820A controllers are
proposed at the following locations:
(3) Jamboree Rd / MacArthur Blvd (9)
Jamboree Rd / Santa Barbara Dr- Newporter Way
(4) Jamboree Rd / Bayview Way (10)

One operationally challenged intersection, Jamboree
Rd at Eastbluff Dr - Ford Rd, and six
additional intersections were identified for Phase 2. These seven intersections were noted as
potential candidates for CCTV camera deployments
and were prioritized based on volume,
operations observations, and City comments. Field investigations of the seven locations should
be conducted prior to finalizing the CCTV camera locations for Phase 2. The seven potential
CCTV camera deployment locations are as follows:

(4) Jamboree Rd I San Joaquin Hills Rd
All intersections included in Phase 2 currently communicate with twisted pair copper SIC. The
twisted pair cable terminates at the Police Department and employs T1 leased lines, maintained
by Newport Beach IT, to communicate to the VMS -330 at City Hall. With the COX business
services agreement with IT (previously mentioned in Phase 1), the T1 leased line connection
will be upgraded to a 1011.7 Ethernet Line Service (ELS).
With existing conduit already underground, costs to upgrade this segment to fiber optic cable
will be considerably less than a completely new installation. Existing twisted pair copper SIC
should be replaced with new fiber optic cable. However, the existing twisted pair copper SIC
must be retained as it will continue to support communications with signalized intersections
planned for upgrade in Phase 3. New Ethernet switches and associated equipment for the fiber
optic cable will be installed inside the controller assemblies. All recommended improvements for
Phase 2 are illustrated in Figure 7.4.
' As part of the Phase 2 activities, the Phase 1 segment of MacArthur Blvd from Bonita Canyon
Dr to Bison Ave, previously isolated, will have a connection to the TMC via the Ethernet switch
and fiber optic cable installed at the controller cabinet at MacArthur Blvd and Bison Ave.

' Four priority intersections were identified for Phase 3. These intersections are potential
candidates for CCTV camera deployments. Locations have been prioritized below based on
volume, operations observations, and City comments. Field investigations of the four locations
' should be conducted prior to finalizing the CCTV camera locations for Phase 3. The four
potential CCTV camera deployment locations are as follows:
' PRIMARY LOCATIONS SECONDARY LOCATIONS
(1) Irvine Ave - Campus Dr./ Bristol St North (4) Bristol St South I Bayview PI
(2) Bristol St South 1 Birch St
' (3) Irvine Ave I Mesa Or
Portions of Phase 3 currently communicate with twisted pair copper SIC. Along all of the
MacArthur Blvd segment and most of the Campus Dr segment, the intersections communicate
' with twisted pair copper SIC. The twisted pair cable terminates at the Police Department and
employs T1 leased lines, maintained by Newport Beach IT, to communicate to the VMS -330 at
City Hall. Additionally, the signalized intersections along Irvine Ave at Orchard Dr and Mesa Dr
utilize a phone drop for communications to the VMS -330 at City Hall. The phone drop is located
at the intersection of Irvine Ave and Mesa Dr, and the two intersections communicate with each
other through twisted pair copper SIC.
' Existing twisted pair along Birch St from MacArthur Blvd to Von Karmen Ave, Dove St from
Campus Dr to Birch St, and Quail St from Campus Dr to Birch St will be retained and connected
to the Ethernet system via fiber /copper Ethernet switches.
' In Phase 3, except where mentioned above, the existing twisted pair copper SIC should be
replaced with new fiber optic cable. The fiber optic cable can be installed in existing conduit
' where existing, using the existing SIC as a pull wire. A portion of Phase 3 involves the
installation of new fiber optic cable in new conduit. Of note is the requirement for new fiber
across SR -73 at Irvine Ave / Campus Dr. The segments requiring new conduit to support the
' fiber optic cable are listed below. Note that some locations may not warrant the cost of new
conduit to establish communications. At these locations, wireless communications such as
spread spectrum Ethernet or WI -FI communications could be employed as a cost savings
measure.
• Irvine Ave / Campus Dr from Quail St to Orchard Dr
• Irvine Ave from University Dr to Santa Isabel Ave (Candidate wireless installation)
' • Orchard Dr from Irvine Ave to Birch St (candidate wireless installation)
• Bristol St South from Irvine Ave to Birch St (candidate wireless installation)

' New Ethernet switches and associated fiber optic or copper over DSL equipment inside all
controller assemblies are required for Phase 3. Figure 7.5 highlights the recommended
improvements for Phase 3.
' Upon completing the communication gaps in Phase 3, the existing phone drop at Irvine Ave and
Mesa Dr will no longer be necessary. With the COX Business Services agreement previously
mentioned, the T1 leased line connection from the Police Department to City Hall will be
' replaced with a 10/1.7 ESL. However, once Phase 4 is implemented, the fiber optic cable
installed for Phase 3 will be spliced to the Phase 4 fiber, to provide a connection to Fire Station
7, which is where the data from the Phase 3 field elements will ultimately terminate.

' 7.4 PHASE 4: SUPERIOR AVENUE & IRVINE AVENUE
Phase 4 improvements are proposed at thirteen intersections within the following limits of work:
• Superior Ave from Coast Highway to Industrial Way
' • Placentia Ave from Hospital Rd. to 151h St
• Irvine Ave from 17'h St / Westcliff Dr to Santiago Dr
• Dover Dr from Cliff Dr to Westcliff Dr
' Intersections included in Phase 4 are listed below.
(1) Irvine Ave I Santiago Dr (8) Placentia Ave / 151 St
' (2) Irvine Ave / Highland Dr- 200 St (9) Hospital Rd I Placentia Ave
(3) Irvine Ave I Dover Dr -1911 St (10) Superior Ave / Ticonderoga St - Nice Ln

' (5) Dover Dr I Cliff Dr (12) Superior Ave / Placentia Ave
(6) Dover Dr / Castaways Ln -16"1 St FUTURE INTERSECTION
(7) Dover Dr I Westcliff Dr (13) Superior Ave I Hoag Health Care
t The future signal at Superior and Hoag Health Care is slated for construction in late 2008/ early
2009.
Proposed improvements for the Phase 4 intersections are envisioned to include controller
' replacements, CCTV camera deployments, and communications upgrades. Proposed
improvements are preliminary and can be revised based on field investigations and future needs
that may arise after the Master Plan is completed.
' Operation of the future traffic signal at Superior and Hoag Health Care is recommended to run
with an ASC /3 controller. ASC /3 controllers are also proposed to replace existing 820/820A
controllers for all existing Phase 4 intersections.
t Five intersections were identified along the corridor as potential candidates for CCTV camera
deployments. Locations have been prioritized below based on volume, operations observations,
and City comments. Field investigations of the five locations should be conducted prior to
' finalizing the CCTV camera locations for Phase 4. The five potential CCTV camera deployment
locations are as follows:
PRIMARY LOCATIONS SECONDARY LOCATIONS
(1) Irvine Ave I Westcliff Dr -171h St (3) Hospital Rd I Placentia Ave
(2) Superior Ave 1 Placentia Ave (4) Dover Dr I Westcliff Dr
(5) Irvine Ave I Dover Dr -19ffi St
tNearly all of the Phase 4 intersections currently communicate with twisted pair copper SIC. The
twisted pair cable terminates at Fire Station 6 for the signals along Irvine Ave / Westcliff Or /
' Dover Dr, and at General Services for the signals Superior Ave I Hospital Rd signalized
intersections. T1 leased lines, maintained by Newport Beach IT, are employed to communicate
to the VMS -330 at City Hall. The existing twisted pair copper SIC should be replaced with new
fiber optic cable.

Most of the fiber proposed for Phase 4 will be installed in existing conduit, and the existing SIC
can be used as a pull wire. The segment of proposed fiber along Irvine Ave between Santa
Isabel Ave and Santiago Dr requires the installation of new conduit. This segment of fiber is only
necessary if backbone Gigabit Ethernet communications is implemented (see Section 10 for
details). As a cost savings measure, the twisted pair can be retained and employ Ethernet over
twisted pair cable in lieu of new fiber along Superior Avenue. This will result in less bandwidth
for the signalized intersections in this area, but should be acceptable given the number of field
elements supported.
New Ethernet switches and associated equipment for the fiber optic cable will also be installed
in the controller assemblies. To ensure seamless integration with the existing City signal
system, the fiber optic cable installed for Phase 4 should include enough slack cable to connect
to the new signal at Superior Ave and Hoag Health Care prior to the turn -on date. Figure 7.6
highlights the recommended improvements for Phase 4.

and can be revised based on field investigations and future needs that may arise after the
' Master Plan is completed. All intersections included in Phase 5 currently operate with 820/820A
controllers. It is recommended that all Phase 5 existing controllers be replaced with new ASC /3
controllers.
' There were no operationally challenged intersections identified for Phase 5. However, in
support of overall transportation management activities, CCTV cameras are recommended at
' four locations as noted below. Locations have been prioritized as secondary CCTV installation
locations based on volume, operations observations, and City comments. Field investigations of
the four locations should be conducted prior to finalizing the CCTV camera locations for Phase
5. The four potential CCTV camera deployment locations are as follows:
' SECONDARY LOCATIONS
(1) San Joaquin Hills Rd I Spy Glass Hill Rd (3) Newport Center Dr West I Santa Cruz Dr
' (2) Newport Center Dr / Newport Center East & West (4) San Joaquin Hills Rd / Marguerite Ave
All of the Phase 5 intersections are currently connected with twisted pair copper SIC. The
existing twisted pair copper SIC should be replaced with new fiber optic cable. The fiber optic
' cable can be installed in existing conduit using the existing SIC as a pull wire. All of the fiber
optic cable installed in Phase 5 will splice to fiber previously installed as part of Phase 1 and
Phase 2. New Ethernet switches and associated equipment for the fiber optic cable will also be

An existing phone drop at San Joaquin Hills Rd and Spy Glass Hill Rd currently supports the
1 intersections of San Joaquin Hills Rd at Spy Glass Hill Rd, Marguerite Ave, Crown Dr North, and
San Miguel Dr (part of Phase 1). The four intersections communicate with each other through
twisted pair copper SIC. The phone drop allows communication to the four signals from the City
1 traffic management center (TMC). Existing twisted pair copper SIC should be replaced with new
fiber optic cable. As with the segments listed above, it is recommended that the fiber optic cable
be installed in existing conduit with the existing SIC used as pull wire. Upon completing the
1 communication gaps in Phase 5, the existing phone drop would no longer be necessary. Figure
7.7 highlights the recommended improvements for Phase 5.
As a cost savings measure, the twisted pair can be retained and employ Ethernet over twisted
1 pair cable in lieu of new fiber in the Fashion Island area, including along San Joaquin Hills Rd.
between Jamboree Rd. and Santa Rosa Dr., and along all of the Newport Center Drive
segments. This will result in less bandwidth for the signalized intersections in this area, but

FUTURE INTERSECTIONS
(12) Pelican Hill Rd South/ Resort Entrance
(13) Pelican Hill Rd/ Lower Villas
The future signals of Pelican Hill Rd South at Resort Entrance and Pelican Hill Rd at Lower
Villas are currently in construction.
Proposed improvements for the Phase 6 intersections are envisioned to include controller
replacements, CCTV camera deployments, and communications upgrades. Proposed
' improvements are preliminary and can be revised based on field investigations and future needs
that may arise after the Master Plan is completed.
' Although design of the future traffic signals at Pelican Hill Rd is completed, if at the time Phase
6 is in the design phase, they do not operate with ASC /3 controllers, it is recommended that
these two intersection controllers are replaced with ASC /3 controllers. ASC /3 controllers are
also proposed to replace existing 820/820A controllers for all existing Phase 6 intersections.

One operationally challenged intersection was identified for Phase 6 - Newport Coast Or / Ridge
Park Rd. In support of overall transportation management activities, CCTV cameras are
recommended at three additional locations as noted below. Locations have been prioritized
based on volume, operations observations, and City comments. Field investigations of the four
locations should be conducted prior to finalizing the CCTV camera locations for Phase 5. The
four potential CCTV camera deployment locations are as follows:
PRIMARY LOCATIONS SECONDARY LOCATIONS
(1) Newport Coast Or / Ridge Park Rd (2) San Joaquin Hills Rd I Newport Coast Dr
(3) Newport Coast Or / Pelican Hill Rd North - Ocean Ridge Dr
(4) Newport Coast Or / Sage Hill
Currently, there is a mix of existing twisted pair cable and fiber optic cable along portions of the
Phase 6 corridors. Existing fiber optic cable is installed along a small portion of Newport Coast
Dr from Gas Recovery Access to San Joaquin Hills Rd. New fiber optic cable is planned for

Existing twisted pair cable is currently installed along Newport Coast Dr from San Joaquin Hills
Rd to Vista Ridge Rd and from Gas Recovery Access to Sage Hill. Existing twisted pair cable is
currently installed along San Joaquin Hills Rd from Newport Coast Drive to Spyglass Hills Rd.
The existing twisted pair cable does not currently communicate to the VMS -330 system at City
Hall. The existing twisted pair copper SIC along these corridors should be replaced with new
fiber optic cable and terminate at the NCCC. The fiber optic cable can be installed in existing
conduit using the existing SIC as a pull wire. New Ethernet switches and associated equipment
for the fiber optic cable will also be installed in the controller assemblies.
In support of the existing conditions, no conduit was identified to exist along Coast Highway
between Newport Coast Dr. at Provence and Newport Coast Dr. at Pelican Hills Rd North.
However, based on discussions with City staff, it is believed that conduit and twisted pair cable
exists along this segment. Existing conduit and twisted pair copper SIC along this segment will
be retained and communication to the TMC will be accomplished through connection with the
Phase 1 intersections along Coast Hwy and the DS3 connection. New Ethernet switches and
associated equipment for copper over DSL will be installed in the respective controller
assemblies.
The fiber optic cable installed in Phase 6 will be spliced to the Phase 5 fiber installed along San
Joaquin Hills Rd. The fiber optic cable will terminate at the NCCC and be supported by a high -
bandwidth communication link (10/1.7 ELS), implemented by Newport Beach IT, to complete the
communications link to the Newport Beach TMC. This will provide a primary and redundant
communications path to the City Hall.
Figure 7.8 highlights the recommended improvements for Phase 6.

Six of the ten Phase 7 intersections currently communicate with twisted pair copper SIC. At
' these locations, the existing SIC should be removed and replaced with new fiber optic cable.
Existing conduit can be used for the new fiber optic cable and the existing SIC can be used as a
pull rope for the fiber optic cable. Existing SIC will be replaced with new fiber optic cable along
' 32nd St from Balboa Blvd to Newport Blvd and along Newport Blvd from 32"d Street to 21'1 St.
The fiber optic cable will terminate at City Hall.
' One of the ten intersections — Balboa Blvd at River Ave is not connected to the other
intersections with hardwire communications. It is recommended that the gap between this
intersection and the adjacent intersection of either Balboa Blvd and 32nd St or Balboa Blvd and
' Coast Hwy (shared intersection with Caltrans) be closed with new conduit and fiber optic cable.
Because of the intersections close proximity to Caltrans right -of -way, work done to close the
communication gap will require coordination with Caltrans. If conflicts cause the fiber optic
upgrade option to be costly, wireless communication options can be explored.
Two existing phone drops are included in Phase 7. These phone drops are recommended to
remain in use if only traffic si nal data needs to be communicated back to the TMC. One is
' located at Balboa Blvd and 15 St and communicates information from that signal only, back to
the TMC. The other is located at Balboa Blvd and Palm Ave. This phone drop is connected to
Balboa Blvd and Main St with existing twisted pair copper SIC and communicates information
' for both signals back to the TMC from the phone drop at Palm Ave. If the City decides to
implement CCTV cameras or wants to discontinue the use of phone drops at these two
locations, wireless communications are recommended. Additional wireless communications
between Balboa Blvd/ Newport Blvd and 21" Street and Balboa Blvd and 151' St will close the
' remaining communication gap.
Of the Phase 7 intersections, only six currently communicate back to City Hall — three via
t twisted pair SIC and the other three via phone drops; an additional three communicate to the
Caltrans system with a Master at the intersection of Newport Blvd and Via Lido. These three
intersections, Newport Blvd at 32 "d St, 301" St, and 28' St will require coordination with Caltrans
t in order to provide the TMC with any communication to these signals.
At the locations where twisted pair cable in conduit does not exist, it is recommended to utilize
spread spectrum Ethernet or other wireless communications. At these locations, Ethernet
' switches with an integrated spread spectrum radio are recommended.
New Ethernet switches and associated equipment for the fiber optic cable is also recommended
in each of the Phase 7 intersection controller cabinets that will communicate through the fiber
optic cable.

7.8 PHASE 8: BONITA CANYON DRIVE & SAN MIGUEL DRIVE
Phase 8 includes 10 intersection contained within the following project limits:
• University Drat La Vida
' Ford Rd from Jamboree Rd to Chambord
• San Miguel Dr from San Joaquin Hills Rd to Ford Rd
• Jamboree Rd / Marine Ave at Bayside Dr
' The following intersections are included in Phase 8:
' (1) Ford Rd 1 Canyon Island Dr- Southern Hills Rd (6) San Miguel Or I Port Sutton Or - Yacht Coquette
(2) Bonita Canyon Or 1 Buffalo Rd - Mesa View Or (7) San Miguel Or I Spy Glass Hill Rd - Eastgate Or
(3) Bonita Canyon Or I Prairie Rd (8) San Miguel Or / Pacific View Or
(4) Bonita Canyon Or I Chambord (9) University Or / La Vida - Baypoint Or
' (5) San Miguel Or I Port Ramsey PI (10) Bayside Or / Marine Ave - Jamboree Rd
Proposed improvements for the Phase 8 intersections are envisioned to include controller
' replacements, CCTV camera deployments, and communications upgrades. Proposed
improvements are preliminary and can be revised based on field investigations and future needs
that may arise after the Master Plan is completed.
' ASC /3 controllers are proposed to replace the existing 8201820A controllers for all existing
Phase 8 intersections.
' In support of overall traffic management, two. intersections (one is identified for Phase 1
controller and communications improvements) were identified as potential CCTV camera
locations. Both intersections were prioritized as secondary intersections based on operations
' observations, volumes, and City comments. Field investigations should be conducted prior to
finalizing the CCTV camera locations for Phase 8. The two potential CCTV camera locations are
listed below.
SECONDARY LOCATIONS
(1) Bayside Or / Marine Ave - Jamboree Rd
' (2) Bonita Canyon Or / Prairie
Except for the four intersections along San Miguel Dr and the intersection of Bayside Dr and
Marine Ave - Jamboree Rd, the Phase 8 intersections communicate with existing twisted pair
' copper SIC. At these locations, the existing SIC should be retained. The intersections along
Bonita Canyon Rd will connect to the TMC via the Police Department through connections with
Phase 1 and 2 project segments. Ford Rd at Canyon Island Dr and University Drive South at
' Baypointe Dr/ La Vida will communicate to the TMC via the Police Department with connections
to the Phase 2 segment. Additional equipment and Ethernet switches to facilitate twisted pair
copper SIC communication over DSL will need to be installed at the respective controller
assemblies.
' ITERIS _ _
One of the four intersections along San Miguel Dr at Pacific View Dr is an existing phone drop
location. This location only communicates information from the intersection to the TMC. With the
installation of the new conduit and fiber optic cable along the four San Miguel Dr intersections, it
is recommended that the phone drop no longer be used.
It is recommended that new conduit and fiber optic cable be installed along San Miguel Dr and
to Bayside Dr at Marine Ave — Jamboree Rd to close the existing communication gaps of Phase
8. If these improvements are found to be too costly upon further field and utility investigations,
wireless communications and utilizing the existing phone drop may be an option. For this
segment, communication to the TMC via the NCCC will be accomplished with a splice at San
Joaquin Hills Rd and San Miguel Dr.
As a cost savings measure, it may be possible to implement wireless communications as a cost
saving measure along San Miguel Dr. This would require the use of repeaters to achieve line of
' sight between signalized intersections. This will also result in less bandwidth for the signalized
intersections in this area, but should be acceptable given the number of field elements
supported.
' New Ethernet switches and associated equipment for the fiber optic cable is also recommended
in each of the Phase 8 intersection controller cabinets that will communicate through the fiber
optic cable.
' Figure 7.10 highlights the recommended improvements for Phase 8.

Phase 4 improvements assume controller replacements at twelve intersections, CCTV cameras
' at up to five locations (Option B), new fiber in new conduit, and new fiber optic cable in existing
conduit. Costs for these improvements including associated hardware and equipment are
summarized in Table 8.3. Note that the 3100 feet of new conduit and fiber installed along Irvine
' Ave between Santa Isabel Ave and Santiago Dr, is only necessary if backbone Gigabit Ethernet
communications is implemented (see Section 11 for details).
' The cost for Phase 4 includes the cost to install new fiber optic cable along Superior Avenue.
As a cost savings measure, the twisted pair can be retained and employ Ethernet over twisted
pair cable in lieu of new fiber.

Phase 5 improvements assume controller replacements at fourteen intersections, CCTV
cameras at up to four locations (Option B), and new fiber optic cable in existing conduit. Costs
for these improvements including associated hardware and equipment are summarized in Table
8.4.
The cost for Phase 5 includes the cost to install new fiber optic cable in the Fashion Island area,
including along San Joaquin Hills Rd. and Newport Center Drive. As a cost savings measure,
the twisted pair can be retained and employ Ethernet over twisted pair cable in lieu of new fiber.

9.0 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTER
As part of the Phase 1 project, the City of Newport Beach will upgrade the Traffic Management
Center (TMC) in the current City Hall location. These upgrades, detailed in the Phase 1 Project
Design Report, include the installation of new workstations, a video wall, and hardware to
support the Phase 1 field elements. It is assumed that this will serve as City's TMC for at least
the first two to three phases as detailed in this report.
The City has long -term plans to construct a new City Hall. At this time, the location of the new
City Hall is not known. It is envisioned that the TMC would be relocated to the new City Hall
once constructed. In support of future planning activities, this section of the Master Plan details
some TMC concepts. It should be noted that a detailed TMC layout should be developed with
the City Hall architect for inclusion in the design of the City Hall. The layout should electrical
loading requirements, locations for electrical outlets and equipment, and lighting. The
remainder of this section discusses the following aspects of the Newport Beach TMC.
• Control Room
' Equipment Room
• Design Considerations
• TMC Preliminary Layouts
' 9.1 CONTROL ROOM
The control room refers to the area where the TMC operator(s) carries out traffic monitoring
tasks and other day -to -day activities. Within the TMC control room, there are a number of
' physical items which need to function together in order to form the basis of the TMC, and they
are discussed in the following paragraphs.
9.1.1 TMC Video Wall
' A video wall display system is the operational focal point of the TMC because it provides visual
information for traffic management purposes and is visible to all operations staff. Visual
' information can be CCTV camera images, high - resolution computer graphics, TV broadcast,
traffic data, videotape playbacks, and other video images.
There are a number of configurations which could shape the video wall and its components.
' They range from the basic flat panel monitors (LCDs or plasmas), which are comparatively
lower in cost (Figure 9.1) , to "cube formations' which combine a minimum of one (but usually
four or nine) mid -size monitors and a graphics processor (Figure 9.2).

it
In addition to the video wall, a complete video display system can include the following
additional components:
• Video Server / Switch — allow for display of any of the video feeds from the media or
CCTV on the monitors in the video wall or at operator workstations. Traditionally, the
video switch was a physical piece of equipment to support the switching of analog video.
IP video uses a software -based system known as IP video management software that
resides on a server.
• Cable Television Tuner — allow for the gathering of weather information and news media
coverage during events.
• Radio Receiver — allow for media coverage, which is often beneficial in times of
emergencies.
• Digital Video Recorder (DVR) — allow operations staff to perform traffic studies and
conduct traffic counts from the recorded video. Such recording operation for delayed
viewing can be performed at time when operations staff is busy or at time when
operations staff is not available.
• Video Quad Combiner — combines four video inputs to form one video output, which
allows the viewing of multiple video images, typically four, simultaneously on a single
monitor.
There are various advantages and disadvantages for each type of video wall. The flat panel
monitors, using a combination of plasma or LCD screens, could be seen as an immediate
solution for a video wall. Installation and implementation is quicker and easier compared to
video cubes. However, the lifespan and operation of flat panels may be reduced depending on
its usage, especially for 24 hour monitoring. Sizes of LCD screens will vary due to preference,
wall availability, and visibility.
The video cubes, which can be stacked in various numbers of rows and columns, could be seen
as a long term solution for a video wall. The life expectancy of projection cubes is much longer
than that of flat panels; however, the viewing distance from the screen to the operator should be
further. Video cubes are more costly compared to flat panel monitors, require more footprint
' ITERIS - -
Page97oii17
space in the TMC, and require a cut out be made in the wall separating the TMC operations
theater and the TMC equipment room for the installation of the video cubes and the associated
support structure. Video cubes will offer the most benefit and ease of operation, but can cost
upwards of $150,000 to $200,000 compared to $10,000 to $20,000 for several flat panel
monitors.
Generally, the two factors that determine which type of video wall to implement are price and
space. Overall, video cubes are preferred over flat panel monitors due to the flexibility they
offer, serving essentially as a very large computer screen with the ability to display and size
numerous applications at one time while serving as one large display or multiple smaller
displays. This flexibility requires additional equipment, such as video processors, that are not
required by flat panel displays, adding to the cost of the video cube system. Table 9.1 provides
a typical list of equipment associated with flat panel displays and video cubes and a
corresponding price range.

One item to note is the video decoders. This equipment is required to convert IP video to
analog video for display on both video cubes and flat panel displays; some cube vendors are
starting to offer IP video inputs. Since each flat panel monitor has one analog (NTSC) video
input, one decoder is required for each flat panel monitor. A video cube system can have
multiple analog video inputs and the number of decoders required is a function of how many
videos an agency desires to view simultaneously on the video wall. Typically, a 2 by 2 cube has
sufficient viewing area to watch six to eight video feeds simultaneously, while a 2 by 3 cube has
sufficient viewing area to watch ten to twelve video feeds simultaneously. Some cube vendors
are beginning to offer network inputs that allow the video to be displayed as IP video.

9.1.1 TMC Workstation Console
The operator console is where the TMC operations staff will perform the majority of their duties
and should provide enough workspace to accommodate both on -line and off -line activities and
responsibilities. Therefore, when an operator is not working with the traffic control system
(typically non -peak hours), other assigned day -to -day activities, such as traffic analyses and
report writing, can still be performed. It is the home to the workstation monitors, input devices
such as mouse and keyboard, telephones, CCTV camera controls, and other equipment. The
following provides some general design guidelines for the operator console:
• The console should be designed to provide good visibility over the top of the console,
and allow comfortable viewing distance and angle for the workstation monitor and video
wall.
• The viewing distance (typically provided) for a 19 -inch monitor(s) should be
approximately 24 inches.
• The maximum viewing distance is typically considered the furthest limit that an average
human eye can resolve a single pixel of the display. The minimum viewing distance is
typically determined by the scanning or refresh rate of the image and minimum
acceptable number of pixels that can be viewed within a normal cone of vision. If an
operator is situated any closer to the screen than this limit, he or she will begin to have
difficulty viewing different parts of the image simultaneously and will often experience
phenomena known as screen flicker. For a two by three video cube wall, the viewing
distance between the video wall and the backside of the console is 5 to 7 feet.
• Video wall viewing distance should be no closer than one half the width or height of the
screen, whichever is greater. The operator's line of sight should be no more than 15-
degree below horizontal. Finally, the bottom edge of any video wall monitors should be
no lower than 36 inches above the floor.
• The operator consoles should be oriented such that the operator is looking at the center
of the large screen display when facing straight ahead. The operators must also be
located within the prime- viewing cone of projection of the screen.
• A minimum usable horizontal table space 4 feet wide by 3 feet deep is recommended for
each operator. The 3 -foot minimum depth for the work surface will allow the monitor to
be placed at the appropriate distance away from the operator and provide the operator
with adequate tabletop space for rollout maps and other materials. However, additional
space at the workstation is recommended to accommodate future components.
• The minimum vertical knee clearance should be 27 inches.
• It is desirable to provide room for under - console CPU storage on a retractable shelf for
easy access, and also keeping the unit off of the floor.
• The console furniture should be modular to allow the accommodation of future
technology upgrades and be ergonomically adjustable to fit individual operator size and
preferences.
• To avoid possible work related injury, the work surface should be finished with rounded
edges and completed with padded supports for wrists and forearms.
• The console hosting the computer may have keyboard trays and cable guides for
management as well as computer fans for ventilation.

One factor that must be considered when preparing the layout of the workstation console is the
viewing distance from the video wall to the operator. Based on studies of human factors, there
are detailed calculations that determine the optimum viewing distance, based on the size of the
video wall, eye- height of the operator, etc. Specific to the types of video walls being considered
such as 50 -inch flat panel or cubes, the viewing distance from the video wall to the operator
should be a minimum of 9 feet. Considering the depth of the workstation console
(approximately 3- feet), this equates to placing the back edge of the workstation console six feet
from the video wall.
Table 9.2 provides some rough order cost estimates for a two- person and a 3- person
workstation console, based on past project experience. The prices will vary greatly depending
on vendor, configuration (straight versus curved console), etc.

9.2 EQUIPMENT ROOM
The equipment room is the area that houses the different devices needed to operate the TMC.
It is also the location for most electrical receptacles. Communication cables are terminated here
as well as workstation and other networking cabling. Cables are connected here to establish
continuous electrical and communication paths from the equipment in this room to the
equipment in the control room. Therefore, this room should be located immediately adjacent to
the control room for maintenance and wiring purposes.
In general, the equipment room should be rectangular in shape. It is not desirable to have
curved walls or odd shapes for the equipment room. This room should not be shared with any
other use such as storage, janitorial equipment or other electrical or mechanical installations.
There should not be any plumbing fixtures in the room and pipes should not pass through, or
above, the room that could cause flooding or require continuous repair or replacement. The
floor must be free of dust and static electricity, thus it should be tiled versus carpeted. If the
floor is left uncovered, it should be sealed and painted.
The TMC equipment room should provide space for a minimum of three equipment racks and
include additional space for growth. Ideally, a thirty -six inch deep service area around all
equipment racks and electrical panels should be provided (ADA clearance). The doorway must
be sized to provide adequate room to move equipment and racks in and out. Access to the
equipment room could be through either the TMC control room or another secondary door
outside the TMC. If such a secondary door is provided, it should be secured with door locks
and an auto closing and locking mechanism. The TMC must also conform to all applicable ADA
accessibility requirements.
ITERIS - -
It is desirable to have a backboard area for the installation of patch panels, electrical outlets,
and circuit breakers. In addition, convenience power outlets should be placed at six -foot
intervals in the equipment room for test equipment.
The following paragraphs describe some of the essential components in the equipment room.
9.2.1 Equipment Racks
The actual TMC equipment is housed within racks that have both front and rear access with
doors and exhaust fans for air movement in and between equipment pieces for heat dissipation.
The fiber optic cable will be terminated in a rack - mounted Fiber Distribution Unit (FDU). The
selection of the specific FDU type will be dependent on the total number of terminations which
are needed.
Equipment racks should be organized into logical groupings. Floor space in front of and behind
equipment racks and cabinets should provide sufficient clearance for service and maintenance
and the ADA requirements. If cable raceways are used, the raceway should be located under
the access floor or above the racks, and should be connected to the equipment on the same
side as the equipment connection. Equipment racks should be bolted to the access flooring, (if
the access flooring is anchored to the floor slab), to restrain any movement of the equipment
during earthquakes.
9.2.2 Cables and Cable Raceways
The organization of cables in associated cable raceways facilitates maintenance and future
renovation of the facility. A simple guideline to follow is to run power cables in separate cable
raceways from communication cables. An ideal raceway layout is alternating power and
communication raceways. All vertical and horizontal cable distribution should emphasize
carefully planned cable management to allow easy installation and identification of cables. All
new cables provided in the TMC should be specified as plenum rated. This type of cable
coating resists burning and smoke and does not generate harmful fumes.
If communication cables enter from the floor or ceiling, cable ladders or vertical cable trays
should be used to support the cables and aid in cable management. A continuous pathway of
cable trays should be placed along the ceiling around the perimeter of the walls and over all
equipment racks. The pathway must be strong enough and well secured to support the weight
of the cables. A minimum of 12" wide cable tray should be used for the pathway to the racks.
9.2.3 Network
The equipment room also typically houses the servers, network switches and other computer
networking hardware. Typically it is most beneficial to request that vendors, such as the signal
system vendor, provide rack mountable servers and associated equipment (versus a typical
tower or desktop steel case) to reduce the need for additional work surfaces or floor space.
Rack mounting the server will also allow for eased cable management between the server and
other equipment within the TMC.
The computer hardware is typically configured to create a TMC network. The TMC network will
support the operation of the various computer software systems, including the traffic signal
system software, the CCTV system software, the video wall software, as well as other devices
that may be deployed. Additionally, the City IT department will likely connect the TMC network
ITERIS
I
1
to the citywide network to support the use of remote TMC workstations via the City's area
' network. The network equipment necessary to interconnect all of these systems to create a
functioning TMC include workstations, servers, communication racks, network switches, and
miscellaneous cabling.
' As previously stated, three communication equipment racks should provide ample rack space to
install the required TMC and communication equipment, and provide for future expansion. It is
recommended to install APC Power Systems, 47 rack unit, "Netshelter" cabinet with single front
' and dual rear doors, or equivalent. This type of cabinet should provide sufficient space for the
current project and future expansion requirements for this TMC system. A list of typical TMC
network elements are listed in Table 9.3.

9.3 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
' It is beneficial to evaluate certain design elements when implementing a functional, user friendly
and expandable TMC, including both human and machine design factors. To this end, the City
should coordinate with the architect responsible for the design of the new City Hall, which will
' house the new TMC. Implementing certain design elements, such as electrical service for the
TMC equipment, during the design of the City Hall will represent a considerable cost savings to
the City.
tThe human and machine design factors considered for the TMC are listed below and discussed
in the following sections.
' • Lighting — primary and supplementary lighting;
• Power — electrical service;
' • Acoustic — background noise and interior acoustical properties;
Environmental — heating, ventilation, and air - conditioning;
• Workspace layout — dimensions, access, and fixtures;
' Some features of the physical environment are mandated by public law (e.g., access for the
disabled). Other features are based on established design guidelines and practice (e.g., lighting
standards for designated work areas, the Federal Highway of Administration (FHWA) ErgoTMC
' design guidelines, preliminary human factors guidelines for TMC, etc.). These design
components and considerations should be translated into requirement statements in the
procurement specifications and are detailed in the following paragraphs.
' 9.3.1 Lighting
Lighting in the TMC Control Room can include both natural and artificial light. Artificial light is
provided to illuminate the TMC. The most critical lighting challenge in the TMC is the conflict
' between the need to dim general illumination and raise levels of work surface illumination. A
nearly equal challenge is the need to plan illumination that will not cause distracting glare.
' In general, the overall illumination should be diffused, indirect and kept low to provide optimum
viewing of the video and computer monitors. Ceilings of a non - reflective color are preferable to
provide adequate diffused illumination. A variety of standard fixtures are available for indirect
' lighting. In selecting fixtures, considerations must be given to the nature of the walls and ceiling
since the light must be reflected from these surfaces. Some TMCs have highly reflective
ceilings. These provide efficient luminance, but the specular patterns may be distracting. In
addition, reflectance may cause eyestrain and reduce contrast between characters and
' background. Furnishings with high reflectance or glossy surfaces may look appealing but
should be avoided in the TMC design. All interior finishes, except ceilings, should be in
medium -to -dark colors with matte finish.
' Where only video display units are employed, illumination should be 200 to 500 lux. This is
adequate background illumination for video display work and occasional reading of large or bold
print, but is too dim for close work requiring reading of normal type and similar activities. For
general office work, an illumination level on those work surfaces of 540 to 755 lux is adequate.

Sources of emitted or reflected light should be arranged so that they do not cause reflections on
video displays. Exterior natural light sources from corridors, exterior windows and adjacent
rooms are major sources of glare and should be avoided to minimize their impact on TMC
operations. If outside windows are present in the control room, shades or blinds should be
installed and operators should be allowed to adjust them to control glare. Interior windows, if
provided, should be treated for glare. The ambient light should be indirect with recessed
incandescent ceiling lighting or task lights provided at the operator console. Separate lighting
controls should be provided for the TMC. Dimmable or phased controls are desired, and
multiple circuits for lighting are recommended.
Lighting needs in the TMC Equipment Room are much different from those in the TMC Control
Room. Lighting in equipment rooms is almost always provided by artificial light. The equipment
room should be well lit with all lights controlled by one circuit to provide a safe working
environment. The ceiling should be light in color.
9.3.1 Power
One important design consideration for the TMC is to estimate the additional loading generated
by the TMC equipment. If there is adequate capacity in the primary supply wiring, then it should
only be necessary to provide additional breakers and secondary wiring to the TMC. Otherwise,
it will also be necessary to install new primary wiring.
Separate circuits should be provided for lighting so that more control of lighting levels can be
achieved, if desired. Separate circuits should also be provided for the video wall components
as well as the console workstations. Video equipment (i.e., wall and computer monitors) is
susceptible to electrical variances, and is sometimes affected by light switches being turned
on /off. Therefore, dedicated and isolated circuits should be provided for these devices.
The provision of adequate backup and conditioned power for the TMC is also important. It is
essential that all electronic equipment have the capability of remaining on line in the event of a
power failure. The electrical feed should also be conditioned to reduce and /or eliminate
electrical surges /spikes before they are passed onto sensitive equipment. As a minimum, an
uninterrupted power supply with at least 15 minutes capacity should be provided and connected
to all computer and electronic equipment in the TMC. It is assumed that each communication
rack in the equipment room will have one UPS, and a minimum of 30 -Amp loading is required
for any outlet providing service to an UPS.
9.3.3 Acoustics
The rule of thumb for acoustics design is to balance different sound sources so that local
speech is unaffected, but dampening levels are high enough to mask intrusive noise from
adjacent spaces. In the TMC, noise problems are most likely to result from distracting alarms,
radio, and telephone communications by other operators. Other examples include stand -alone
air - conditioning systems, data processing equipment and even computer fans, which, in some
cases, can produce distracting noises.
Acceptable levels of noise range from 45 dB for communication without difficulty to 65 dB for
frequent speech or phone use to 75 dB for occasional speech or phone use. Consideration
should be given to incorporate as much acoustic treatment into the TMC as possible to aid in
absorbing incidental noise.

9.3.4 Environmental
Environmental includes the consideration of both ventilation and fire protection requirements.
Ventilation is an essential operating concern in a TMC environment for the protection of
equipment and for providing a comfortable working environment for traffic management staff.
Air conditioning must be provided to the area that houses computers and equipment. Typically,
all building air conditioning systems do not operate 24 hours per day; 7 days per week and
some communication equipment may be susceptible to damage if it becomes too hot. For this
reason, it is usually recommended to have a smaller dedicated HVAC system or segregate the
larger building system to accommodate special needs of the TMC. The TMC temperature and
humidity controls should also be connected to an UPS system. To ensure that the working
environment for traffic management staff is optimal, fresh air intake is preferred to recycled air.
A fire protection system is another important operating concern especially in areas where
equipment and computers are located. Depending on the sensitivity of equipment, a sprinkler
system could be used as a fire protection system. Although some equipment may need to be
replaced should the sprinkler system be activated, it is more important to suppress the fire and
save the TMC space in general.
There are also other options for the fire suppression system that are more computer friendly.
Implementing this type of system for the TMC area requires special attention during building
design and construction.
9.3.5 Workspace Layout
As previously discussed, the new TMC should be divided into a control room and an equipment
room for the following reasons:
• The TMC equipment will generate heat and noise continuously. A separate equipment
' room will provide a more comfortable working environment for traffic management staff.
• The installation of additional equipment in the TMC can be done more easily in a
1
1
1
1
1
1
separate equipment room.
• Communication equipment is very delicate and should be isolated from non -
maintenance staff. A separate equipment room offers extra security for this equipment.
• High quality ceiling treatments and anti - static computer room carpet tile are
recommended.
Accessibility, aesthetics, flexibility, scalability and safety are important factors in the design of
the TMC workspace layout. The workspace design should take into account the arrangement of
operator workstations and placement of shared resources and equipment, such as large map
displays, dry boards, and equipment racks. If the TMC is not arranged well, access to shared
resources will be limited, or resources that might not be readily accessible. Incorrect placement
of objects, such as credenzas and cabinets, may constrain maintenance access to equipment.
Supplemental space should also be provided for the TMC supervisor and visitors.

Other TMC equipment, such as fiber distribution units, Ethernet switches and routers, video
encoders and decoders, and servers, will be installed in standard nineteen inch equipment
rack(s), typically placed in the equipment room. There should be adequate space and
equipment racks to accommodate not only the immediate need but also provide additional
space for future equipment.
Consideration must be given to accessibility for persons with disabilities. Entryways and doors
for the TMC should be safe, convenient, and easy to use for everyone, including the wheelchair
user. To provide for accessibility clearance, doorways should be a minimum of 36 inches wide
by 80 inches high. Additional consideration has to be made for doorway clearance if equipment
has to be moved in and out of the TMC for maintenance, installation, and other purposes.
' For safety reasons no revolving or all -glass doors should be used. All swinging doors should
have view ports, and there should be no sharp corners or edges. Doors should not open into
hallways, and there should be no posts between double doors. Doors should be hinged inward
t and solid to provide security and resistance to fire. For convenience, there should be no large
or heavy doors and the door handles should be easy to use and well placed.
9.3.6 Security
' Access to the TMC should be restricted to authorized City staff only. The entrance to the TMC
should utilize a security access system (key pad or card key reader) located on the door to enter
the TMC control. room. If access to the equipment room is from within the TMC control room, a
' second security access system to enter the equipment room is not necessary, as is the case
with the TMC proposed layout.
9.4 CONCEPTUAL TMC FLOOR PLAN ANALYSIS
' The Newport Beach TMC will be located in the new City Hall, which has not yet been designed.
It is recommended that the TMC foot print area be rectangular in shape. Additionally, it is
recommended that a conference room be located adjacent to the TMC and includes a window.
' Two conceptual floor plans have been prepared in support of the Master Plan to provide the City
with some planning tools once the new City Hall design is initiated. TMC Concept 1 (TMC 1)
employs flat panel displays within a 450 square foot area (18 feet by 25 feet) as illustrated in
' Figure 9.3. TMC Concept 2 (TMC 2) employs video cubes within a 558 square foot area (18
feet by 31 feet) as illustrated in Figure 9.4. Each TMC concept includes the following:

10.0 GIGABIT ETHERNET BACKBONE COMMUNICATIONS
The current approach to deploying a communication system for the City of Newport Beach is to
assume Ethernet -based communications between the signalized intersections (field elements)
and selected City - facilities listed below.
8. Central Library near Avocado Ave and
Corporate Plaza Drive
9. NCCC near San Joaquin Hills Road and
Newport Coast Drive
10. Police Department near Jamboree and
Santa Barbara
11. Fire Station 7 near Irvine Avenue and
University Drive
12. Fire Station 6 near Irvine Avenue and
Westcliff Drive
13. General Services near Superior Avenue
and 16th Street
14. City hall near Newport Blvd. and 32 "d
Street
At each City - facility listed above, a high- bandwidth communication link will be implemented by
Newport Beach IT Department between each of the facilities and City Hall. At the time this report
was written, the COX Business Services agreement with the City established the following
services for the City.
• A DS3 (T3) communication link between City Hall and the Central Library offering 44 MB
of bandwidth.
• Additional services to be provided with the agreement include a 1011.7 Ethernet line
service (ELS) from the Police Department to City Hall. These communication links are
envisioned to replace the existing T1 connections.
The likely communication link for the additional facilities to City Hall are likely to be a leased DS3
line offering up to 44 MB of bandwidth. Other alternatives identified include microwave radio
offering 100 MB of bandwidth and an additional T1 leased line offering 1.54 MB of bandwidth.
A dedicated T1 leased line for Traffic will be an improvement over existing shared T1 leased
lines (existing conditions), but limits Traffic to only a few CCTV cameras Citywide. A DS3 or 100
MB microwave system both offer dramatic improvements over existing conditions. However,
once bandwidth is divided up amongst City departments, the amount of bandwidth allocated to
Traffic will be limited. Even though 44 MB or 100 MB is a great deal more than the current T1
connections, these alternatives do not offer long -term bandwidth solutions.
10.1 POTENTIAL GIGABIT BACKBONE CONFIGURATION
' The Phase 1 network configuration identified in Figure 7.3, will provide the City with viable
network and temporary network relief for immediate use, but it does not provide much growth
potential and limits traffic bandwidth availability. Figure 10.2 provides an illustration of a Gigabit
' Ethernet system that could be developed once the fiber optic cable network is implemented (see
Section 7 for details). Figure 10.2 is simplified in the Figure 10.1 to emphasize the backbone
network components.

As depicted in Figure 10.1 and Figure 10.2, the Gigabit Ethernet network would replace the
COX DS3 lease line implemented for the Phase 1 project. The proposed Gigabit Ethernet
network configuration could also be augmented with primary and secondary Gigabit Ethernet
microwave communication links. These links would provide redundant communications between
the Gigabit Ethernet fiber backbone and City Hall, via two field connections to the fiber backbone.
For the purposes of this discussion, the field Gigabit Ethernet microwave links would be located
at Central Library and Fire Station 7. This network configuration provides 100MB to each edge
circuit tied to the ports of the Aggregation switches. The Aggregation switches are tied together
via 1000MB fiber backbone in a redundant ring configuration. Wireless network paths 1 and 2
represent a redundant configuration of the fiber backbone to achieve a 1 Gigabit wireless
backbone to City Hall.
The objective behind this configuration is to provide redundancy for the network and Gigabit
' connectivity back to City Hall. Since multiple network paths will be employed, Spanning Tree
protocols would be needed to manage network redundancy and fail -over operations. This
requires some level of routing functionality. Support for IP routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF,
' BGP, and support for multicast routing, including PIM -SM, PIM -DM, and DVMRP, can be found
in higher end aggregation switches available today. At least one of the GigE switches identified
in the Architecture diagram would require these routing capabilities.
1

Although others exist, switches suitable for this configuration include Cisco 3750 and Foundry
FES 424. The Foundry FESX424HS is an attractive solution because of its fiber module options,
allowing for (20) 100MB FX connections on SFP fiber ports. This is the switch recommended for
the Aggregation Switches. These 20 network legs would be tied to field edge switches
(signalized intersections). The Gigabit backbone would be achieved by connecting (4) combo
ports of all Aggregation switches in a redundant ring. This level of switch is assumed in Figure
7.3 for the Aggregation switch identified as item #5 of Table 9.3, Typical Network Equipment.
Note that this switch is required at least for the Central Library in Phase 1 work. Additionally this
level of switch is also recommended at Fire Station #7, should the Gigabit network be deployed
with redundancy. Regardless, the port configuration of this switch makes it an ideal solution for
each site to achieve both this level of aggregation and backbone connectivity.
The critical items that should be identified for this configuration is the lack of redundancy in the
wireless links between the Tower, City Hall and the two backbone access sites. If the microwave
radio goes down at either location, there is no redundant path to maintain communications with
the field network. For this reason, it is recommended that the Central Library switch be
configured as the IGMP master switch. Additionally, if funds are available, (2) dedicated wireless
links can be used to connect the Path #1 — City Hall to Central Library and Path #2 - City Hall to
Fire Station V. Communications between General Services and the Tower could retain the
existing 100 MB microwave link.
This approach provides the City with a communications system that offers some redundancy for
the field network and ample bandwidth to meet the City's long -term needs. It is also well suited
for the long -term plan for a new City Hall that is not located on Balboa Peninsula.

10.2 IP ADDRESSING AND SUB - NETTING
Sub - netting an IP Network can be done for a variety of reasons, including organization, use of
different physical media (such as Ethernet, FDDI, WAN, etc.), preservation of address space,
and security to name a few. The most common reason (and how it is typically employed for ITS
applications) is to control network traffic from the various ITS components deployed. This can be
employed for data traffic from video camera CODECS, traffic controllers, VMS controllers, etc.
In an Ethernet network, all nodes on a segment see all the packets transmitted by all the other
nodes on that same segment. For this reason, performance can be adversely affected under
heavy traffic loads, due to collisions and the resulting retransmissions. For this reason it is
recommended that traffic data be segregated by sub networks in an ITS network. A router is
used to mange this traffic and connect IP networks that minimize the amount of traffic each
segment must receive. Subnet masking and VLANs allow for the use of subnets.
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique identifier for a node or host (such as an ITS device)
connection on an IP network. An IP address is a 32 bit binary number usually represented as 4
decimal values, each representing 8 bits, in the value range 0 to 255 (known as octets)
separated by decimal points. This is known as "dotted decimal" notation, for example:
140.179.220.200 is a Class B IP address. It is sometimes useful to view the values in their
binary form:
140 .179 .220 .200
' 10001100 .10110011.11011100.11001000
10.2.1 Subnet Masking
Applying a subnet mask to an IP address allows you to identify the network and node parts of the
' address. The network bits are represented by the 1s in the mask, and the node bits are
represented by the Os. Performing a bit -wise logical AND operation between the IP address and
the subnet mask results in the Network Address or Number for the subnet.
' For example, using the 140.179.220.200 IP address noted above, and the default Class B subnet
mask, we get a network address of 140.179.000.000. Default Classful subnet masks are as
follows:
' Class A - 255.0.0.0 - 11111111 .00000000.00000000.00000000
• Class B -255.255.0.0- 11111111 .11111111.00000000.00000000
' Class C - 255.255.255.0 - 11111111 .11111111.11111111.00000000
For any subnet scheme, where you know the Class of the network, the lower most address is
typically reserved for network identification, while the uppermost address is reserved for the
' broadcast address. In order to specify the network address for a given IP address, the node
section is set to all "O "s. In the example above, 140.179.0.0 specifies the network address for the
140.179.220.200 address. When the node section is set to all "1 "s, it specifies a broadcast that is
' sent to all hosts on the network. 140.179.255.255 specifies the example broadcast address. Note
that this is true regardless of the length of the node section.

10.2.2 IP Address Classes
As the Internet has evolved so have IP schemes. Two schemes worth noting for this discussion
are Classful (as discussed above) and Classless (CIDR) schemes. For the purpose of this
discussion it is suffice to say that Glassful schemes are less in use today and CIDR notation is
used now. Since Classful schemes are basically "address hogs ", CIDR -- Classless Inter
Domain Routing, was essentially invented years ago to keep the Internet from running out of IP
addresses. Network Engineers realized that addresses could be conserved if the class system
was eliminated. By accurately allocating only the amount of address space that was actually
needed for a network, the address space crisis could be avoided, at least until all the
4,294,967,296 IPv4 Intemet addresses are used up.
Under CIDR notation, the subnet mask notation is reduced to "simplified shorthand" and is not
constrained by specific class values. Instead of spelling out the bits of the subnet mask, it is
simply listed as the number of 1 s bits that start the subnet mask. For example, instead of writing
an address and subnet mask as "Address 192.60.128.0 with a Subnet Mask 255.255.252.0 "; the
network address would be written simply as: 192.60.128.0/22
( 11111111 .11111111.11111100.00000000 = 22 1's) which indicates starting address of the
network, and number of is bits (22) in the network portion of the address. The use of a CIDR
notated address is actually the same as for a Glassful address. Glassful addresses can easily be
written in CIDR notation (Class A = /8, Class B = /16, and Class C = /24), if you so chose.
10.2.3 Private Subnets
There are three IP network addresses reserved for private networks. The addresses are
' 10.0.0.0, Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0, Subnet Mask 255.240.0.0, and 192.168.0.0,
Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0. These addresses are also notated as 10.0.0.018, 172.16.0.0112, and
192.168.0.0116 in CIDR notation. When connecting to the Internet, these private subnets can be
' used by anyone setting up internal IP networks, such as a City traffic network, lab or home LAN
behind a NAT or proxy server or a router. It is always safe to use these addresses because
routers on the Internet by default will never forward packets coming from these addresses. For
this reason it is always best to use these address ranges for any private network setup.

10.2.4 VLANs -Virtual LANs
Like Subnets, VLANs are created to provide the segmentation in LAN configurations. VLANs
serve to address issues such as scalability, security, and network management. Routers in
VLAN networks provide broadcast filtering, security, address summarization, and traffic flow
management to control the network VLAN traffic. Switches do not bridge IP traffic between
VLANs, for this reason whenever VLANs are employed; routers or switches with routing
capabilities are required. Virtual LANs are essentially Layer 2 implementations, whereas IP
subnets are Layer 3. In a campus LAN employing VLANs, a one -to -one relationship is often
implied between VLANs and IP subnets. Although it is possible to have multiple subnets on one
VLAN or have one subnet spread across multiple VLANs. Virtual LANs and IP subnets provide
an independent Layer 2 and Layer 3 method that maps to one another and this correspondence
is useful during the network design process. For the Newport Beach network design VLANs will
be configured per network traffic function and a switch with routing capabilities shall be employed
for routing requirements.

10.2.5 Newport Beach IP Address and VLAN Scheme
For the Newport Beach city traffic network it is recommended that the 192.168.0.0/16 address
range be employed. Table -1 identifies the recommended VLAN address scheme, while Table -2
provides an example listing of the available addresses for the TMC network devices. All other
address ranges may be determined in a similar fashion.
' This address scheme provides a very conservative approach to address usage and provides
plenty of growth potential for future expansions. Note that extensive address space is available
between the lower limit of 192.168.0.0/16 and the lower limit of 192.168.10.0/23. Likewise there
' exists plenty of space between the upper limits of 192.168.32.00121 and the upper limits of
192.168.0.0/16. This gives the City plenty of address blocks to work with for future expansion of
none traffic related equipment that may be required on the same network.
' Three address ranges, "Not Used ", are available and allocated for future expansion of traffic
related equipment. These guidelines are not fixed in any way and may be further subdivided so
long as proper network boundaries are maintained. For example the 192.168.10.0123 network
could be further subdivided into two networks with 254 hosts each as 192.168.10.0/24 and
' 192.168.11.0/24.
For this scheme it is recommended that any network equipment related to the TMC be defined as
t part of the VLAN2 domain for a maximum host count of 510. Any servers or PCs related to the
TMC should belong to VLAN2 for maximum host count of 510. Any device related to any video
equipment where multicast traffic is expected should belong to VLAN7 for maximum host count
of 2046. Any controller or related traffic equipment is to belong to VLAN8 for maximum host
' count of 2046.
The following VLAN configuration summarizes address usage for the various network
' equipments:
1. VLAN1: Used as default management VLAN for all switches
2. VLAN2: Layer 3 TMC switch, Aggregation switches, Edge switches servicing all TMC
' functions and street network.
3. VLAN3: TMC Servers and PCs.
4. VLAN4: Not Used — future.
' S. VLAN8: Not Used — future.
6. VLAN6: Not Used — future.
7. VLAN7: Used for any CODECs or IP camera on the network.
8. VLAN8: Used for any traffic related device including traffic controllers, VDS controllers,
' radar detection, CMS controller, etc.
It is recommended that VLAN1 be assigned consistent with switch vendor factory address
' requirements and is therefore not shown. On the following page, Table 10.1presents the
recommended VLAN configuration for Newport Beach, and Table 10.2 presents a sample IP
addressing scheme.

' 11.0 CONCLUSION
This document represents the City of Newport Beach Traffic Signal Communication Master
' Plan. The Master Plan details a long -term deployment strategy of a high- bandwidth
communication system to support the City's traffic signal system. The Master Plan also details
the deployment of the City's new traffic signal controllers at all City - signalized intersections and
' CCTV cameras at select signalized intersections.
The focus of the Traffic Signal Communications Master Plan was to develop a Master Plan that
' meets the following goals:
1. Details a long -term communication and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
deployment strategy
t 2. Inventories the existing communication and transportation infrastructure to maximize the
use of existing resources when deploying future communication, traffic signal and ITS
deployments to maximize funding
' 3. Improves public safety and incident response times
4. Coordinates with City of Newport Beach Information Technology (IT) to address
communication hardware needs and requirements of the City's WAN
' 5. Provides the City with the tools to more efficiently and effectively manage the existing
transportation network
6. Provides communications operations and maintenance cost estimates
7. Develops detailed deployment cost estimates for the phased deployment of
' communications and ITS strategies
8. Employs Systems Engineering Best Practices
9. Addresses requirement for Ethernet -based communications to support the traffic signal
' system consisting of icons° central software and ASC /3 traffic signal controllers (NEMA
and 2070 based formats)
10. Details a transition plan from the VMS system to the icons* system for each phase of the
' deployment
11. Supports the transmission of IP video and data from CCTV cameras
12. Addresses possible systems integration to support multi - jurisdictional coordination with
' additional City departments including IT
13. Comply with and become part of the Regional ITS Architecture
14. Develop City standards for communication and ITS deployments
15. Address communication requirements for possible relocation of Newport Beach TMC, if
' applicable
The deployment strategy detailed in the Master Plan can be used by the City to pursue funding
' for each strategy, coordinate the deployment of the communication system with other City
departments, and integrate the details of the Master Plan into Capital Improvement Projects.
