Gateway Cities Traffic Signal Synchronization and Bus
Speed Improvement Project
The Atlantic Blvd./I-710 Corridor is a County of
Los Angeles project which will result in arterial infrastructure
improvements on north-south and east-west arterials along
I-710 freeway in the South-East Los Angeles County (Gateway Cities)
Forum.
The Atlantic Blvd./I-710 project area consists
of 642 intersections in the following 15 different
jurisdictions, comprising 13 cities, the County and Caltrans.
Los Angeles County
Caltrans
Bell
Bell Gardens
Commerce
Compton
Cudahy
Huntington Park
Long Beach
Lynwood
Maywood
Paramount
Signal Hill
South Gate
Vernon
The objective of this project is to design, develop and deploy
Advanced Traffic Management System(s) (ATMS) in the corridor so
that the signals in the Project area can be synchronized
across the jurisdictional boundaries. This project
concentrates on the needs of the agencies in this corridor
with respect to signal synchronization and recommends
improvements to field infrastructure (including controllers,
loops, detectors, and communications) and central traffic
control systems to meet those needs.
When successfully completed, each of the agencies responsible
for traffic signal operations in the Atlantic Blvd./I-710
Corridor will have full access to an ATMS that monitors and
controls the traffic signals under their jurisdiction.
Agencies will be able to synchronize their signals with
neighboring agencies, and exchange traffic information in
real-time. Agencies will also be able to exchange data with
other agencies in the Gateway Cities region. This will allow
the agencies to respond to recurrent and non-recurrent
congestion in a coordinated fashion across the jurisdictional
boundaries.
