Traffic Signal Communication Master Plan

City of Escondido

Project Description

ADVANTEC developed a citywide Traffic Signal Communications Master Plan that includes an inventory of existing traffic signal and communications infrastructure, recommendations for up-to-date traffic signal and communications technologies, identification, and phased implementation of near-term to long-term projects, and a recommended asset management plan. The Traffic Signal Master Plan will be used as a planning tool to prepare the City of Escondido for future emerging multi-modal transportation technologies including a Traffic Management Center (TMC), fiber optic communications secured network, open architecture technologies, connected and automated vehicles (CAV), Big Data, integrated corridor management (ICM), Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), Mobility on Demand (MOD), and Smart Cities initiatives. The Traffic Signal Master Plan was prepared using ITS Standards and it will be based on FHWA’s ITS Architecture and requirements, including Concept-of-Operations and System Engineering Management Plan (SEMP). In addition, the Traffic Signal Master Plan will incorporate the vision of SANDAG’s 2021 Regional Plan to prepare the City of Escondido to enhance connectivity, increase safety and sustainability, and improve the quality of live in the region.
