The two one-year projects include the development of a citywide
transportation technology master plan, as well as signal coordination
and timing improvements.
Iteris is assisting the City of Modesto to evaluate and make
recommendations to improve the city’s existing traffic signal system
infrastructure, which includes the advanced traffic management system,
closed-circuit television camera system, communications network and
topology, traffic signals, and the various application platforms that
are often used to manage this infrastructure. The focus is to provide an
intelligent traffic management system that will improve air quality,
traffic flow and overall pedestrian/citizen safety in the city while
making recommendations for the improvements to the City’s intelligent
transportation systems (ITS) infrastructure. The deployment plan
organizes the selected strategies into specific projects to be deployed
in a prioritized and phased manner.
The ultimate goal of the traffic signal synchronization project is to
generate optimal timing plans for each of the 156 intersections located
outside the downtown area. By properly timing the intersections and
implementing optimized time-of-day plans, this project will balance
capacity and flow to reduce vehicular stops through the system and
facilitate movement of all modes of transportation during peak hours.
This project will ensure local residents and visitors have a pleasant
experience when navigating through the City of Modesto, whether in a
passenger vehicle, on transit, by bicycle, or on foot.
“We are proud to support the City of Modesto’s goal of improving the
safety and mobility of its road users by embarking on this strategic
plan and traffic signal synchronization project,” said Scott Carlson,
vice president and assistant general manager, Transportation Systems at
Iteris. “This initiative represents the continued expansion of Iteris’
planning and traffic signal coordination services in California, and
will ultimately help to increase the value and effectiveness of the
region’s existing transportation infrastructure, while also improving
air quality and reducing fuel consumption.”
Work is currently underway on both projects, which follow traffic signal
synchronization programs with the Orange
County Transportation Authority and the San
Bernardino County Transportation Authority, and related ITS programs
across California and Texas that focus on improving mobility and safety
along arterials in some of the most congested cities.
