SCOPE OF WORK
PROVIDE AND INSTALL OPERATING
DATA BASE FOR MULTISONICS
VMS 220 INTERCONNECT SYSTEM
• The Consultant shall review and, if necessary, edit the data base for
the 14 existing intersections . Based on certain information provided by the
City listed below and information provided by the Consultant, the Consultant
shall provide all of the services required to perform the following tasks
for up to thirty (30) intersections on three (3) crossing arterials and two
spur segments of one (1) and two (2) intersections each.
TASK #1 - DETECTOR GEOMETRICS
Based on City provided information on detector location, type and
phases served the Consultant shall review and edit or set detector geometrics
for up to thirty (30) intersections . The Consultant shall provide rationale
for the settings selected and explain in writing the effects of setting above
and below those selected.
TASK #2 - CONSTANTS
The Consultant shall provide all information necessary to edit the
constants and shall provide rationale for the settings selected and explain
in writing the effects of settings above and below those selected.
TASK #3 - OPTIONS
The Consultant shall provide all information necessary to edit the
options, provide rationale for selected settings and consult with the City's
Traffic Engineer for significant events to log or report.
TASK #4 - CYCLE OPTIMIZATION
The Consultant shall provide all information necessary to edit existing
cycle optimization sets and set as many new sets as may be required to support
the complete data base. The Consultant shall provide rationale for the number
of sets provided, the settings and the effect of various settings.
TASK Ii5 - OPTIMIZATION TO ESTABLISH COORDINATION DATA AND PATTERN DATA
The Consultant shall utilize the City's microcomputer and programs or a
satisfactory system as a substitute the following sequential calculations and
optimization routines .
A. Webster's Cycle and Split Calculations
Using the OMNI-MEANS, Ltd. computer program "XSECT" , optimum intersection
cycle length and splits shall be determined for each time period for each
intersection. Traffic counts will be provided by the City and verified by
system detectors for AM, noon and PM peak periods. System detectors will be
used to compile the required counts for off peak morning, afternoon and
nighttime traffic conditions. The Consultant shall operate the VMS 220 in
order to obtain these volume reports.
B . Identify Groups
Based upon street system characteristics , cycle length, geographic
location and traffic patterns, intersections shall be grouped by the Consultant
into secondary groups .
C. Preliminary Signal Timing (Optional )
If needed, the Consultant may use Passer II to refine and optimize
cycle ranges to an optimum cycle length for each condition. Phase sequence
and optimum offset can be evaluated at this level and utilized with the
optimum cycles as input data to the Transyt 6C optimization program.
-2-
D. Optimized Signal Timing
Transyt 6C will be used to determine subsystem signal timings for each
required period. In the case of the crossing arterials , De Anza Boulevard
and Stevens Creek Boulevard, timing patterns will provide for synchpases
to be on De Anza Boulevard and fixed phases to be on Stevens Creek Boulevard.
The system shall be optimized to minimize the number of stops at the
intersections.
TASK #6 - COORDINATION DATA
The Consultant will set or edit the coordination data establishing
sync phases, fixed phases , offsets , vehicle and ped splits (5 each) from
data derived from TASK #5 for up to thirty (30) intersections. The City
will provide pedestrian minimums and yellow timing information for this
task.
TASK #7 - PATTERNS
The Consultant shall establish timing patterns to allow for "stepping"
of cycle lengths through the AM peak, midday peak, and PM peak hours. The
Consultant shall establish morning, afternoon, and nighttime average offset
patterns that accomodate traffic at those times. Information required shall
be derived from Tasks 5 and 6 and from the detector and split monitors.
TASK #8 - T.I .C. (Time or Traffic Implemented Commands)
The Consultant shall set or edit the number of time of day implemented
commands as is necessary to support at least eight (8) traffic patterns daily
for weekday traffic. Those patterns are tentatively identified in Task #7.
The Consultant shall also set traffic implemented calculating commands for the
same patterns to be implemented on the basis of volume, speed and occupancy
and shall describe the formulas used and how these formulas would function
when various parameters of them are changed.

TASK #9 - FINAL REPORT
The Consultant shall document the effort in a final report suitable
for submittal to the City Council .
THE CITY SHALL PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING DATA:
A. Intersection Data (City Provided)
1. Contract Plans or Diagrams.
2. Controller Type.
3. Phasing Sequences.
4. Initial Control Settings (vehicle and pedestrian) .
5. Pedestrian Minimums .
6. Saturation Flow Rates for each Movement.
7. Turning Movements for AM Peak, Noon Peak and PM Peak Periods.
B. System Data
1. 200 scale aerial photography of the corridors.
2. Link distances .
3. Link Speeds - Radar (50th and 85th Percentile Speeds) .
4. Time-Delay Runs - These runs are required for calibration of each
group. The calibration would be made for the off peak condition.
Additional runs may be required during the other periods for system
evaluation.
