In addition, Structurepoint has developed a Citywide Synchro network of the signalized intersections which will <br />be updated to reflect the existing conditions. This will help with the grooming of the CMS upon deployment and <br />implementation. <br />CENTRAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SELECTION <br />Based upon this preliminary information, our team can assist the city and key stakeholders to determine the specific <br />product that meets their needs to ensure the safety of the traveling public. Our team can review product documentation <br />and develop requests for information from vendors to assistthe city in making a software and hardware determination, <br />if necessary. Our team is currently assisting the City of Bloomington with a CMS deployment while working closely <br />with the Engineering Department. Streets Department and vendor to ensure that the software meets the needs of the <br />stakeholders as soon as it is deployed. <br />Based upon this ongoing experience as well as our teams previous experience with current and legacy CMS systems, <br />we will review the available products to determine which offerings suit the needs of the City. The evaluation will <br />include not just what technology is available but evaluate any additional costs associated with "extra" modules that the <br />stakeholders deem to be essential. All available modules will be included in the review, and a matrix developed along <br />side the costs to provide an apples -to -apples comparison. Additional information and literature will be requested (RFI) <br />from the platforms that are deemed to fulfill the needs of the City. As we have recently completed on our EVP project <br />with Lafayette and West Lafayette, we will compile questions to seek clarity as needed from each vendor, assemble <br />the results and present to the decision makers to provide clarity during the selection process. <br />A critical aspect of the system selection will be the ease of installation into the existing City system. Knowing that the <br />ARIES system is no longer operational, and has long since surpassed vendor support, selecting a CMS that integrates <br />seamlessly and most cost effectively will be key <br />priorities. Information gained from the field inventory <br />of the existing equipment along with the status of <br />the current fiber network will also provide guidance <br />to our team and the key stakeholders to determine <br />if a new communication standard is necessary or <br />repairing and reusing the existing network is viable <br />and cost effective. <br />During this phase compatibility with existing <br />equipment will also be reviewed to determine the <br />CMS will integrate with existing equipment as well <br />as all standard equipment, such as detection, that <br />the City intendeds to utilize as part of the signalized <br />intersection upgrades. <br />SIGNAL UPGRADE PRIORITIZATION MODEL <br />J <br />As part of the Traffic Signal System Inventory project, American Structurepoint was tasked with developing a <br />prioritization model for the signalized corridors under the maintenance and operations of the City of South Bend. <br />The tasks involved in this project included review of existing corridor maps, developing, evaluating and revising <br />the prioritization model and preparing a plan and timeline for corridor retiming, all of which was documented in the <br />final report. This document, which has been updated multiple times since its inception, already contains significant <br />detailed information that can be utilized to develop a signal upgrade prioritization model. <br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND - TRAFFIC SIGNAL CENTRAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM <br />
