Project Experience <br />Similar Projects Completed by Our Team <br />supporting the River Ridge Development Authority which is a <br />substantial development space for manufacturing and shipping near <br />the Ports of Indiana. The corridor is a four -lane divided highway <br />with multiple signalized intersections. INDOT selected UNITED <br />to analyze a seven -mile stretch extending north from the SR 62/SR <br />265 interchange. UNITED supplemented INDOT's traffic counts by <br />collecting Miovision data at several locations. This data was combined <br />with trip generation calculations and growth rate calculations to <br />develop a corridor model of the entire seven miles. INDOT considered <br />displaced left turns throughout the corridor to improve mainline level <br />of service. Traditional signalization improvements and roundabouts <br />were also considered. <br />ADVANCED TRANSPORT TIO Tom Vandenberg, PE, PTOE <br />MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ATMS shrewsherrU <br />CITY OF LAFAYETTE, IN <br />As the Project Manager, Tom was responsible for designing a system that allows <br />Lafayette to manage and control 60 of their 85 traffic signals from a centralized location. <br />The system provides communication from each integrated traffic signal controller via <br />wireless radio modems to a central receiving tower located at Columbia Park. From the <br />tower, communication continues via underground fiber optic cable to the City's computer <br />server where specialized traffic signal management software is installed. The software <br />allows the city to access and modify data within the on -street traffic signal controllers, <br />to monitor traffic signal equipment failures, to monitor the effectiveness of traffic signal <br />timing plans, and to manage traffic volume data collected by count loop detectors. <br />Several workstations have access to the software including the City Engineer's office, the <br />City Traffic Department, and the traffic research department of Purdue University. <br />Designing a system to manage and control 30 traffic signals from a centralized location <br />fell into Tom's scope of work as the Project Manager.

Initial duties for the WL ATMS <br />performed by Tom included the development of the concept of operations for all of West <br />Lafayette's ITS needs, both current and future. <br />LAFAYETTE <br />IND. <br />Tom Vandenberg, PE, PTOE <br />shrew sherru <br />NEST <br />LAF YETTE <br />BEST <br />PLACES <br />INDIANA <br />UNITED CONSULTING inCITY OF SOUTH BEND is TRAFFIC SIGNAL CENTRAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DES N0. 2500054 LAPORTE DISTRICT <br />AW <br />11 <br />
