Project Approach <br />STEP 4: SIGNAL MODERNIZATION <br />0 Evaluate the condition of existing signal equipment. This may include an initial field <br />check meeting with City staff to discuss the condition and location of existing equipment. <br />0 Identify existing equipment in good working order that can remain in use. This may <br />include signal poles, traffic signal cabinets, recently replaced items, etc. By utilizing <br />existing equipment or recently replaced equipment, Heather's team will lower <br />the required modernization cost for each intersection, potentially allowing for <br />additional intersections to be included in the modernization efforts. <br />®Identify required equipment in need of replacement or upgrading. Items that have <br />reached the end of their service life or are no longer working will be replaced. UNITED <br />will work with the City to identify potential safety improvements or upgrades <br />related to signal equipment replacement. An example may include the installation <br />of high visibility backplates on existing signal heads. <br />0 Identify new technologies or opportunities for modernization of the intersection. <br />■ UNITED worked with the City of Anderson to identify different vehicle detection systems for the modernization of their <br />signalized intersections. UNITED was able to identify new technologies that not only fulfilled the detection requirements <br />but also provided pedestrian and vehicular count data. <br />■ While the modernization of the signal equipment is the primary goal of the project, there are also opportunities to <br />complete additional upgrades at the same time. UNITED was able to work with the City of LaPorte on the installation <br />of emergency vehicle preemption at signalized intersections within the City. This resulted in improved response times <br />for emergency vehicles and increased safety for all vehicles during a response. <br />BEST <br />PLACES <br />INDIANA <br />UNITED CONSULTING isCITY OF SOUTH BEND is TRAFFIC SIGNAL CENTRAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DES N0. 2500054 LAPORTE DISTRICT 7 <br />AW <br />
