Table 1. Communications Deployment Recommendations ' <br />• Move Pearl St hub to Regional Information System (RIS). 1 <br />• Locate all new future traffic servers at RIS. This includes installing a new <br />video server at RIS during the first project that includes communications to <br />existing or new CCTV cameras. , <br />• Maintain Roosevelt Blvd hub. <br />• Install fiber optic cable and Gigabit Ethernet switches along major arterial <br />roadways for communications to field devices. ' <br />• Share fiber infrastructure with ISD or ODOT when mutually beneficial. <br />• Install Ethernet over copper to low bandwidth devices where copper is <br />currently used on laterals to trunk lines. , <br />• Install wireless communications to unserved infrastructure with low <br />bandwidth requirements and clear sight lines. <br />• Install fiber optic cable and Gigabit Ethernet switches to unserved areas , <br />where there are high bandwidth requirements or a communications <br />connection can be made to a City facility. <br />• Where wireless is not feasible, install either fiber optic cable or Ethernet ' <br />over copper depending on the medium used where the unserved area is <br />connected to the communications network. <br />1.4 Expected Benefits , <br />Benefits of the recommended communications deployment approach are expected to include <br />the following: <br />• Ability to support deployment of intelligent transportation system devices (e.g. cameras, <br />dynamic message signs) from the Regional ITS Plan'. <br />• Video sharing capabilities within the City and with other agencies, the media, and the <br />traveling public. <br />• Improved transportation corridor operations resulting from new capabilities to monitor <br />system performance and make traffic signal timing adjustments based on current <br />conditions. <br />in Enhanced Public Works staff efficiency afforded by remote access to City traffic devices. <br />• A robust multi -path network that allows data to travel in multiple directions preventing <br />device outages as a result of equipment failure or accidental cuts of fiber optic cable. <br />• A phased plan to relocate a communications hub from a City facility that will eventually <br />be vacated. <br />• ISD long -term cost savings resulting from replacing leased services to City facilities with <br />City -owned infrastructure. <br />1.5 Proposed Deployment Plan <br />Figure 1 illustrates the proposed high -level communications phasing and Table 2 includes the <br />list of projects within each phase. While some projects are dependent on other projects <br />occurring first, many may be deployed as opportunities arise. These opportunities may include <br />capital improvements, private development, or fund - sharing opportunities. <br />Deployment of the Regional ITS Plan is expected to result in a 10 -to -1 benefit - to-cost ratio with a 9- percent crash <br />reduction, savings of 100 travel hours per day, savings of 24,000 gallons of fuel, a 10- percent emissions reduction, ' <br />and a 67- percent improvement in travel time reliability. <br />DKS Associates Eugene Master Traffic Communications Plan March 2008 ' <br />Page 2 <br />
