Item Rating Notes

Geometry Excellent Several Parallel arterials in close proximity of I-210; freeway frontage streets in Pasadena

Jurisdictional Environment

Good Possibility of doing pilot deployment within one or two cities

Freeway Traffic Detection Very Good Sensors on mainline and most ramps.

Arterial Traffic Detection Promising Many intersections already equipped with traffic sensors

Traffic Demand Patterns Very Good Westbound traffic during AM peak; eastbound traffic during PM peak, average % of trucks

Existing Freeway Control Excellent Existing HOV lanes; ramps and freeway interchanges metered

Existing Arterial Control Good Traffic responsive system already in place on some arterials, participation of key cities in IEN.

Existing Transit Services Very Good Metro Gold Line running parallel to I-210, in close proximity

Park-and-ride capabilities

Uncertain Many facilities exhibit high occupancy rates

ICM Opportunities – Peak Hour

Challenging High congestion level on freeway; some arterials with limited extra capacities at some intersections; incident response needs; different traffic pattern on Fridays

ICM Opportunities – Off Peak

Excellent Many large scale events; incident response needs

Area highlights ◦ Access to transit, limited construction, parallel arterials access,

local partnership opportunity, availability of parking facilities, regional attractions, high accident volumes, truck access, etc.
