  2. Signal Timing Plan - 2008 Update • 8 square miles in NE quadrant • 9 arterials (4 EW and 5 NS) • Craig to Nellis to Washington to Las Vegas Blvd • 140 intersections • New timing plans (splits, offsets, sequences, but most CL stayed the same) • Orth-Rodgers & Associates • Under budget + on time => Add’l locations (UNLV) • Very high B/C ratio resulting

  8. Boulder Hwy Adaptive System • SCATS installed late 2008 • 10 intersections (8 on Boulder Hwy, plus 2 off) • Communication was a challenge • Detection reworking was a challenge • Not exactly a success (or failure) • Before-and-After showed no great improvement • Seems to require more maintenance ‘babysitting’ • No plans to expand SCATS

  9. FAST officially joins TMCPFS • The Pooled-Fund Study concept = State DOTs form a cooperative to conduct applied research • Many narrow-focused PFS have been created • FHWA administers the program • The TMC PFS is focused on needs and practices of Traffic Management Centers • RTC-FAST joined as an independent voice in 2009 • We also hosted this year’s Annual Meeting
