G8.1 Project title:
|
Operation Green Light Traffic Signal Advancements KS
|
|
G8.2 Project description: |
Enhances the OGL communications system with fiber optics in Leawood that will provide more robust communications and reliability and additional redundancy. Upgraded controllers in KCK and Leavenworth that are not up to date and capable of providing a high level of reliability. Also adds CCTV’s in KCK, Merriam and Leawood on high volumes routes in areas that currently do not have coverage to allow better observing of traffic patterns as well as enhanced ability to diagnose traffic signal malfunctions. Also is the advancement of HERE data acquisition for the Johnson County that will provide arterial performance measures

G7. Multiple agencies / jurisdictions?
|
Yes
The Regional Operation Green Light program is enhanced with fiber communications, vehicle detection, advanced traffic signal controllers and CCTV. HERE data included for Johnson County that will provide arterial performance data. This work will modernize the intersections to allow for more efficient operation for all users including pedestrians and transit

G8.4 Purpose and need:
|
Enhances the OGL communications system with fiber optics in Leawood that will provide more robust communications and reliability and additional redundancy. Upgrades 62 controllers in KCK and 1 in Leavenworth that are out of date and unable of providing a high level of reliability. Adds 12 CCTV’s in KCK, 1 in Merriam and Leawood on high volumes routes in areas that currently do not have coverage to allow better observing of traffic patterns as well as enhanced ability to diagnose traffic signal malfunctions. Vehicle detection to be added in KCK for 6 key approaches currently lacking detection. Also is the advancement of HERE data acquisition for the Johnson county region
