Project Descriptions
Arlington TLS -- Arlington, Texas
Kimley-Horn was selected by the City of Arlington to perform signal timing for
100 intersections under the Traffic Light Synchronization (TLS) program. The
services performed by Kimley-I-Iorn include: simulation of existing timing,
development of optimized signal timings (using PASSER 11-87 and TRANSYT-
7F), field fine tuning of the optimized signal timing, and simulation of the fine
tuned timing plans for inclusion in TLS-required documentation.

Garland TLS--Garland, Texas
Kimley-I-Iorn has been selected by the City of Garland to perform both signal
timing and design services at 40 intersections. The scope of services includes the
before and after simulation of both existing timings and optimized timings,
development of new signal riming plans (using PASSER II-87), and assistance
with the installation and fine-tuning of thc timing plans. Ten miles of new aerial
interconnect cable are also being designed to tie these intersections to the City's
closed-loop signal system.

City of University Park Signal Timing and Design (TLS) .- City of University
Park~ Texas
Kimley-Horn and Associates is currently under contract to the City of University
Park, Texas, to provide optimized signal timing for 32 signalized intersections
under the SDHPT Traffic Light Synchronization Program. As a part of this
project, we are working with the adjacent municipalities (the City of Dallas and
the Town of Highland Park) to affect signal coordination across boundar/es.

Kimley-Hom and Associates is currently under contract to the Town of Highland
Park, Texas, to provide optimized signal timing for 14 signalized intersections
under the SDHPT Traffic Light Synchronization Program. As a part of this
project, we are wo/king with the adjacent municipalities, (the City of Dallas and
the City of University Park) to affect signal coordination across boundaries. In
addition, we are developing PS & E for controller upgrades and traffic responsive
operation.

Signal System Design -- Charleston, South Carolina
Following Hurricane Hugo, Kimley-Horn was engaged by the City of Charleston
to "fast track" the design of a 150-intersection closed-loop signal system. Plans
and specifications were completed in time for the city to award bids for system
installation just nine.weeks after Kimley-Horn's notice to proceed.
The firm's scope also included collection of new turning movement counts at all
intersections; development of new timing plans and assistance with timing plan
installation and fine-tuning. PASSER 11-87 was used to generate the new plans
for 50 intersections in 9 subsystems, which consisted of individual crossing
arterials. TRANSYT-7F was used to generate the new plans for 100 intersections
in five subsystems that have a grid configuration.

Closed-Loop Signal System -- Rock Hill, South Carolina
K. imley-Horn was selected by the City of Rock Hill to design the expansion of
theix closed-loop system from a 12-intersection, single-subsystem configuration to
a 67-intersection, city-wide configuration. Kimley-Horn also developed new timing
plans using TRANSYT-7F and PASSER II-87 and assisted in the fine-tuning of
the new plans. The new system, which is now fully operational, has achieved
reductions in signal related stops and delay in excess of 50 percem.

Signal Timing Plans -- Richardson, Texas
Under contract to the City of Richardson, Kimley-Horn provided a.m. and p,m.
peak timing plans for 30 intersections under time-base coordination. PASSER II-
87 was used to develop these timing plans,

Dallas County Traffic Signalization Program -- Dallas, Texas
Kim_Icy-Horn was selected by Dallas County to optimize traffic signalization in six
distinct municipal jurisdictions in the north-central portion of the county--Addison,
Carrollton, Dallas, Farmers Branch, Garland, and Richardson. Timing has been
developed for over 250 intersections in approximately ,~0 subsystems. The firm
developed optimized traffic signal timing using SOAP, PASSER II and PASSER
IH, and TRANSYT-TF for study intersections, designed upgrades of intersection

signal control hardware to support improved timing, and effected coordinated
signal timing on continuous arterial streets without thc constraints of city
boundaries. Furthermore, we have developed an action plan to enhance
continuing operations of the program and are providing one-week trainings to
enable participating cities to effectively maintain and update timing plans. The
firm also has developed a framework and plan for similar projects in other areas
of the county.

Implementation Phase of Computerized Signal System . Fayetteville, North
Carolina
Kimley-Horn was retained by the North Carolina Department of Transportation
for the implementation phase of a 135-intersection UTCS-based signal system for
Fayetteville. Signal timing for the intersections was performed using PASSER II
for arterials and TRANSYT-7F for the CBD area. On-site fine-tuning has been
performed for these intersections, which included additional on-site timing plan
development to provide the best possible timing plans. Our scope also included
review of contractor submittals and documentation.

Computerized Signal System .. Lubbock, Texas
The firm completed feasfoility studies, preliminary engineering, and functional
design for the Lubbock system, and then helped the City communicate the
benefits of the selected alternative to the public. The citizens passed a bond issue
authorizing full City funding of a new, 130-intersection system. The firm prepared
the detailed design plans and specifications and the project was let to contract in
three parts, with all three contracts being completed on or ahead of schedule,
partially due to the project management techniques employed by Kimley-Hom.
The firm has completed implementation of the system, which is an enhanced
version of the FHWA's extended u-rcs software package, to which we have
interfaced our most up-to-date version of our FORCAST timing program. The
program includes the ability to automatically store approved timing plans in the
data base. Maintenance aspects of the system were important to the design, and

thc system minimizes the maintenance burden. Thc system also inc]udcd control
and display panels, a controller integration cabinet, and an environmental test
cabinet, all of which arc controlled by the computer to aid in diagnoses of
problems. Thc firm developed ten on-line timing plans for each of thc
subsystems, plus a back-up timing plan. The firm also developed a back-up
coordination system that uses the capabilities of the local communications units
to provide time-based back-up coordination. This scheme saved the City over
$120,000.
