INTRODUCTION
This project focuses on deploying connected vehicle and smart traffic signal technologies in two of the City’s busiest corridors: Katella Avenue and Harbor Boulevard. The City of Anaheim (the City) proposes installing Connected Vehicle (CV) technologies in these corridors as an initial deployment to support safety applications, including Red -Light Violation Warning (RLVW) on Harbor and CV -based Transit Signal Priority (TSP) and Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP).
This project is funded through the USDOT Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) program. The USDOT established the program to provide grants to eligible public sector agencies to conduct demonstration projects focused on advanced smart community technologies and systems in order to improve transportation efficiency and safety.
BACKGROUND
Like many cities, traffic crashes continue to be a significant source of congestion in the City of Anaheim. According to the University of California —Berkeley’s Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS), 1259 crashes with possible injury (complaint of pain) or higher occurred on roadways with an arterial or collector functional classification in the City in 2024 - of these, 521 were intersection -related. The majority of the crashes (71% ) were broadside crashes. Of the intersection-rated crashes, failure to yield right-of-way (39%) and disregard for traffic signals and signs (31%) were listed as the primary crash factors. While not all of these crashes can be eliminated with current CV applications, the RLVW is targeted to help reduce many of these types of crashes at signalized intersections.
In addition to safety considerations, CV applications are anticipated to improve agency efficiencies and responses. According to the latest TTI Mobility Report, the Los Angeles - Long Beach-Anaheim area ranked first among the most congested regions in the Un ited States, with over 905 million hours of delay. While freeway travel accounts for the vast majority of this delay (75%), arterial delay contributes to a quarter of this total regional delay.
Both Katella and Harbor experience average daily traffic demands of over 40,000 vehicles.
In this project, the City is proposing to install CV safety applications (including RLVW) and CV mobility applications (TSP and EVP) on Harbor Blvd. In addition, the ConSysTec Team will enhance the existing TSP/EVP system, building on CV technologies and applicable National Transportation Communications for ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) Protocol (NTCIP) device standards (NTCIP 1202, 1211, and 1218) to test and validate those standards. The Team will use the existing technologies along the Harbor Blvd. and Katella Ave. corridors and recommend adding/connecting RSUs to selected intersections along Katella Ave. Additional RSUs may also be recommended on parallel roads such as Ball Rd. and Cerritos Ave. to allow these routes to serve as a CV-technology-equipped detour route.

Over the past several years, significant advances have been made in developing national standards related to CV-based technologies. These standards allow for the direct exchange of critical information between vehicles and traffic signal equipment at inter sections to support applications such as RLVW, TSP, and EVP. This project also builds upon the success of the USDOT-funded NTCIP Compliance T ester Tool project developed for the City of Anaheim. The Tester Tool was developed to allow the City of Anaheim to explore conformance issues with different traffic signal controller manufacturers to the NTCIP 1202 standards. Conformance to the NTCIP 1202 standards is critical for ensuring communications interoperability in the City’s traffic signal system. .
PROJECT GOAL AND OBJECTIVES
This project aims to take the first step in developing and deploying an interoperable traffic system operations and management infrastructure that supports emerging connected vehicle (CV) technologies. The specific objectives of this project are as follows:
1. Using the established System Engineering process, identify the user needs and system requirements governing the development and deployment of CV technologies and applications in the City of Anaheim.
2. Test the operational readiness and interoperability of the City’s traffic system management and operations infrastructure to support critical CV applications, such as Red-Light Violation Warning (RLVW), Transit Signal Priority (TSP), and Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP).
3. Take the initial steps to developing a comprehensive CV -supported infrastructure through the prototype deployment of CV technologies in the Katella Avenue and Harbor Boulevard corridors.
4. Using data collected in the prototype corridors, estimate the potential benefits of using CV technologies to improve safety, mobility, and efficiency in the City’s transportation network.
5. Develop a protocol for prioritizing a full -scale Stage 2 implementation based on traffic patterns, transit use, collision data, and other factors.
6. Expand the capabilities of the T ester Tool to allow the City to test for communications interoperability between roadside units produced by different manufacturers and traffic signal controllers produced by various manufacturers to exchange information

• The types of traffic signal control equipment (including traffic signal controller and control software version)
• The types, locations, and versions of the detection systems used at each intersection • The types and locations of other ITS devices at each intersection • The available space in each traffic signal control cabinet • The line-of-sight availability at each intersection for determining radio range • The type and level of communications at each intersection Task 3b. Determine User Needs
Using input from the stakeholder meetings, the ConSysTec Team will identify and document the user needs to be addressed through CV technologies in the corridors, with focus on the CV end applications, RLVW, TSP, and EVP. The Team will use the stakeholder meetings conducted in Task 2a to help identify user needs. The T eam may also conduct individual interviews with stakeholder representatives to refine or clarify user needs. At the conclusion of this task, the Team will prepare a list of the identified user needs and present the list of needs to the City. If necessary, the Team will refine the user needs based on comments and concerns raised by the City . The Team will produce a final set of user needs, which will then be used for Task 3c.
Task 3c. Develop Concept of Operations
Using user needs identified in Task 3b and in the grant application, the ConSysTec T eam will develop a Concept of Operations (ConOps) describing how deploying CV technologies can improve safety and efficiency in the corridor. Potential applications to be considered include, but are not limited to, RLVW, automated traffic signal performanc e metrics (ATSPMs), TSP, and EVP. The ConOps will describe the characteristics of the proposed deployment from the perspective of different users and stakeholders. The ConOps will include operational scenarios to assist in identifying key aspects of the full deployment and identify what needs to be tested as part of Stage 1. The Team will submit the ConOps to the City for review and comment. ConSysTec will then finalize the ConOps document and present the final ConOps to the City if requested.
Task 3d. Prepare System Requirements
Once the final ConOps has been approved by City, the ConSysTec Team will document the requirements for the identified components of the full -scale Stage 2 deployment. These requirements will include the functional and performance requirements, interfaces with other systems, and data transfers and communications standards. Identifying interoperability requirements between the potential CV technologies (RSU and applications) will be critical to the system requirements. The Team will structure the system requirements so that the City can use the m for the procurement of all the systems and technologies needed for Stage 2 deployment. Once developed, the Team create s a Needs-to-Requirements-Traceability Matrix (NRTM) to ensure that all user needs are addressed by Procurement requirements.
