The City of Anaheim, California, entered the automated centralized traffic control era in 1989 to manage recurring and non-recurring traffic congestion due to event generators such as the Anaheim Stadium, the Anaheim Convention Center and Disneyland. Since then Anaheim's traffic growth has exploded due to the addition of the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim and new Disneyland expansions. To accommodate such growth, the City of Anaheim has determined that interoperability is essential for the maintenance and development of its traffic control systems. Interoperability provides staff with the tools necessary to extend the life of existing systems and the ability to incorporate exciting upcoming traffic control strategies. This paper outlines the City's transition strategy consisting of three main phases: Standardizing Systems and Protocols, Exchanging Real-Time Data, and Migrating to Future Systems. It lists the benefits of interoperability and presents a path to attain this goal. It also describes the important role that the NTCIP protocols are expected to play in achieving interoperability in the City of Anaheim. |
