RE: Application Authorization for an lowa Clean Air Attainment Program (ICAAP)
grant for Smart Traffic Routing with Efficient Traffic Signals (STREETS) Phase II
INTRODUCTION
The attached resolution provides the authorization for the City of Dubuque to officially submit an
application for an lowa Clean Air Attainment Program (ICAAP) grant to assist with funding
STREETS Phase II.
BACKGROUND
The City of Dubuque, East Central Intergovernmental Association (ECIA), the Dubuque Metro-
politan Area Transportation Study (DMATS) and the lowa Department of Transportation (lowa
DOT) have partnered to develop the Smart Traffic Routing with Efficient & Effective Traffic Sys-
tems (STREETS) project. The goal of the STREETS project is to develop a smart, next genera-
tion traffic management and control system that will provide sound information to the stakehold-
ers and serve as a framework for the deployment of similar systems in small urban areas with
populations under 100,000.
The City of Dubuque is applying for$1.1 million in lowa Clean Air Attainment Program (ICAAP)
funding to implement Phase II of the STREETS project after completion of the Phase I in April
2024.
The STREETS project will use advanced traffic control strategies to enable dynamic traffic rout-
ing, which maximizes the use of existing roadway capacities in the Dubuque metropolitan area.
The project will ultimately cover fifteen (15) corridors with 68 primary signalized intersections
and an additional 48 secondary signalized intersections within the City of Dubuque. The benefits
of implementing the STREETS project include:
• Reduced emissions
• Reduced congestion
• Improved travel times
• Improved safety
• Reduced wear and tear on major corridors
• Enhanced system monitoring capabilities
STREETS will reduce congestion and vehicle emissions by rerouting traffic from congested
roads to roads with available capacities. The STREETS system will dynamically react to
congestion which will be detected and predicted by the microsimulation model and will change
signal timing based on predicted traffic flow while sending congestion and alternate route
information to drivers.
Implementation of the STREETS program requires more improvements to signal systems and
ITS infrastructure to meet the operational requirements of the system.
Project Phases
The project is broken down into two phases. Phase I is currently being implemented and is ex-
pected to go live by April 2024. Phase I had a budget of$3.6 million and covered the integration
and deployment of the STREETS software, servers, camera analytics and traffic signal
enhancements for 38 intersections.
Phase II will expand the system to the City of Dubuque's remaining 78 signalized intersections.
The intersections are divided into two groups: 30 primary intersections and 48 secondary
intersections. The project team has identified the primary intersections as the most important for
traffic routing. Phase II primary intersections will receive traffic signal enhancements equal to
the 38 Phase I intersections. Phase II secondary intersections will not require the same level of
signal enhancements as the primary intersections. Phase II intersections will be fitted with signal
enhancements that will allow them to connect into and function as part of the STREETS system.
DISCUSSION
This grant application is requesting funding from the State of lowa's ICAAP funds in the amount
of$1,100,000. Phase II implementation will follow the deployment of Phase I, which is expected
to be completed by April of 2024. Phase II will expand implementation of the STREETS system
from the 38 Phase I intersections to all 116 signalized intersections in the city of Dubuque.
Intersections added to the system in Phase II include 30 primary signalized intersections and 48
secondary signalized intersections. Primary intersections will receive traffic signal
enhancements equal to the Phase I intersections while secondary intersections will receive
signal enhancements that will allow them to be connected into the STREETS system.
With Phase II, the number of STREETS project corridors will be expanded from seven to fifteen,
and two Phase I corridors (Asbury Rd and JFK Road) will have intersections added. The
estimated $2.3 million Phase II budget includes project management and coordination, model
updates, equipment purchases and installation, and system set up and configuration.
Attachment C provides an itemized breakdown of all costs.
The corridors used in Phase II are heavily traveled corridors. Most of the region's corridors are
at level of service C or D, with some locations on Central Ave reaching level of service E. The
MPO's travel demand model projects declining levels of service on many of the study area corri-
dors by 2050.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City submit the ICAAP grant application with the lowa Department of
Transportation to assist with funding STREETS Phase II.
BUDGETIMPACT
An Opinion of Probable Cost (OPC) was developed to summarize the estimated costs of com-
pleting the STREETS project based on requirements chosen by project stakeholders. Phase II
will cost an estimated $2.3 million to implement. The City of Dubuque ICAAP request for Phase
II is $1,100,000.

A. NARRATIVE
Introduction
The City of Dubuque, East Central Intergovernmental Association (ECIA), the Dubuque Metro-
politan Area Transportation Study (DMATS) and the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa
DOT) have partnered to develop the Smart Traffic Routing with Efficient& Effective Traffic Sys-
tems (STREETS)project. The goal of the STREETS project is to develop a smart, next genera-
tion traffic management and control system that will provide sound information to the stakehold-
ers and serve as a framework for the deployment of similar systems in small urban areas with
populations under 100,000.
The City of Dubuque is applying far $1.1 million in Iowa Clean Air Attainment Program
(ICAAP) funding to implement Phase II of the streets project after completion of the Phase I in
April 2024.
STREETS Project
The STREETS project will use advanced traffic control strategies to enable dynamic traffic rout-
ing, which maximizes the use of existing roadway capacities in the Dubuque metropolitan area.
The project will ultimately cover fifteen (15) corridors with 68 primary signalized intersections
and an additional 48 secondary signalized intersections within the City of Dubuque. The benefits
of implementing the STREETS project include:
• Reduced emissions
• Reduced congestion
• Improved travel times
• Improved safety
• Reduced wear and tear on major corridors
• Enhanced system monitoring capabilities
STREETS will reduce congestion and vehicle emissions by rerouting traffic from congested
roads to roads with available capacities. The STREETS system will dynamically react to conges-
tion which will be detected and predicted by the microsimulation model and will change signal
timing based on predicted traffic flow while sending congestion and alternate route information
to drivers.
Implementation of the STREETS program requires more improvements to signal systems and
ITS infrastructure to meet the operational requirements of the system.
Project Phases
The project is broken down into two phases. Phase I is currently being implemented and is ex-
pected to go live by April 2024. Phase I had a budget of$3.6 million and covered the integration
and deployment of the STREETS software, servers, camera analytics and traffic signal enhance-
ments for 38 intersections.
Phase II, will eXpand the system to the City of Dubuque's remaining 78 signalized intersec-
tions. The intersections are divided into two groups: 30 primary intersections and 48 secondary
intersections. The project team has identified the primary intersections as the most important for
traffic routing. Phase II primary intersections will receive traffic signal enhancements equal to
the 38 Phase I intersections. Phase II secondary intersections will not require the same level of
6
A. NARRATIVE
signal enhancements as the primary intersections. Phase II intersections will be fitted with signal
enhancements that will allow them to connect into and function as part of the STREETS system.
An Opinion of Probable Cost (OPC) was developed to summarize the estimated costs of com-
pleting the STREETS project based on requirements chosen by project stakeholders. Phase II
will cost an estimated $2.3 million to implement. The City of Dubuque ICAAP request for Phase
II is $1,100,000.
The completed Systems Engineering Process serves as a guide Phase II of the project by identi-
fying the roles and responsibilities for the stakeholders involved as well as what the system will
require for implementation. The estimated cost of Phase II includes engineering services to sup-
port the development of the final RFP and appropriate plan packages for signal enhancements.
Emissions Reductions
Emissions calculations for Phase I have shown that the project yields high levels of carbon re-
duction for intersections in Dubuque. Completion of Phase II will help bring vehicle emissions to
an even lower point. The two phases of the STREETS project are codependent and both phases
must be implemented to achieve the project goals. Implementation of only Phase I would limit
the corridors available to the system to use for dynamic traf�ic routing, resulting in diminished
system capability and limited ability to reduce delay and vehicle emissions. Because both phases
of the project are interrelated, the project team would like to request that their emissions reduc-
tion calculations be considered together. Emissions calculations for both Phase I and Phase II are
provided in Attachment G.
Phase I Implementation:
The City of Dubuque and ECIA hired Parsons as the consultant to implement Phase I of the
STREETS project covering 38 intersections.
Phase I of the project included five major components: (1) Travel Demand Model(TDM); (2)
Microsimulation Traffic Model (MTM); (3) Intelligent traffic signal control (4)An automated
Decision Support System (DSS); and(5) advanced traveler Information System (ATIS) to ad-
dress transportation demand and supply.
The STREETS solution uses Parsons iNETOO ATMS integrated with Aimsun Next. iNETOO is a
comprehensive traffic management platform with a robust and flexible DSS.Aimsun Next is a
comprehensive traffic modeling software that integrates travel demand modeling, static and dy-
namic traffic assignment, and macroscopic-mesoscopic/mesoscopic-microscopic hybrid simula-
tors.
The system, illustrated in Figure 1, leverages an Aimsun Live model to predict near-future traf�ic
condition horizons (i.e., 15, 30, 45 minutes) for the DSS module. The system models the de-
mands, routing, and traffic into and throughout the city of Dubuque. The model includes major
arterials throughout the defined study area, including nine corridors.
The Aimsun Live model is a previously calibrated simulation that was developed using existing
traffic conditions and the Dubuque Metropolitan Area Transportation Study's (DMATS) existing
TRANSCAD regional model.

The Live model constantly compares the forecasted results to the future observed condition (e.g.,
integrated Inrix/Acyclica travel times and observed volumes) and provides an accurate report.
The system provides full traffic signal control and dashboards, including Automated Traf�ic
Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM), along with the health monitoring of the signal system
and its infrastructure. The iNET�Intelligent Intersections module provides a real-time method
for maintaining and monitoring performance for a selected typical range. The dashboard pro-
vides a summary of current operations over a user-selected time range and provides the ability to
compare them, continually updating traffic signal parameters for optimal operations. The system
provides a comprehensive dashboard for each metric as a single number and in graphical form.
The video analytics module includes a flexible and cost-effective approach to performing ad-
vanced analytics of live video by leveraging recent advances in machine learning and graphics
processing unit (GPU) technologies. The Video Analytics module integrates with the City's exist-
ing Milestone video management system to provide vehicle detection capabilities and provide
input for the system monitoring, while also providing the ability to generate automated responses
based on the module outputs.
The system provides the users of the transportation system with real-time information that can
be used to make decisions about route choices, estimate travel times, and avoid congestion. The
ATIS is based on a Responsive Web Design (RWD) approach allowing web pages to render well
on all screen sizes and resolutions while ensuring good usability. The ATIS site provides a color-
coded map displaying traffic conditions, travel times through the corridors and event details.
8
All the appropriate details are automatically updated on the website and push to the appropriate
DMS. The solution provides a standards-based ATIS Application Programming Interface (API)
to feed the State's traffic website or other third-party providers as approved by the City.
The travel time module interfaces with the existing Acyclica system and Inrix data to provide
travel times to the system and the microsimulation modeL Travel times are shown on the iNET�
ATMS, providing a clear overall operational performance integrated with other modules and
form of reports for each corridor. Travel times can also be displayed to motorists on DMS signs
or posted to other media via the ATIS module.
The DMS module provides a comprehensive set of features to monitor, manage, and control all
the dynamic message signs in the system. The locations of the signs, as well as access to the
signs, are available directly from the system map. The color coding of the icons indicates the
sign's current status, and icon tooltips are available for viewing the current message on the sign.
The system drives two types of signs. Full matrix DMS and travel time inserts on combination
(fixed and dynamic) signs. Figure 2 provides sign examples

Phase II Implementation
Phase II implementation will follow the deployment of Phase I, which is expected to be com-
pleted by April of 2024. Phase II will expand implementation of the STREETS system from the
38 Phase I intersections to all 116 signalized intersections in the city of Dubuque. Intersections
added to the system in Phase II include 30 primary signalized intersections and 48 secondary
signalized intersections. Primary intersections will receive traffic signal enhancements equal to
the Phase I intersections while secondary intersections will receive signal enhancements that will
allow them to be connected into the STREETS system.
With Phase II, the number of STREETS project corridors will be expanded from seven to fif-
teen, and two Phase I corridors (Asbury Rd and JFK Road) will have intersections added. The
estimated $2.3 million Phase II budget includes project management and coordination, model
updates, equipment purchases and installation, and system set up and configuration.Attachment
C provides an itemized breakdown of all costs.
The corridors used in Phase II are heavily traveled corridors. Most of the region's corridars are
at level of service C or D, with some locations on Central Ave reaching level of service E. The
MPO's travel demand model projects declining levels of service on many of the study area corri-
dors by 2050. The following pages contain summaries of each corridor in Phase Il. The summary
includes a full corridor diagram providing traffic volume and speed information for each corridor.

E. OFFICIAL CERTIFICATION
The Dubuque City Council will approve the following resolution
RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF AN IOWA CLEAN AIR ATTAINMENT PROGRAM
APPLICATION WITH THE IOWA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (lowa DOT) IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
DUBUQUE METROPOLITIAN AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY (DMATS) TO ASSIST WITH THE FUNDING
OF SMART TRAFFIC ROUTING WITH EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE TRAFFIC SIGNALS (STREETS)
IMPROVEMENTS PHASE II.
Whereas, the STREETS project is designed to improve traffic conditions throughout the
Dubuque metro area by distributing traffic more evenly on the region's major corridors. The
STREETS project will modify the signal timings through a seamless interface between a signal
timing model and signals used in the field; and
Whereas, the City has determined that STREETS project will reduce congestion, shorten
travel times, improve air quality, and improve safety in the metro area. By rerouting traffic on the
roads with extra capacities dynamically, it is expected that the proposed system will reduce traffic
bottlenecks as recommended by the adopted East-West Corridor Study; and
Whereas, the City has implemented Phase I of the STREETS Improvements on several

Subject: Dubuque STREETS Project
Dear Jared,
The District is supportive of the planned STREETS project in Dubuque and their application for
Iowa Clean Air Attainment Program funding. We believe that the STREETS project could help
reduce congestion and delay on the primary system by dynamically rerouting traffic onto roads
with extra capacity within local system,using adaptive signals and real-time traveler information.
The STREETS project could also improve overall truck movement on the primary system and
hence create a more reliable freight system for the region. Improving the distribution of trips on
the street netwark should make the entire system more efficient, and this could save on more
expensive infrastructure construction or reconstruction projects.
Sincerely,
�� �.�.(���.

Dear Dubuque STREETS project Evaluator,
I am writing to extoll the benefits to be gained through the implementation of the Dubuque
STREETS project. Our core focus at the lowa Department of Transportation is "Making Lives
Better Through Transportation." This project will advance that focus by improving traffic
operations and driver information in several ways.
Within and around Dubuque, information will be shared with drivers in multiple ways to help
them make better trip and routing decisions. Improving the distribution of trips on the street
network will make the entire system more efficient, without requiring expensive infrastructure
construction or reconstruction. Beyond Dubuque, we are hoping these efforts will serve as a
pilot that other cities will be able to learn from and replicate to improve traffic operations.
Getting critical information to drivers in an efficient manner is one of our biggest challenges, and
the STREETS project is an opportunity to make a transformational advancement in delivering
traveler information.
Sincerely,
- �l
