City Engineer Gus Psihoyos recommends City Council approval to submit an
application in partnership with Dubuque Metropolitan Area Transportation Study
(DMATS) for an lowa Department of Transportation lowa Clean Air Attainment Program
(ICAAP) application in the amount of$818,250 to assist with funding Smart Traffic
Routing with Efficient and Effective Traffic Signals (STREETS) improvements.
ECIA Director of Transportation Chandra Ravada has led a multi-year effort to create
the STREETS project which 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 traffic signal timings through a seamless interface
between a signal timing model and signals used in the field. The system will reduce
congestion, shorten travel times, and improve safety in the metro area. By rerouting
traffic on the roads with extra capacities dynamically, the proposed system will reduce
traffic bottlenecks. DMATS and the City staff will also use the proposed system to
identify future congestion and safety improvement projects, and to evaluate these
projects following their implementation.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

RE: Grant Application Authorization for lowa DOT ICAAP Federal Fiscal Year
2020 Funding for STREETS Improvements
INTRODUCTION
The attached resolution provides the authorization for the City of Dubuque to submit an
application in partnership with Dubuque Metropolitan Area Transportation Study
(DMATS) for an lowa Department of Transportation (IADOT) lowa Clean Air Attainment
Program (ICAAP) to assist with funding Smart Traffic Routing with Efficient and
Effective Traffic Signals (STREETS) improvements. The requested amount is $818,250.
BACKGROUND
The STREETS project is designed to improve traffic conditions throughout the Duk�uque
metro area by distributing traffic more evenly on the region's major corridors. The
STREETS project will modify traffic signal timings through a seamless interface
between a signal timing model and signals used in the field. This system is on the
cutting edge of using artificial intelligence to improve the customer experience for
Dubuque residents, businesses and visitors. The system will reduce congestion,
shorten travel times, and improve safety in the metro area. By rerouting traffic on the
roads with extra capacities dynamically, the proposed system will reduce traffic
bottlenecks. DMATS and the City staff will also use the proposed system to identify
future congestion and safety improvement projects, and to evaluate these projects
following their implementation.
In the fall of 2016, the project received a commitment of $200,000 from IADOT and
$200,000 from DMATS to implement Task I -Systems Engineering and Task II- Model
Development. In return, IADOT has requested access to the City of Dubuque camera
system and data collected by the project.
In the winter of 2017, DMATS, IADOT and City staff had a work session with the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Overall, the FHWA staff felt the project would
be very successful if implemented as described and stated the following: "Combining
traffic control and traffic assignment — Holy Grail of traffic research — this pra�ect is
unusual because of the actual implementation piece. There has been theory presented
1
but not implemented. Very special project. Very hard to implement in large cities due to
their�size and costs. This is special because you have the perFect size to implement"
The FHWA recommended using a robust dynamic adaptive traffic signal model that can
have a predictive pattern match embedded to keep up with the system. They suggested
increasing the budget for the model as we need to have additional funding set aside for
data collection as part of model development. DMATS approved $200,000 in SurFace
Transportation Block Grant (STBG) Program funds in the summer of 2017 to meet the
model requirements costs.
The City of Dubuque Traffic Engineering also requested $500,000 to provide fiber
connectivity and to upgrade the signal systems at Asbury/Chaney and Asbury/Carter
intersections as part of the overall project. These improvements are necessary to
prepare the system for the STREETS project implementation. The DMATS board
approved these funds in summer of 2017.
DMATS and the City of Dubuque hired Iteris to complete Phase I- Systems Engineering
Process. The Systems Engineering was completed in August of 2018. The completed
Systems Engineering Process, serves as a guide for future phases of the project by
defining the roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders involved, as well as the
requirements of the system.
Based on the current status of the industry, the design team recommends completing a
Request for Information (RFI) before finalizing requirements and preparing the RFP.
Although sub-system components are mature, the rapid micro-simulation modeling of
real-time traffic characteristics with camera analytics and other decision-making has not
been completed within the signal system industry. The RFI will allow signal system
vendors to team up with micro-simulation, camera analytics and advanced traveler
information systems to present preliminary solutions and project specific challenges for
the ultimate deployment of the STREETS project. The result of the RFI will allow the
design team to improve the project requirements and RFP resulting in a better final
project.
DISCUSSION
An Opinion of Probable Cost (OPC) was developed to summarize the estimated costs
to construct STREETS based on requirements identified by project stakeholders.
Looking at potential funding, the project was broken into two deployment phases.
Phase 1 will include the integration and deployment of the STREETS software, servers,
camera analytics and traffic signal enhancements at 33 intersections. Phase 2 would
expand the system to add another 33 intersections. The estimated cost of Phase I is
$3,366,250, with an overall project estimate $5,062,250.
The estimated cost of Phase 1 includes engineering services to support the
development of the final RFP and appropriate plan packages for signal enhancements.
It also includes a 15% contingency at this time due to the unknown sub-system
component costs. The table below provides a cost breakdown by component for Phase
I of STREETS project.

The STREETS project requires good fiber connectivity through the metropolitan area to
be successful. The investment that the City has made over the last ten years in fiber
optic conduit and cabling connecting public buildings, traffic and security cameras and
traffic signal intersections has created a platform for the STREETS project.
DMATS, the City of Dubuque and IADOT have committed $1,050,000 to this project and
applied for following grants listed below:
• FHWA Advance Innovatians Deployrnent (AID) gr�ant for $998,000.
• State of lowa Traffic Safety Improvement Program (TSIP) grant for $500,000.
The estimated Phase I cost for the STREETS project is $3.367 million. The City needs
$818,250 assuming that the City and DMATS receives AID and TSIP grant. Table below

Introduction
The City of Dubuque, East Central Intergovernmental Association (ECIA), 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-
tem (STREETS) project The goal of the STREETS project is to develop a smart, next generation,
traffic management and control system that will provide sound information to the stakeholders
and serve as a framework for deployment of similar systems in small urban areas with popula-
tions under 100,000. Figure 1 shows the expected flow of data through the STREETS system.
The City of Dubuque is applying for$3,366,250 in ICAAP funding to implement the first phase of
the STREETS Project.

Subj ect: Dubuque STREETS Proj ect
Dear Chandra,
The District is supportive of the planned STREETS project in Dubuque. We believe that the
STREETS proj ect 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 proj ect 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 network should
make the entire system more efficient, and this could save on more expensive infrastructure
construction or reconstruction proj ects.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Bitting,
The lowa Highway Research Board (IHRB)serves as the Statewide Transportation Innovation Council
for the State of lowa. It has always been the goal of the IHRB to foster a culture for innovation and
make innovations standard practice in the State. The IHRB fully supports the Smart Traffic Routing
with Efficient and Effective Traffic Signals (STREETS) project to develop a smart, next-generation,
traffic management and control system for the Dubuque Metropolitan Planning Organization.
The STREETS project significantly accelerates the adoption of innovative technologies; improves
highway efficiency, safety, mobility, reliability, service life, environmental protection and sustainability;
and deploys new tools, techniques, and practices to accelerate the adoption of the proposed system.
The STREETS project is a pilot project in the State of lowa and it will greatly reduce delay on major
corridors within the Dubuque MPO region. Once implemented and tested, it will be promoted for
implementation in other parts of the state and will shine as a best practice for similar sized communities
across the country.
Sincerely,

Dear Dubuque STREETS project Evaluator,
I am writing to extoll the benefts to be gained through the implementation of the Dubuque STREETS
projed. Our mission at the lowa Department of Transportation is to be "Smarter, Simper and Customer
Driven." This project will advance our mission by improving traffc operations and driver information in
several ways.
Wfthin Dubuque the traffic signals will operate more effciently, and information will be shared with
drivers to help them make better trip decisions. Improving the distribution of trips on the street network
makes the entire system more efficient, without requiring much more expensive infrastrudure
construdion or reconstrudion. Beyond Dubuque, we are looking fonvard to this projed serving as a
pilot that other cities will be able to leam from and replicate to improve traffc operations. The adaptive
traffc signal systems also have the beneft of requiring less resources for future maintenance to keep
the same level of operational efficiency.
Sincerely,
