Folsom Dam Road Traffic Analysis and Demand Management Plan
Due to Folsom Dams perceived vulnerability to terrorist attack, the Bureau of Reclamation indefinitely closed Folsom Dam Road to public traffic on February 28, 2003. Folsom Dam Road had carried between 16,000 and 18,000 vehicles per day. The traffic diverted due to road closure has overburdened the roads leading into central Folsom and its historic district. The closure of Folsom Dam Road has also had a negative impact to local businesses. The traffic volumes on some residential streets have increased dramatically. Quick responses and measures that would allow access to Folsom Dam Road without jeopardizing security for the dam are required. DKS is assisting City officials with a traffic diversion plan, preparing conceptual design plans for ITS field devices, and developing ITS initiatives for implementation and other safety and security measures aimed at mitigating the roads closure.

San Francisco Integrated Transportation Management System
(DKS is the overall System Manager for the design and deployment of the City’s Integrated Transportation Management System (ITMS). The ITMS provides for a comprehensive, real-time transportation management system for the City and County of San Francisco. At the heart of the ITMS is the City’s new Transportation Management Center (TMC). The system will be fully integrated with Caltrans, TravInfo, MUNI, the Office of Emergency Services, the Emergency Communications Department, and other regional agencies. The system includes incident and emergency management procedures and real-time data exchange between different agencies' systems. DKS designed all aspects of the ITMS including an entirely digital network with fiber optic trunklines throughout the City, ITS field devices such as closed circuit television cameras (CCTV) and variable message signs (DMS), detection stations, and the equipment to be housed within the TMC. This also included developing a database of the transportation system in GIS format (roadway signals, conduit, etc) used to facilitate development of the strategic plan. In addition, DKS is managing all system integration efforts including integration with the many agencies and the procurement of a new Central Transportation Management System.

PSRC RTP Update
The Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) selected DKS to lead a team to help update their Regional Transportation Plan, Destination 2030 and to respond to new federal planning requirements developed in SAFETEA-LU. One of the new requirements is that all metropolitan areas include a security element in their Regional Transportation Plan. DKS is assisting PSRC by developing an inventory of existing security plans and on-going security planning efforts. DKS has helped PSRC organize a Security Panel and a one-day Security workshop. DKS prepared an overview presentation for the workshop and helped to frame the questions being addressed by the workshop. DKS has also helped PSRC identify the gaps and deficiencies in the region with respect to transportation security and will be helping to identify the roles of PSRC and the other regional agencies in leading activities to address the gaps and deficiencies.

San Jose Airport Automated Traffic Management System
For this project, DKS developed the PS&E documents and is coordinating the design effort with several other construction projects in the area. The project included developing an ATMS strategic plan for the airport, the design of six PTZ and fixed CCTV camera locations located on airport access roads using fiber optic cable and fiber interconnect to five traffic signals, designing a large Dynamic Message Sign for the entrance to the airport, and installation of a plasma screen TV at the baggage claim for displaying security information and traffic congestion information adjacent to the airport. The project developed the software systems to control both the dynamic message sign and the baggage claim screen from the Airport Response Center.

Vacaville Browns Valley Parkway/ East Monte Vista Avenue Traffic Signal Emergency Preemption Project
DKS conducted field surveys and prepared the PS&E for the installation of Emergency Vehicle Pre-emption Equipment at 12 existing traffic signals along two major fire response routes. During design, DKS coordinated with pre-emption equipment manufacturer and City maintenance staff to determine optimal locations of field equipment, include test placement of various detectors and conducting dry runs and line-of-sight analysis. DKS also coordinated with the Public Works Department and Fire Department to determine the quantities and type of pre-emption equipment. DKS is also assisted the City with various Program Implementation tasks, including the coordination of training for Public Works and Fire Department personnel, development of operation and maintenance procedures for the system, and working with other mutual-aid providers to allow them to use the City pre-emption system.

US 101 EMERGENCY CORRIDOR
For the five cities in the Conejo Valley along US 101 in Los Angeles County, DKS has developed a plan for providing mobility in the corridor during an emergency. The plan includes diversion plans, signage and an enumeration of roles and responsibilities for all of the transportation and law-enforcement agencies that are involved during an emergency. The plan also includes a long-term plan for surveillance and traffic control infrastructure to allow Caltrans, the California Highway Patrol, Los Angeles County Fire Department and the cities in the corridor to monitor traffic flow and initiate changes in traffic management and traffic control on a dynamic basis during the emergency. The plan developed by DKS also provides guidance on local regional, state and federal funding programs that might be available for the project.

ODOT I-5 Bridge Communications, Security and Maintenance
Associates recently completed design of a security and maintenance system for the major Interstate 5 Columbia River Bridge that connects the states of Washington and Oregon. The new system includes a redundant fiber network, closed circuit television cameras and infrared sensors to monitor bridge operations, maintenance needs and bridge security – providing broad system functionality. The project utilized a fiber optic backbone. The project integrated video surveillance, programmable logic controllers, remote input/output devices, private branch exchange, radio, and data equipment on and off the bridge into a single logically organized system. This major project was performed under a tight 2-month deadline due to the restricted construction schedule on the bridge. DKS was the prime consultant responsible for preparing design plans, specifications and estimate for the installation of video cameras, monitors, multiplexers, switches, fiber optic cabling and conduit for the bridge. The final design and specifications include 25 cameras, a fully redundant fiber optic ring network, and these components were integrated with the bridge lift system controlled with Programmable Logic Controllers. DKS was responsible for providing a design that allows the transmission of video to the Bridge Operations Center, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Traffic Management Operations Center (TMOC) and the Southwest Washington Department of Transportation Traffic Operations Center. Staff at the Bridge Operations Center and the ODOT TMOC will monitor the video 24 hours per day/7 days per week. DKS also designed security cameras that were installed at the north and south end of the bridge that will automatically alert the bridge operators of movement in the area.
