In order to understand both how the I-210 corridor operates and how well it operates, the project team developed a detailed inventory of the corridor's transportation systems, management assets, and current operational status, including:
- Traffic detection systems (traffic sensors, CCTV camera systems, Bluetooth travel time monitoring systems)
- Traffic management systems (signal controller types, type of signal operations, centralized traffic signal control systems)
- Traveler information systems (changeable message signs, 511 systems, etc.)
- Transit systems (light-rail systems, express commuter buses, commuter rail)
- Parking systems (park-and-ride lots, general parking facilities)
- Operations (travel demand, bottlenecks, travel times, safety)
This enabled the team to:
- Assess the health of corridor systems
- Get a more comprehensive understanding of the corridor, including problem areas
- Begin identifying the needs of corridor users
