Lakeland Citywide Transit Signal Prioritization Phase II

Project Description: This project would deploy transit signal priority for City of Lakeland's remaining signals not included in Phase I Transit Signal Priority project.

Project Status: Planned

Project Stakeholders:

• City of Lakeland Traffic Operations
• Lakeland Area Mass Transit District dba the Citrus Connection

Project Service Packages:

• PT09: Transit Signal Priority (Lakeland Citrus Connection)

Project Information Flows:

Information Flow	Source Element	Destination Element	Status
local signal priority request	Lakeland Citrus Connection Transit Vehicles	City of Lakeland Field Equipment	Planned
right-of-way request notification	City of Lakeland Field Equipment	City of Lakeland Advanced Traffic Management System	Planned
signal control commands	City of Lakeland Advanced Traffic Management System	City of Lakeland Field Equipment	Planned
signal control plans	City of Lakeland Advanced Traffic Management System	City of Lakeland Field Equipment	Planned
traffic control priority request	Lakeland Citrus Connection Transit Dispatch	City of Lakeland Advanced Traffic Management System	Planned
transit vehicle schedule performance	Lakeland Citrus Connection Transit Vehicles	Lakeland Citrus Connection Transit Dispatch	Planned

Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

• City of Lakeland Advanced Traffic Management System - TMC Signal Control
• 1: The center shall remotely control traffic signal controllers.
• 10: The center shall adjust signal timing in respond to a signal prioritization, signal preemption, pedestrian call, multi-modal crossing activation, or other requests for right-of-way.


• City of Lakeland Field Equipment - Roadway Signal Control
• 1: The field element shall control traffic signals under center control.
• 10: The field element shall receive request for transit vehicle signal priority.


• Lakeland Citrus Connection Transit Dispatch - Transit Center Priority Management
• 1: The center shall analyze transit vehicle schedule performance to determine the need for priority along certain routes or at certain intersections.


• Lakeland Citrus Connection Transit Vehicles - Transit Vehicle Signal Priority
• 2: The transit vehicle shall send priority requests to traffic signal controllers at intersections, pedestrian crossings, and multimodal crossings on the roads (surface streets) and freeway (ramp controls) network that enable a transit vehicle schedule deviation to be corrected.
