Pleasant Hill Road ATMS Improvements from Sunset Street to Fulton County Line

The proposed project is located along Pleasant Hill Road between an area near the Fulton County line at the Chattahoochee River Bridge and Sunset Street, just east of Buford Highway. The project area currently consists of 9 signalized intersections, several unsignalized intersections, and has limited Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) communications infrastructure capable of handling Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS). The proposed project would install 6 utility poles for ITS. The purpose of this project is to install ITS devices such as CCTV cameras, detector units, and ITS communication network to perform the functionalities of ATMS along the project corridor which would include monitoring and early detection of arterial incidents, monitoring of accident "hot spots" to identify potential remedies, signal timing monitoring and fine tuning, signal trouble call verification allowing timely and proper dispatch of required resources, and detour routes monitoring and implementation. The project would consist of installing primary ITS components which include 48 single mode fiber optic trunk, ethernet capable communication devices, such as BBS controllers, conflict monitors and intersection video detection system remote management hardware, CCTV cameras for monitoring of signalized intersections, and a Corridor detection system. The project design would integrate the proposed ITS system into the existing network with sufficient built-in redundancy. All work would be performed within the existing right-of-way and no new right-of-way or easements would be required. The total project length is approximately 2.85 miles. With the exception of the proposed installation of 6 new utility poles, the proposed project meets the requirements of the 2007 MOU entitled 'No Potential to Cause Effects'.
