EXPLANATION
On March 16, 2016, San Diego Port Tenants Association submitted the "Port of San Diego
Sustainable Freight Demonstration Project" (GFO 15-604: Freight Transportation
Projects at California Seaports) to the California Energy Commission (CEC). The project
was awarded and is funded through the CEC's Alternative and Renewable Fuel and
Vehicle Technology Program.
The project includes a demonstration of Freight Signal Priority (FSP) — providing traffic
signal priority for commercial vehicles in order to reduce stops, fuel consumption and
related emissions, and to improve travel time reliability and traffic safety at intersections.
In order to achieve the FSP project goals and success, the City of National City with the
San Diego Port Tenants Association, STC Traffic, Inc. and DENSO International America
(FSP Team) have proposed a FSP Pilot Project Demonstration (FSP Pilot Project) for
corridor traffic signal operations beginning at Harbor Drive and Cesar E. Chavez Parkway
and ending at Tidelands Avenue and Bay Marina Drive, as shown in Attachment A.
In order to facilitate the FSP Pilot Project, a Cooperative Agreement must be signed with
other public entities to allow for the collection and sharing of Real Time Traffic Signal Data
and other related data. This Cooperative Agreement would allow the FSP Team to
collaborate to develop strategies and systems for use in maximizing the efficiency of
transportation end users and thus the overall capacity of existing transportation networks.
The FSP Pilot Project will study potential to reduce emissions of air pollutants and
greenhouse gas emissions from freight movement along Harbor Drive. The City Data, as
defined in the Cooperative Agreement may be available to the FSP Team at no cost.
Furthermore, City Data is not confidential and does not identify transportation end users.
In addition, this Cooperative Agreement would allow the FSP Team to install physical
equipment in the City's right-of-way that will allow the collection of Real Time Traffic Signal
Data and other related data. It should be noted that physical equipment will be removed
and relocated if necessary by the FSP Team at their sole expense at the City's discretion.
By authorizing this Cooperative Agreement, the FSP Team would be permitted to obtain
access to the Real Time Traffic Signal Data in exchange for providing related inventories,
signal performance metrics, and other formatted data products, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Cooperative Agreement. This will allow the FSP Team to use the data
to improve freight operations through implementation of the FSP technology to improve
-1-
truck freight performance or efficiency and ride comfort for drivers or operators.
Additionally, it would provide information to the driver or operator, monitor driving
behaviors or apply automated features.
