Cost
The cost of retiming 16 signals at the Mall of Millenia (Florida) was about $3,100 per intersection.
October 2005
Orlando,Florida,United States
Summary Information
Optimizing signal timing is considered a low-cost approach to reducing congestion. Based on data from six separate studies, the costs range from $2,500 to $3,100 per signal per update. While this range is reasonable, costs could be slightly more or less. A cost summary based on the City of Orlando’s Millenia Mall Signal Retiming Project is presented below; links to cost summaries from the other five studies as well as the synthesized costs summary are also provided.
Major changes in traffic patterns have occurred due to continued growth around the Mall at Millenia and the opening of the nearby Interstate-4 (I-4) interchange in Orlando, Florida. The City of Orlando contracted for the development of traffic signal timing plans to provide coordination and manage traffic throughout the area. The scope of work included traffic signal plans preparation, data collection, and field observation for fine-tuning of the timing plans.
The project encompassed the following six services:
