| Summary: | actuated system performance improved when the arterial's arterial green times is possible. Development of an advanced controlling isolated coordinated pretimed phase was reduced from its optimum coordinated system, and to recommend more efficient coordination using actuated control, to determine better ways covering a range of arterial geometry, traffic volumes, and detectors work and the traffic signals are coordinated. employing traffic actuated control. It was observed that fluctuations using detectors on all approaches. Application I indicate that green splits have to be more perfectly tuned in insight into the operational performance of various arterial intersections because they respond to random traffic levels for a g' en cycle length. At low volumes, any NETSIM simulation results for pretimed control demonstrate performance of various traffic models providing arterial pretimed operation for optimal performance at higher volume pretimed value using existing actuated control technology. reasonable signal timing strategy works well as long as the Representative traffic control problems were modeled into a signal controller to implement the recommended control signal timing strategies is limited. The purposes of this significant improvement to the arterial is only possible by statistical testbed using TRAF-NETSIM. A series of scenarios strategies for coordination using actuated control. strategy is proposed. study were to develop a better understanding of the that PASSER 11-90's green splits are optimal and any This finding suggests that a more optimal allocation of to coordinated arterial operations is a more complex task and to use the added flexibility of actuated control in a traffic actuated control settings were tested. The results Traffic actuated signals have been efficiently used in |
