Description
Summary:	Also, an arbitrary link was established to make NETSIM runs. arterial signal systems operate under multi-phase operation. deterministic model. Also, it was recommended that DDOFF be enhanced further to account for spillbacks and dispersion in estimation model was developed using this delay-difference- found that with certain enhancements, DDOFF was replicating incurred by traffic because of queuing at the traffic signal It was found that DDOFF gave delay estimates significantly larger for short links and high VIC cases. It was concluded long links. Finally, DDOFF could be expanded to work for model for calculating delay as a function of offset between of-offset technique for theoretically estimating delay offset technique is a signal control concept used for on the downstream end of the link. This model is applicable oversaturated cases making it a more powerful tool. PASSER IR results. The delay results from DDOFF were almost phase operation or for a generic link. The results were phase operation to work for diamond interchanges. The phase operation. First, the model was expanded for three results were validated against PASSER 111. PASSER III is a signalization. The expanded model was named DDOFF. It was similar to NETSIM. DDOFF does not account for blockage or simulation program which reflects field conditions closely. So, under this work, this delay model was expanded for multi- software package used to analyze diamond interchange spill back delays experienced in real time for high volume strategic optimization of offsets in a fixed time signal that DDOFF performs well given its limitations being a that it worked only for two-phase operation. Today, most the same as PASSER Ill. Next, DDOFF was expanded for four the traffic signals of a link. The delay-difference-of This thesis presents the enhancements made to an existing timing plan for an arterial or a closed network. A delay traffic. So, the difference in NETSIM and DDOFF delays were under certain assumptions. One significant limitation was validated against NETSIM simulations. NETSIM is a computer
