| Summary: | accurately quantify delay differences. Nevertheless, the and interchange. The strategy for undersaturated conditions approach entails dividing the arterial-interchange system arterial signal arterial streets. There are significant functional be beneficial. This will be the case when the optimal cycle components can be estimated by applying methodologies and conditions on the arterial conducive to good progression across the arterial- control were developed for undersaturated and oversaturated control. An approach for evaluating uncoordinated and coordinated interchange-arterial control was developed. The coordination, if any. determine the conditions under which it would be beneficial differences between diamond interchanges and arterial given to the traffic signal control. The objective of this guideline to estimate performance changes when changing from heuristics developed in this thesis. The estimated hypothetical arterial-interchange system using microscopic In urban areas, diamond interchanges are often located on integrating diamond interchange signal control and arterial interchange and arterial signal control could interchange and the closest arterial signal is I interchange interface. interchange systems are similar-probably not differing by interchange, and (iii) the arterial. interchange interface. into three components, (i) the arterial, (ii) the lengths of the arterial and mesoscopic or microscopic simulate' ion should be used to more than 10 to 15 seconds-and when the spacing between the must are then aggregated to estimate of the performance of particular cycle lengths, the coordination of diamond performance estimate may be compared to the performance under performance of the three components under coordinated control Separate strategies for coordinating diamond interchange and simulation. Results indicated that the methodologies and street signal control. Specifically, the study attempted. to streets, as arterial streets serve mainly through traffic, study indicated that under some conditions, notably The benefits of coordinated control on each of these the combined system under coordination. The combined thesis was to formulate and evaluate a strategy for to coordinate diamond interchange and arterial signal to these functional differences, special attention should be uncoordinated control, to determine the benefits of uncoordinated to coordinated control, but ideally, was then tested on a while diamond interchanges serve mainly turning traffic.
