A STUDY OF OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS OF INTERSECTIONS

TOTAL DELAY IN AN INTERSECTION IS STUDIED AS A MEASURE OF SIGNALIZATION EFFECTIVENESS. A TWO PRONGED APPROACH IS UNDERTAKEN, IN WHICH MANUAL COLLECTION METHODS ARE COMBINED WITH COMPUTER SENSOR SYSTEM COLLECTION EFFORTS. THE INDEPENDENTLY-DRAWN RESULTS ARE COMPARED AND THEIR RELATIVE USEFULNESS IN EVALUATING ALTERNATIVE SIGNALIZATION MODES DISCUSSED. A METHOD FOR IMPROVING INTERSECTION SIGNALIZATION IN TERMS OF MINIMIZING VEHICLE QUEUE LENGTH DELAY AND RED SIGNAL VIOLATORS IS SUGGESTED BY THE ANALYSIS RESULTS. /AUTHOR/
