VISSIM Microsimulation Analysis of Truck Signal Priority (Poster)
Stopped trucks increase congestion at intersections due to low acceleration rates (Fig. 2) while high volumes of trucks may block all lanes (Fig. 3). Congestion causes traffic delays that lead to economic and environmental costs for trucks and additional frustration for other drivers. Many studies and applications exist for transit signal priority (TSP), but truck signal priority (TkSP) is comparatively unknown.
