TWO PHASE TRAFFIC SIGNAL TIMING WITH 'CONFLICT POINT METHOD'

Traditional methods for the design of signal timings are based on those parameters measured at the stop line. The actual operation of an intersection is in reality dependent on 'conflict' of movements within the intersection. A typical example is the conflict between a through movement and a left turning (in 'China') movement in a green period. This note identifies all conflict situations in a two phase signal design. Mathematical expressions for cycle length, green and yellow periods are provided and are illustrated with a numerical example. (Author/TRRL)
