DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF ON-LINE STRATEGIES FOR OPTIMAL INTERSECTION CONTROL. PHASE 2. OFF-LINE EVALUATION OF CONTROL STRATEGIES AND DEVELOPMENT OF A LIVE LABORATORY

This project evaluates various intersection control strategies in a simulated environment and also helped establish a live laboratory for use in future testing of new strategies. The report reviews major intersection control strategies with adaptive and on-line timing generation features. In addition, it details simulation result for the OPAC control strategy. The NETSIM simulator created the simulation environment for a test network that included part of downtown Minneapolis. Comparison results indicate that OPAC performs best with low-traffic demands, and pretimed control was the most effective during peak periods when traffic demand reached capacity.
