IMPACTS OF SIGNAL COORDINATION TECHNOLOGIES

This study focused on reviewing real-time control strategies as applied to traffic signals. It examined under what conditions these strategies would be cost-effective. Factors affecting performance included: levels of traffic saturation, signal spacing, directionality of flows and signal phasing and timing. A simulation model was developed to estimate traffic performance. The model has the ability to consider physical queues and analyze queue spillbacks along arterials.
