A SIMULATION ANALYSIS OF PEDESTRIAN ACTUATED TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONTROL SYSTEM

To aid design and evaluation of pedestrian actuated traffic signal control system, a simulation model is used along with theoretical considerations to develop a set of equations which depict the performance of the system in terms of frequency of pedestrian interference, traffic delay, and queue length. The equations may be useful in identifying optimal settings of the system. /Author/TRRL/
