Final Report on Analysis of Corridor Delay under SCATS Adaptive Control System (Orchard Lake Road Corridor)

The study was designed to determine the change in travel time following the implementation of the Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS) in Oakland County, Michigan. A before/after comparison was used to examine the change in travel time on a specific corridor (Orchard Lake Road). The results of the study showed that corridor travel-time and intersection delay for the main street through traffic improved as a result of SCATS implementation. The corridor travel-time improved for both directions for both the peak and the non-peak periods. The reduction in corridor travel time ranged from 6.56% to 31.80%, with savings in travel time being higher during the non-peak periods.
