Evaluation of ACS Lite Adaptive Control using Sensys Arterial Travel Time Data

This paper describes the deployment of an Adaptive Control Software (ACS) Lite adaptive control system on an arterial in Atlanta, Georgia, and presents a performance evaluation including arterial travel time measures obtained using a new vehicle re-identification Sensys Arterial Travel Time System produced by Sensys Networks Incorporated. The results of this study show that the deployed ACS Lite system substantially reduced arterial travel time and side-street queue lengths during peak traffic flow periods. This in turn improves system efficiency, thereby reducing vehicle emissions and fuel consumption.
