Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A traffic signal plays a major role in the overall safety and efficiency of traffic operations at an intersection. The type of operation strategy and signal timings utilized are typically based on the designed operation of the intersection at a desired Level of Service during peak traffic conditions. However, during off-peak traffic periods, the same strategy could cause extensive vehicle delay when much lower traffic volumes are present. The main objective of the study is to define the existing off-peak issues and propose solutions to mitigate problems. This study describes various off-peak period issues and includes reviews of modern traffic signal control systems. It also entails an evaluation of different traffic signal operation strategies which can be deployed to mitigate the off-peak issues. This study also covers flashing signal controls and adaptive control systems. Another objective is to perform a computer simulation which is included to extend the scope of the research. The results showed that upgrades and optimization of traffic signal controls can be an efficient way to decrease number of stops, gas consumption and vehicle emissions. The results of the study showed that actuated traffic signal controls are the best solution for low traffic volume periods. Implementation of actuated traffic controls can decrease overall delay, number of stops, gas consumption and vehicle emissions.

Download or read book Traffic Signal Timing Manual written by U.s. Department of Transportation and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report serves as a comprehensive guide to traffic signal timing and documents the tasks completed in association with its development. The focus of this document is on traffic signal control principles, practices, and procedures. It describes the relationship between traffic signal timing and transportation policy and addresses maintenance and operations of traffic signals. It represents a synthesis of traffic signal timing concepts and their application and focuses on the use of detection, related timing parameters, and resulting effects to users at the intersection. It discusses advanced topics briefly to raise awareness related to their use and application. The purpose of the Signal Timing Manual is to provide direction and guidance to managers, supervisors, and practitioners based on sound practice to proactively and comprehensively improve signal timing. The outcome of properly training staff and proactively operating and maintaining traffic signals is signal timing that reduces congestion and fuel consumption ultimately improving our quality of life and the air we breathe. This manual provides an easy-to-use concise, practical and modular guide on signal timing. The elements of signal timing from policy and funding considerations to timing plan development, assessment, and maintenance are covered in the manual. The manual is the culmination of research into practices across North America and serves as a reference for a range of practitioners, from those involved in the day to day management, operation and maintenance of traffic signals to those that plan, design, operate and maintain these systems.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comparative study of 5 signal timing control methods indicated that the most efficient method of signal control is the micrioprocessor which would allow an intersection to operate under actuated control during certain periods of the day and under predetermined timing patterns during other periods. The 5 signal timing methods considered were: Traffic Engineering Method, FHWA Design Manual Method, Fully Actuated Operation Method, Microprocessor with lagging Left-Turn Method, and Microprocessor with Leading Left-Turn Method. The "before" and "after" evaluation of these methods was made by pairing them in a series of six comparisons using time-lapse photography to supply vehicle data. The site selected for application of these comparisons was the Diamond Interchange of Interstate 95 Golfair Boulevard in Jacksonville, Florida. The study procedure is appropriate for signal timing studies made at: a diamond interchange, other interchange configurations with a ramp terminal and nearby signalized intersections, and a 2-way major street intersected by one or more one-way street pairs.

Book excerpt: This handbook, which was developed in recognition of the need for the compilation and dissemination of information on advanced traffic control systems, presents the basic principles for the planning, design, and implementation of such systems for urban streets and freeways. The presentation concept and organization of this handbook is developed from the viewpoint of systems engineering. Traffic control studies are described, and traffic control and surveillance concepts are reviewed. Hardware components are outlined, and computer concepts, and communication concepts are stated. Local and central controllers are described, as well as display, television and driver information systems. Available systems technology and candidate system definition, evaluation and implementation are also covered. The management of traffic control systems is discussed.

Book excerpt: A multi-disciplinary approach to transportation planning fundamentals The Transportation Planning Handbook is a comprehensive, practice-oriented reference that presents the fundamental concepts of transportation planning alongside proven techniques. This new fourth edition is more strongly focused on serving the needs of all users, the role of safety in the planning process, and transportation planning in the context of societal concerns, including the development of more sustainable transportation solutions. The content structure has been redesigned with a new format that promotes a more functionally driven multimodal approach to planning, design, and implementation, including guidance toward the latest tools and technology. The material has been updated to reflect the latest changes to major transportation resources such as the HCM, MUTCD, HSM, and more, including the most current ADA accessibility regulations. Transportation planning has historically followed the rational planning model of defining objectives, identifying problems, generating and evaluating alternatives, and developing plans. Planners are increasingly expected to adopt a more multi-disciplinary approach, especially in light of the rising importance of sustainability and environmental concerns. This book presents the fundamentals of transportation planning in a multidisciplinary context, giving readers a practical reference for day-to-day answers. Serve the needs of all users Incorporate safety into the planning process Examine the latest transportation planning software packages Get up to date on the latest standards, recommendations, and codes Developed by The Institute of Transportation Engineers, this book is the culmination of over seventy years of transportation planning solutions, fully updated to reflect the needs of a changing society. For a comprehensive guide with practical answers, The Transportation Planning Handbook is an essential reference.

Download or read book Late night traffic signal control strategies for arterial systems written by K. G. Courage and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late night low volume arterial roadway presents a specific signal aontrol problem. The control decision involves a trade off between the motorists on the artery and those on the cross streets. The motorists on the artery are irritated by frequent stops if signals are not coordinated, while those on the cross street are annoyed by a long waiting time if signals are coordinated. The choice between coordination and free operation is often subjective, especially when semi-actuated signals are involved. The paper presents a method to facilitate the choice between coordination and free operation on arterial roadways controlled by semi-actuated signals when traffic is light during off-peak hours. The decision is made based upon a disutility function which is a combination of the number of stops on the artery and the average cross street waiting time. A case study was performed to demonstrate the application of this methodology under the closed loop signal system in the City of Gainesville, Florida. The results indicate that this method provides a promising tool for arterial control with semi-actuated signals during late night hours.
