Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efficient public transportation has the potential to relieve traffic congestion and improve overall transportation system performance. In order to improve transit services, Transit Preferential Treatments (TPT) are often deployed to give transit vehicles priority over other vehicles at an intersection or along a corridor. Examples of such treatments are exclusive bus lanes, queue jumper lanes, and signal priority strategies. The objective of this study is threefold: 1) perform a person-based evaluation of alternative TPTs when considered individually and in combination, 2) develop a bus travel time prediction model along a signalized arterial, and 3) develop a real-time signal control system, which minimizes total person delay at an isolated intersection accounting for stochasticity in transit vehicle arrivals. This study first develops analytical models to estimate person delay and person discharge flow when various spatial and time TPTs are present at signalized intersections with and without near-side bus stops. This part of the research has contributed to the modeling of traffic along signalized arterials by improving the previous models to evaluate various TPT strategies with and without nearside bus stops. Next, a robust method to predict bus travel time along a signalized arterial is developed. This part of the research contributes to the bus travel time prediction models by estimating the status of traffic signals using automated vehicle location (AVL) data. The model decomposes bus travel time along signalized arterials and infers trajectories of the transit vehicles. Finally, the real-time signal control system is developed to provide priority to transit vehicles by assigning weights to transit vehicle delays based on their passenger occupancies as part of the optimization objective function. The system optimizes the movements by minimizing total person delay at the intersection. The system estimates bus arrival time at the intersection stopline and uses the developed analyitical models in the first part of the research to evaluate the person delay measure. This part of the research contributes to the real-time signal control systems by providing a priority window to account for the stochasticity in bus arrival times.

Book Synopsis Signalized Intersections by : Daiheng Ni
Download or read book Signalized Intersections written by Daiheng Ni and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-27 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook introduces the basics principles of intersection signalization including need studies, signal phasing, sequencing, timing, as well as more advanced topics such as detectors, controllers, actuated control schemes, and signal coordination. The book covers a variety of topics critical to the set up and operation of intersections controlled by traffic signals. Professor Ni imparts a basic understanding of how intersections work, what justifies intersection signalization, how to properly design phasing and timing plans for intersections, what is needed to run traffic-responsive signals, the workings of traffic controller cabinets, and how to set up signal coordination at multiple intersections—competencies essential to transportation professionals in charge of traffic operation at federal, state, and local levels. Aimed at students in transportation engineering programs with a focus on intersection signalization, the book is also ideal for researchers of traffic dynamics and municipal civil and transportation engineers.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research demonstrated the effectiveness of Transit Signal Priority (TSP) in improving bus corridor travel time in a simulated environment using real world data. TSP is a technology that provides preferential treatment to buses at signalized intersections. By considering different scenarios of activating bus signal priority when a bus is 3 or 5 minutes behind schedule, it was demonstrated that bus travel times improved significantly while there is little effect on delays for crossing street traffic. The case of providing signal priority for buses unconditionally resulted in significant crossing street delays for some signalized intersections with only minor improvement to bus travel time over both scenarios of Conditional priority. Evaluation was conducted by using micro-simulation and statistical analysis to compare Unconditional and Conditional TSP with the No TSP scenario. This evaluation looked at performance metrics (for buses and all vehicles) including average speed profiles, average travel times, average number of stops, and crossing street delay. Different Conditional TSP scenarios of activating TSP when a bus is 3 or 5 minutes behind schedule were considered. The simulation demonstrated that Conditional TSP significantly improved bus travel times with little effect on crossing street delays. The results also showed that utilizing TSP technology reduced the environmental emissions in the I-Drive corridor. Furthermore, field data was used to calculate actual passenger travel time savings and benefit cost ratio (7.92) that resulted from implementing conditional TSP. Conditional TSP 3 minutes behind schedule was determined to be the most beneficial and practical TSP scenario for real world implementation at both the corridor and regional levels.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 420: Operational and Institutional Agreements That Facilitate Regional Traffic Signal Operations (RTSOPs) identifies and highlights critical attributes of successful RTSOPs across the United States. Regions can use RTSOPs to help improve traffic flow as it crosses from one jurisdiction to another. A central focus of these programs is the coordination of signal timing on multi-jurisdictional arterials; however, RTSOPs can also facilitate the consideration of other traffic operations measures to improve regional mobility. Many RTSOPs have been established through regional metropolitan planning organizations, and successful RTSOPs also have been established by other organizations, including state and local departments of transportation and government corporations.
