Book Synopsis Traffic Signal Optimization with Transit Priority by : Eleni Christofa
Download or read book Traffic Signal Optimization with Transit Priority written by Eleni Christofa and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traffic responsive signal control with Transit Signal Priority (TSP) is a strategy that is increasingly used to improve transit operations in urban networks. However, none of the existing real-time signal control systems have explicitly incorporated the passenger occupancy of transit vehicles in granting priority or have effectively addressed issues such as the provision of priority to transit vehicles traveling in conflicting directions at signalized intersections. The contribution of this dissertation is the development of a person-based traffic responsive signal control system with TSP that minimizes total person delay in a network by explicitly considering all vehicles' passenger occupancy and transit schedule delay. By using such conditions, the issue of assigning priority to transit vehicles traveling in conflicting directions is also addressed in an efficient way. In addition, the impact of these priority strategies on auto traffic is addressed by minimizing the total person delay in the network under consideration and assigning penalties for interrupting the progression of platoons on arterials. The system is first developed for isolated intersections, and then extended to arterial signalized networks. Evaluation tests for a wide range of traffic and transit operating characteristics show that significant reductions in transit passenger delay can be achieved without substantially increasing auto passenger delay. Furthermore, the system achieves lower vehicle delays compared to signal settings obtained by state-of-the-art signal optimization software. Finally, it utilizes readily deployable technologies, which provide real-time information such as sensors, Automated Vehicle Location and Automated Passenger Counter systems and can be implemented on existing infrastructure in urban multimodal networks.

Book Synopsis Transit Signal Priority Project, Phase II by : Hesham Rakha
Download or read book Transit Signal Priority Project, Phase II written by Hesham Rakha and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transit Signal Priority (TSP) is recognized as an emerging technology that is capable of enhancing traditional transit services. Basic green-extension TSP was implemented on U.S. Route 1 in the Northern Virginia Area (or Washington, DC metropolitan area). This study quantifies the impact of TSP technology on transit-vehicle performance using field-collected Global Positioning System (GPS) data and evaluates the system-wide benefits of TSP operations using computer simulations to expand on the field evaluation study. The field study demonstrated that overall travel-time improvements in the order of 3% to 6% were observed for TSP-operated buses. However, the results also demonstrated that green-extension TSP can increase transit-vehicle travel times by approximately 2.5% during congested morning peak periods. In addition, the study demonstrated that TSP strategies reduce transit-vehicle intersection delay by as much as 23%. The field study demonstrated that the benefits associated with TSP were highly dependent on the roadway level of congestion and were maximized under moderate to low levels of congestion. However, the simulation results indicated that TSP did not result in statistically significant changes in auto or system-wide travel times (differences less than 1%). Furthermore, a paired t-test concluded that basic green-extension TSP did not increase side-street queue lengths. An increase in the traffic demand along Route 1 resulted in increased system-wide detriments; however, these detriments were minimal (less than 1.37%). The study demonstrated that an increase in side-street demand did not result in any statistically significant system-wide detriments. Increasing the frequency of transit vehicles resulted in additional benefits to transit vehicles (savings in transit vehicle travel times by up to 3.42%), but no system-wide benefits were observed. Finally, TSP operations at near-side bus stops (within the detection zone) resulted in increased delays in the range of 2.85%, while TSP operations at mid-block and far-side bus stops resulted in network-wide savings in delay in the range of 1.62%. Consequently, we recommend not implementing TSP in the vicinity of near-side stops that are located within the TSP detection zone. The simulation results indicated that a TSP system generally benefits transit vehicles, but does not guarantee system-wide benefits. In this study, a maximum transit vehicle travel-time savings of 3% to 6% was observed with the provision of green-extension TSP from both the field and simulation evaluation studies. However, the green-extension TSP operation did not benefit nor damage the non-transit vehicles in most cases. Also, it should be noted that the results of the study may be specific to Route 1 corridor because of the unique characteristics of the study corridor, the specific traffic demand, and TSP logic implemented. Finally, the study recommends the calibration of current TSP settings to improve the effectiveness of TSP operation. Also, different transit priority strategies or a combination of other TSP strategies should be investigated to increase the benefits of TSP operations. A conditional TSP system that only provides priority to transit vehicles behind schedule and an intelligent transit monitoring system are also recommended to improve the TSP system on the Route 1 corridor.

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.
