Book Synopsis Preemption Strategy for Traffic Signals at Intersections Near Highway-railroad Grade Crossings by : Hanseon Cho
Download or read book Preemption Strategy for Traffic Signals at Intersections Near Highway-railroad Grade Crossings written by Hanseon Cho and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because the operational characteristics of signalized intersections near highway-railroad grade crossings (IHRGCs) are different from those of signalized intersections located elsewhere in the traffic system, standard operational strategies do not apply. This is because safe operation at IHRGCs takes precedence over all other objectives. Because the prime objective of the current preemption methods is to clear the crossing, secondary objectives such as safe pedestrian crossing time and minimized delay are given less consideration or ignored completely. Consequently, state-of-the-practice strategies may cause serious pedestrian safety and efficiency problems at IHRGCs. Therefore, there is a definite need for research on how to improve traffic signal preemption strategies. An important element of preemption strategy is detection of trains and prediction of arrival times. However, because of the limitations of current detection technologies, estimation algorithms, etc., there is a wide range in these warning times. In this dissertation, a new train-arrival prediction algorithm was developed using detection equipment located farther upstream from the HRGC. The state-of-the-art transition preemption strategy (TPS) was developed to ensure that as preemption is initiated by approaching trains, the signal display does not change in a manner that endangers either pedestrians or drivers. However, because it does not account for the variability of predicted train arrival times, there is still a possibility of failure. Therefore, a new transition preemption algorithm that is specifically designed to improve intersection performance while maintaining or improving the current level of safety is developed. This dissertation developed a preemption strategy (TPS3) that uses better train arrival time estimates to improve the safety and efficiency of IHRGCs. The approach was simulated on a test bed in College Station, Texas, and it was concluded that the new TPS improves the safety and operation of intersections near highway-railroad grade crossings.

Download or read book Development of Analytical Tools for Evaluating Operations of Light-Rail At-Grade Within an Urban Signal System written by Carol H. Walters and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1995-08 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of the operation and control strategies of light rail transit systems (LRTS). Intended to serve as a basis for further research in the goal of developing an analytical tool for evaluating the operations of light rail at-grade within an urban signal system. Identifies the various at-grade crossing types that can exist for a LRTS, the operating characteristics of light rail vehicles, and the use of control devices at at-grade crossings. Summarizes both the priority strategies used by transit agencies and the methods of evaluation used to assess the impacts of LRTS.

Book excerpt: This Action Plan presents a multi-faceted, multi-modal approach for improving safety at our nation's highway-rail crossings and for the prevention of trespassing on the rights-of-way of our nation's railroads. It is multi-faceted in that it presents enforcement, engineering, education, research, promotional and legislative initiatives addressing crossings of both light and conventional rail rights-of-way by public and private streets and highways. The objectives were to reduce the number of highway-rail crossing accidents and casualties while not impeding, but facilitating, the contribution potential of the highway and rail infrastructure on the nation's economy.
