Abstract

Many agencies nationwide have adopted video vehicle detection technology as an alternative to inductive loops. While many product evaluations have been performed, the majority of these evaluations have concentrated on freeway applications where speed and volume were the primary evaluation [...]

Abstract

Video detection has become increasingly popular for presence detection at signalized intersections because of its versatility. However, several reports have documented performance problems in specific systems. This paper quantifies the performance of three different commercially available [...]

Abstract

On well-illuminated approaches, vehicle headlight reflections on the pavement were observed to cause video detection units to activate early. This early activation results in a dramatic increase in the length of the effective vehicle detection zone. This observed variation in the [...]

Abstract

Many transportation agencies use Synchro and SimTraffic software package to optimize signal coordination. In general, this software package effectively reduces the efforts of traffic systems engineers and improves the quality of the designed coordination. Nevertheless, the initial [...]

Abstract

This report discusses uses of and requirements for performance measures in traffic signal systems facilitated by high-resolution controller event data. Uses of external travel time measurements are also discussed. The discussion is led by a high-level synthesis of the systems engineering [...]

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to propose a more accurate method for the estimation of the left-turn adjustment factor for protected left turns at traffic signals. Research on the left-turn adjustment factor for two-lane approaches with protected left turns from a shared lane, gave [...]

Abstract

Novo Mesto is a small town in the Slovenian countryside which is undergoing a new project of road safety. New traffic signals are to be placed in bus stops to give drivers awareness of children standing waiting for the bus. Our mission is to use an eye tracker (the Dikablis device [...]
