Signal Progression on Routes in Suburban-to-Rural Areas.

摘要

The primary objective of this study was to develop criteria for the introduction of signal progression on major state-controlled signalized arterials in suburban-to-rural areas. This was accomplished by developing,validating,and implementing a two-intersection computer simulation model. The parameters of mean delay per vehicle,mean traveltime,and mean queue length were selected as criteria to measure the effectiveness of different signal settings at a downstream location. By means of regression analysis techniques,the simulated data were utilized in the development of predictive and guideline models that are directly applicable in determining optimal signal settings.
