Abstract:A significant number of TxDOT’s signalized intersections operate under isolated control.
At many of these signals, it is not uncommon for an approaching platoon of vehicles to
face a red signal when it arrives at the stopbar. Often, these platoons are forced to stop
because of a single vehicle on one of the side-street approaches. This condition results in
driver aggravation, excessive stops, higher delay and fuel consumption, and excessive
pavement wear and tear.
The objective of enhanced platoon identification and accommodation (PIA) system
developed and field-tested by TTI in this research project is to remedy this situation
without unnecessarily taxing traffic on minor approaches. This document describes the
PIA system and presents guidelines for installing and operating this system.
