• 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.
