Abstract:

The objective of this project was to develop guidelines for mitigating congestion in traffic signal systems. As ; part of the project, researchers conducted a thorough review of literature and developed preliminary ; guidelines for combating congestion. Then, the researchers conducted a survey of selected practitioners in ; Texas to get feedback on their concerns about congestion and opinions about a list of strategies developed ; after literature review. Researchers also conducted simulation studies to analyze the impact of bay length, ; traffic distribution, and phasing sequence selection on the throughput capacity of left-turn bay and adjacent ; through lane under loaded traffic conditions. Researchers also conducted field and simulation studies to show ; the applications of preliminary guidelines. Finally, they modified guidelines to account for lessons learned ; through field studies.
