• Abstract:
  The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) operates thousands of traffic signals along state highways ; in the state of Texas. The operation of these signals is the responsibility of the TxDOT districts in which they ; are located. This local operation serves Texas motorists well, but it has also resulted in differences in ; practice across the state. TxDOT research project 0-5629 developed the Traffic Signal Operations Handbook ; to (1) provide a uniform basis for signal operation throughout the state and (2) identify cost-effective ; procedures for maintaining safe and efficient signal operation. ; This report documents the development and conduct of a two-year series of workshops to share information ; with TxDOT engineers and technicians regarding the cost-effective design and operation of signalized ; intersections. Information in the Handbook was used as the basis for the workshop. The workshop was one ; day in length and was offered at six venues in Texas. Workshop topics include basic signal controller timing, ; coordination timing, signal phasing, rail preemption, detection design, and diamond interchange timing. The ; workshop participants applied the Handbook guidelines in several examples using a spreadsheet program ; called the Texas Signal Coordination Optimizer (TSCO).
