Abstract:Using a combination of simulation and field studies, the research team found that agencies can achieve slight improvements by adjusting their traffic signal timing plans during adverse weather conditions. Agencies can detect when adverse weather conditions are impacting traffic operations at intersections by integrating a pavement-condition-monitoring system at their traffic signal cabinets. Weather-responsive traffic signal timing plans should be implemented only at critical intersections or systems where traffic operations are severely impacted by weather events. These intersections typically are high-volume, high-speed intersections whose operations are severely impacted due to reduced speeds.
