Abstract:

This report documented the results of a comprehensive evaluation of Adaptive Traffic Control Systems (ATCSs). The primary goal of the study was to assess whether and how ATCSs might be applied in Las Vegas and other Nevada urbanized areas as a cost effective means of reducing traffic congestion and air pollution. Two major objectives associated with this goal were: (1) to provide a comprehensive evaluation on selected ATCSs for their operational efficiency; and (2) to develop guidelines for best implementing ATCSs in place of traditional closed-loop or centralized signal control systems. To achieve these objectives, ATCSs needed to be evaluated against actuated coordinated time-of-day (TOD) plans under a wide range of traffic flow conditions.
