Abstract:The report provide guideline on the implementation of eco-traffic signal system in the field. The results showed that corridor’s operating speed and the percent of the through traffic on the corridor to the total network traffic play a major role in determining the optimization objective function that produces the coordination plan with the least environmental impact. The study results showed that, when the percent of through traffic on the corridor exceeds 70% of the total network traffic, coordination plans optimized for excess fuel consumption appear to produce minimal effects on the environment. Guidelines on how to develop signal control parameter for isolated intersections to reduce stops and minimize the environmental impact of traffic operations along with the potential impact of advanced controller settings such as rest-on-red, rest-on-green, and delayed detection are presented and discussed.
