• Abstract:
  The main goal of adaptive signal control technologies (ASCT) is to minimize the travel time experienced by travelers and to reduce the number of stops through arterial corridors. This project conducted an independent assessment of an ASCT system in Mayport, FL, and compared operating conditions when the system was “Off” to when the system was “On” to determine its effectiveness. The mobility benefits of the ASCT implementation were assessed by comparing performance measures of time of the day (TOD) plans versus ASCT through field data collection. Two critical intersections were identified within the corridor, and performance measures such as corridor travel time, intersection delay, major and minor street queues, turning movement, etc. were collected. The changes in performance measures were used to report the effectiveness of ASCT.
