Abstract:

This research sought to address a condition where adjacent intersections are unable to service demand in part because an active rail line between the intersections disrupts traffic with frequent preemptions. The project used George Bush Dr, an arterial roadway along the south edge of the Texas A&M University campus in College Station, Texas, as a testbed for this research. Olsen Blvd and Wellborn Rd are main roadways around Texas A&M University that intersect George Bush Dr within a 1,000-foot stretch. This area suffers from traffic congestion and queue spillback during the PM peak period when classes are over and students and staff are going to their homes from the university campus. In addition, the rail that runs parallel to Wellborn Rd has between 20 and 30 trains traveling on this segment per day, which will lead to 1 or 2 trains disrupting traffic at this portion of the network during the PM peak period.
