Traffic Signal Systems 2010

TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2192 contains 18 papers that explore simulation-based optimization of the maximum green setting, wireless magnetometer vehicle detectors at signalized intersections, management of signalized arterial capacity, arterial signal coordination, crosstalk detection in loop detectors at signalized intersections, railroad-preempted intersections, and providing automated performance measures at signalized intersections with existing video detection equipment.

This issue of the TRR also examines signal priority near a major bus terminal, traffic signal transition in coordinated meshed networks, equitable traffic signal timing plans, decision tree model to prioritize signalized intersections near highway-railroad crossings, advance-detection designs for high-speed intersection approaches, uncertainty and predictability of urban link travel time, cross-evaluation of optimized signal timing, robust signal timing for arterials under day-to-day demand variations, adaptive signal control, analytical models for protected/permitted left-turn capacity at signalized intersections with heavy traffic, and arterial performance measures with media access control readers.
