Abstract: The efficient use of semi‐actuated control requires careful selection of phasing plan, timing design, and detector configuration. Computer simulation can be used to assist in the search for efficient ways of operating such ...

Abstract: Adaptive signal control based on a binary‐choice decision process for timing adjustment has the potential to replace traffic‐actuated control. This emerging control strategy divides time into small intervals. In each ...

Abstract: Capacity analysis is an essential task in the planning and design of signalized intersections. This task becomes difficult to perform satisfactorily when shared permissive left‐turn lanes are present. A shared permissive ...

Abstract: Current practices in resurfacing, restoration, and rehabilitation of highways generally emphasize lane‐ and shoulder‐width improvements. These practices neglect the possibility that flattening curves by reducing curvature ...

Abstract: Simulation analysis of alternative signal control strategies requires a realistic queue dissipation model. Past efforts in modeling queue dissipation focus on queue discharge headways and neglect other aspects of queue ...

Abstract: The effectiveness of conventional traffic‐actuated control deteriorates rapidly as traffic volume increases. This problem can be alleviated through adaptive control. By monitoring vehicular movements and identifying the ...

Abstract: Toll collection on freeway main lines can have serious repercussions on freeway operation and management. There are currently no suitable methodologies for level‐of‐service analysis of main‐line toll plazas. To bridge this ...

Abstract: The capacity of exclusive left‐turn lanes and the passenger car equivalent of left‐turn vehicles are two parameters commonly used for the planning, design, and operation of signalized intersections. Existing methods for ...

Abstract: For level-of-service analysis, the 1994
