Abstract

This project presents a signal controller algorithm to capitalize on the extended information provided by wide-area detection at isolated intersections. Using computer simulation, different control strategies are evaluated and the performance of the proposed wide-area detection system with conventional signal controllers is compared. The results indicate that wide-area vehicle actuated (VA) control can yield significant improvements over conventional VA control strategies.
