Download or read book Traffic Signal Timing Manual written by U.s. Department of Transportation and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report serves as a comprehensive guide to traffic signal timing and documents the tasks completed in association with its development. The focus of this document is on traffic signal control principles, practices, and procedures. It describes the relationship between traffic signal timing and transportation policy and addresses maintenance and operations of traffic signals. It represents a synthesis of traffic signal timing concepts and their application and focuses on the use of detection, related timing parameters, and resulting effects to users at the intersection. It discusses advanced topics briefly to raise awareness related to their use and application. The purpose of the Signal Timing Manual is to provide direction and guidance to managers, supervisors, and practitioners based on sound practice to proactively and comprehensively improve signal timing. The outcome of properly training staff and proactively operating and maintaining traffic signals is signal timing that reduces congestion and fuel consumption ultimately improving our quality of life and the air we breathe. This manual provides an easy-to-use concise, practical and modular guide on signal timing. The elements of signal timing from policy and funding considerations to timing plan development, assessment, and maintenance are covered in the manual. The manual is the culmination of research into practices across North America and serves as a reference for a range of practitioners, from those involved in the day to day management, operation and maintenance of traffic signals to those that plan, design, operate and maintain these systems.

Book excerpt: This handbook, which was developed in recognition of the need for the compilation and dissemination of information on advanced traffic control systems, presents the basic principles for the planning, design, and implementation of such systems for urban streets and freeways. The presentation concept and organization of this handbook is developed from the viewpoint of systems engineering. Traffic control studies are described, and traffic control and surveillance concepts are reviewed. Hardware components are outlined, and computer concepts, and communication concepts are stated. Local and central controllers are described, as well as display, television and driver information systems. Available systems technology and candidate system definition, evaluation and implementation are also covered. The management of traffic control systems is discussed.

Download or read book Engineering and Technology Measures to Improve Large Truck Safety written by Michael D. Fontaine and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a request by Frank S. Wolf and Jo Ann Davis of the U.S. House of Representatives, Governor Mark Warner formed a Special Task Force on Truck Safety in the fall of 2002. The objective of the task force was to examine ways to reduce the number of crashes involving large trucks on Virginia's roads. One of the goals of this task force was to identify engineering and technology measures that have the potential to improve large truck safety. The task force charged the Virginia Transportation Research Council with identifying engineering and technology measures that offer the potential to improve large truck safety. A literature review of these areas was conducted, and a survey of personnel in the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) was also carried out (1) to determine what measures have been implemented in Virginia, and (2) to solicit ideas for additional improvements. Traffic control improvements, geometric design changes, and intelligent transportation systems that improve truck safety are summarized in this report, and survey respondents. Recommendations for potential initiatives in engineering, enforcement, and education are also presented. The research showed that VDOT has already taken many actions to improve large truck safety issues and that further action could be taken in several areas: 1. VDOT's Mobility Management Division (MMD) should consider encouraging the use of dynamic truck speed advisory systems on freeway ramps where there are large numbers of rollover crashes. 2. VDOT's Location & Design Division should examine whether current design standards are adequate for the current truck fleet. 3. The MMD should consider developing guidelines for providing advance warning of the start of the red phase at intersections with limited sight distance. 4. The MMD should reexamine whether the truck lane restrictions are producing safety improvements. In addition to these measures, VDOT should continue to pursue the initiatives that are already underway, for example, the rumble strip program and measures to improve traveler information.

Download or read book Evaluation of High speed Isolated Signalized Intersections in California written by Simon Washington and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-speed isolated signalized intersections (HSISI's) are generally encountered after long uninterrupted and uncongested flow conditions, thereby catching some motorists by surprise. For this reason alone, approaches to HSISI's need to have safe and effective warning, control, and intersection geometric treatments. This research identified characteristics at California HSISI's that relate to accident rates. A data base consisting of approximately 100 intersection and approach variables was established and used to investigate advance warning, signal timing and phasing, channelization, signal equipment configurations, shoulder widths and types, median widths and types, and approach speeds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algorithms, particularly those embedded in search engines, social media platforms, recommendation systems, and information databases, play an increasingly important role in selecting what information is most relevant to us, which is a crucial feature of our participation in public life. These algorithms are not just helpful in our daily lives but are also one of the unavoidable necessities of modern living. This book discusses advances and applications of various types of search algorithms, such as quantum search, harmony search, cognitive search, genetic search, and many others. It is a valuable resource and provides a solid technical base for frontline investigations of search algorithms for scientists and students interested in search and optimization methods.
