Development, Testing And Implementation Of Traffic Signal Performance Measures At A Local Governmental Agency, Jay Alan Grossman

Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Technical Reports

The testing and implementation of traffic signal performance measures at a local government agency revolves around three main performance measures: signal detector anomaly identification, signal split failures reports and red light running identification. Signal detector anomaly identification used the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to compare current and past detector operation and was shown to be effective in identification of anomalies. Three different types of split failure reports were utilized to determine operational issues on signal systems. Long-term longitudinal, corridor scale, and single intersection split failure reports were implemented on active signal systems and found to be effective in determining and correcting problems. …
