Impact of Signal Mounting Configurations on red-light running at urban Signalized Intersections
by Kerrie l. schAttler, ph.d., deborAh mcAvoy, ph.d., p.e., ptoe, mAtthew t. christ, msce, And collette m. glAuber introduction Navigating through signalized intersections is considered to be one of the most complex driving tasks. In 2007, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that 8,650 people were killed as a result of intersection-related crashes.1 A high propor...
متن کاملEstimating the Safety Benefits of Red Light Cameras at Signalized Intersections in Urban Areas Case Study: The City of Virginia Beach
The Highway Safety Manual [HSM, 2010] recommends safety evaluations be performed before implementing any roadway treatment to predict the expected safety consequences. Safety consequences can be measured using crash prediction models, Crash Modification Factor (CMFs), or both. This paper develops a CMF to show the expected impact of red-light cameras (RLCs) on safety at signalized intersections...
متن کاملUsing micro-simulation to investigate the safety impacts of transit design alternatives at signalized intersections.
This study investigates the use of crash prediction models and micro-simulation to develop an effective surrogate safety assessment measure at the intersection level. With the use of these tools, hypothetical scenarios can be developed and explored to evaluate the safety impacts of design alternatives in a controlled environment, in which factors not directly associated with the design alternat...
متن کاملSafety impacts of signal-warning flashers and speed control at high-speed signalized intersections.
For many years, to reduce the crash frequency and severity at high-speed signalized intersections, warning flashers have been used to alert drivers of potential traffic-signal changes. Recently, more aggressive countermeasures at such intersections include a speed-limit reduction in addition to warning flashers. While such speed-control strategies have the potential to further improve the crash...
متن کاملDevelopment of a red-light running violation index model for signalized intersections
The installation of Red-Light Cameras (RLCs) is often based on frequencies of Red Light Violations at signalized intersections. Since frequencies could be influenced by geometrical features of intersecting roadways and overall vehicular volumes (or exposure) there is doubt about their appropriateness in making decisions regarding the installation of RLCs. Inappropriate installation could result...
