This paper describes a scalable approach to simulation of decentralized adaptive signal control systems, motivated by our interest to provide a basis for assessing the benefit of the Surtrac adaptive signal control system at a potential deployment site in advance of installation. The approach centers around a simulation controller interface called VISCO, which links the VISSIM microscopic traff...

Innovations in traffic signal systems have generated a great deal of interest in the provision of preferential traffic signal strategies and treatments for transit buses and other vehicles at signalized intersections in cities of all sizes. The primary objective of this paper is three fold: 1) to synthesize the literature of the lessons learned associated with planning and deploying transit sig...

Rail transit with its high passenger capacity and high efficiency has become one of the preferred alternatives to automobile travel. This is evident in the increasing patronage of rail travel especially in urban areas. As a result, many railway stations experience high levels of pedestrian congestion especially during the morning and afternoon peak periods. Traditional design and evaluation pro...

Unlike most existing studies on off-ramp traffic signal control, this paper focuses on the optimization problem of the signalized intersection connected to freeway on-ramps. Conflicts are often observed between the traffic heading to an onramp and the traffic continuing straight which leads to issues such as intersection overflow, increased delay, and concerns about safety. For studying this pr...

Traffic simulation packages like CORSIM and VISSIM are frequently used as tools for analyzing traffic, since they are an effective approach for quantifying the benefits and limitations of different alternatives. There may be those who are cautious or skeptical about the application of a complex program to make a critical design decision. This concern is often appropriate, as many models are unp...

Persimpangan jalan sebidang merupakan tempat pertemuan arus kendaraan dari berbagai arah, baik yang menuju dan meninggalkan persimpangan. Hal ini mengakibatkan terjadinya konflik antar pada saat bersamaan berada titik sama. Pada umumnya pengendara akan mengurangi kecepatan, hal tundaan. Evaluasi kinerja persimpangan perlu dilakukan, untuk mengetahui terkini. Langkah antisipasi dapat segera dila...
