Detection-Control System for Rural Signalized Intersections

Project Description

This project achieved its objective of developing an economical detection-control system for isolated intersections. This system has shown to be able to significantly reduce red-light-running, improve safety, and eliminate unneeded delays. This system can also provide an extra degree of safety to truck traffic by extending the green to such vehicles whenever possible. The system has the ability to adapt to prevailing speeds and perform safely under all speed and volume conditions. With regard to cost, the system has fewer detectors in the pavement and is able to adapt to prevailing speeds. Both of these attributes translate into lower life-cycle costs than existing multiple advance detector systems. The concept detection-control system has been successfully deployed at two intersections in Texas.
