Abstract:
The purpose of this report is to present preliminary guidelines to help Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) personnel in determining 1) when to operate traffic signal systems in an isolated mode versus a coordinated mode, and 2) when to operate closed loop traffic signal systems in a time-of-day versus a traffic responsive mode. This document contains preliminary guidelines on the types and amounts of data to be collected, procedures to be used for calculating the necessary timing plan selection parameters and thresholds, and recommendations on which detectors to use for selecting appropriate timing plans in a traffic responsive mode.
