| Project detail | ||
| Project Description: | The major objectives for year one of the proposed research included the development of the next-generation architecture and algorithms for self-adaptive traffic signal systems (which will be referred to as RHODESNG); their evaluation through properly designed statistical experiments; case studies, using calibrated and validated simulation models; and limited operational field testing. During year two, the research encompassed the development of VII-enabled enhancements of RHODESNG, its evaluation, and the completion of limited field testing. | |
| Goals: | Traffic flow and safety will improve with better adaptation of traffic signal timing to current conditions of traffic flow, environment, and infrastructure. |
