ADvAnCeD sIGnAL sysTems<br />

As traffc patterns change throughout the day, the<br />

operation of a signal controller can be adjusted<br />

to match the needs at each intersection. This<br />

technology allows a local controller to match the<br />

time assigned to each signal phase with actual traffc<br />

conditions. It also provides information about how<br />

the system can be optimized to manage traffc under<br />

special circumstances, such as concerts or sporting<br />

events, and when to perform system maintenance.<br />

InTerseCTIon ImprovemenTs<br />

Improvements to congested intersections can<br />

significantly affect traffc flow on commuter<br />

corridors. When coordinated with signal timing,<br />

the introduction of left and right turn bays at<br />

intersections can decrease the potential volume of<br />

congested intersections. Each intersection should<br />

be analyzed individually to identify its unique<br />

challenges.<br />
