摘要: |
This study analyzed the impact emergency vehicle traffic signal preemption had on the travel time and delay of traffic on a signalized corridor in Northern Virginia. The corridor was composed of three coordinated intersections on Route 7 (Leesburg Pike near Landsdowne). The motivation for this work was the construction of a new hospital which opened near the study area. Emergency response personnel expressed an interest in deploying a preemption system that would aid ambulances in quickly and safely reaching the hospital. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) was interested in quantifying the effects that the proposed signal preemption would have on Route 7 traffic, particularly during the morning rush hour, when inbound traffic, towards Washington, D.C., is quite heavy. |
