摘要: This project report summarizes research and implementation of signal system communications and improved signal control. As part of the project, a radio communications system was selected and installed at five signalized intersections along US 281 in Falfurrias, Texas. Closed loop system software was then installed to coordinate the previously isolated, actuated intersections. The end result was improved traffic control, improved traffic flow, and remote system monitoring for those responsible for signal maintenance. A second astpect of the project focused on developing real-time control functionality that would make use of the communications system. the Texas Department of Transportation's Dynamic Arterial Responsive Traffic System (DARTS) Specification provided a public domain, real-time signal coordination algorithm that suited this purpose. Simulators were developed bhy the Texas Transportation Institute to determine the effectiveness of DARTS installed in Falfurrias.
