摘要: |
The objective of this research project was to develop and evaluate an advance warning end-of-green system (AWEGS) on signalized high-speed, high-volume roadways in order to reduced red-light-running. Five products were required for this project: (1) construction and installation of two Level 1 warning systems at two locations; (2) construction and installation of two Level 2 warning systems at the same two locations; (3) a design and installation guidelines manual; (4) information concerning traffic signal operations (phasing and operation); and (5) a signal technician installation manual. The Level 1 and Level 2 warning systems were successfully deployed at locations in the Waco and Bryan Districts. The guidelines and manuals have been included in the corresponding research reports, which have been published and are available for distribution to TxDOT signal engineers and technicians. In addition, the findings from this project will be used in a follow-on research project, 0-5113, which will examine improving intersection safety and operations using AWEGS. |
