摘要: In this project, University of South Florida researchers investigated using advanced features of a widely used traffic signal system management software, ATMS.now (Trafficware, Sugar Land, TX), to resolve safety and mobility problems at highway-railroad crossings and adjacent roadways. Just as preemption precedes an anticipated traffic event (in this case, closing a railroad crossing), the researchers investigated coordinated plans preceding the preemptive phase, a period they termed pre-preemption (PPE). Intervention during PPE would be triggered when a train was detected entering a designated control section. Additional green time provided at intersections would help clear vehicles from crossings before a trains arrival. PPE plans require no new hardware or infrastructure; they use only existing traffic signal system management software.
