Multimodal Intelligent Traffic Signal Systems Engineering

Project Information

Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-11-0071
Project Abstract:

This project aims to conduct the foundational analysis and design necessary to prepare for the development and field testing/demonstration of multimodal intelligent traffic signal systems (MMITSS), which is defined as a comprehensive traffic signal system taking advantage of the connected vehicle environment for multiple transportation modes, including general passenger vehicles, transit, emergency vehicles, freight  vehicles, and pedestrians. The MMITSS incorporates, at a minimum, the following arterial traffic signal applications identified by the dynamic mobility application (DMA) program of the U.S. Department of Transportation: intelligent traffic signal system, transit signal priority, mobile accessible pedestrian signal system, emergency vehicle preemption, and freight signal priority.

Goals 

The goal of this project is to conduct the foundational analysis and design necessary to fully prepare for a field test/demonstration of an MMITSS.
