Next Generation of Smart Traffic Signals

Project Information

Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-12-0019
Project Abstract:

The major objectives for year one of the proposed research included the development of the next-generation architecture and algorithms for self-adaptive traffic signal systems (which will be referred to as RHODESNG); their evaluation through properly designed statistical experiments; case studies, using calibrated and validated simulation models; and limited operational field testing. During year two, the research encompassed the development of VII-enabled enhancements of RHODESNG, its evaluation, and the completion of limited field testing.

Goals 

Traffic flow and safety will improve with better adaptation of traffic signal timing to current conditions of traffic flow, environment, and infrastructure.
