Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) with an Intersection Collision Model (101-FH3) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II
Project Information
Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-11-0043
Project Abstract:
This project is an index of Traffic EXperimental Analytical Simulation (TEXAS) documentation, documented global variables and subroutines in Simulated Processing (SIMPRO), and added newly developed subroutines into the TEXAS documentation database. Included is the Enhanced Traffic EXperimental Analytical Simulation (eTEXAS), a Java application programming interface for the TEXAS model.
We have set up SIMPRO for compilation using free and open source software and modified the TEXAS source code to accomplish the central step of reorganizing TEXAS as a simulation library for programmatic invocation by the Connected Vehicle program or other applications.
We have also implemented Java interfaces to the simulation for portability for the SAE International (SAE) J2735 messages, variable message signs (VMS) messages, signal controller messaging system (SCMS) messages, and obtaining vehicle updates. In addition, we have developed a graphical user interface for Delta Time (DT) simulation and a simplified Java version of Bonneson's dilemma zone control systems (D-CS) algorithm for validation of eTEXAS. Part of the project is a project website to host the free and open source eTEXAS project, which includes source code, documentation materials, and developer community facilities.
Goals:
The key project objective is to determine whether signal phase and timing (SPAT) can be simulated with an intersection collision model and, if possible, whether this simulation can be converted into a tool useful for developing analyses of SPAT.
