Signal Phase and Timing with an Intersection Collision Model (101-FH3) Small Business Innovation Research Phase I

Project Information

Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-10-0016
Project Abstract:

Harmonia has developed 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. Harmonia has developed 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 Society of Automotive Engineers (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 (GUI) for delta time (DT) simulation and a simplified Java version of Bonneson's dilemma zone control systems (D-CS) algorithm for validation of eTEXAS. Harmonia has also created a project website to host the free and open source eTEXAS project, which includes source code, documentation materials, and developer community facilities.
