Traffic operations of basic traffic-actuated control systems at diamond interchanges
CJ Messer, MS Chang - Transportation research record, 1987 - safetylit.org
This paper contains the results of field studies conducted to evaluate four types of basic, full-
traffic-actuated signal control systems operated at three diamond interchanges. Two signal
phasing strategies were tested:(a) three-phase and (b) four-phase with two overlaps. Two
small-loop (point) detection patterns--single-and multipoint--were evaluated for each type of
phasing. An assessment of these systems was conducted based on the results of statistical
and observational evidence regarding their operational effects on queues and cycle lengths …
