Engineering Options
What type of system is it?Which movements will be progressed?What is the objective?What happens if you can not achieve the
objective?

Factors Lessening Benefits

Time Space Diagrams and Ideal Offsets

One-Way Progression
For one-way progression, what do you need to know to estimate ideal offsets?
How do you construct a time-space diagram?
Can specify offsets relative to one (master) intersection

How do you determine the offset with queuing?

Different Types of Progression
What are the different types of progression?– Simple– Forward– Flexible– Reverse– Simultaneous
![Page 14: Lecture #11 Signal Coordination: Chapter 22. Objectives Factors affecting coordination Basic theory of signal coordination Application to arterial progression](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032202/56649d795503460f94a5be1c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Two-Way ProgressionTwo-Way Progression
Progression in one direction suffersSegment offsets tSB+tNB = nC
Maximizing bandwidth– Popular– Limited

Two-Way Progression (Cont.)Two-Way Progression (Cont.)
Simultaneous progression– Closely spaced intersections– Queue management
Alternate progression– Uniform block length– 50:50 split
N the number of blocks with simultaneous green How do you determine N?

A Signal Coordination StudyA Signal Coordination Study
Go to the field and ride through the system– Do you see unused green time at down stream
signals?– Do you arrive at signals with standing queues?– Do you arrive on red?– Is the flow in the other direction significant?
Sketch out network with flow patterns Which cycle length is most appropriate?

Oversaturated ConditionsOversaturated Conditions
Removal of intersection blockage– Address root causes– Update signalization– Use novel signalization to reduce extent of congestion– Provide more space– Prohibitions vs enforcement vs resulting problems– Consider other options

Signal based remedies– Metering plans– Shorter cycle lengths – Equity offsets – Imbalanced split
