Abstract:

Red light running (RLR) problem has been recognized as a significant safety problem in California as well as throughout the United States. This paper follows a two step process to develop enhanced signal timing models for possible reduction of RLR. In the first step, field data are collected with one-second resolution and discrete choice models are estimated to determine significant influencing factors of RLR; in the second step, based on the findings from the first step, TRANSYT-7F software package as well as custom designed programs is used to find enhanced signal timing plans that can potentially reduce RLR. It is shown that it is possible to reduce RLR related factors while maintaining the commonly used signal control objectives, such as intersection delay. Future research direction is also discussed.
