Monograph

This issue contains 9 papers concerned with traffic signal systems. Specific topics addressed include: design guidelines and conditions that warrant deployment of fully actuated coordination; high-resolution event-based data at diamond interchanges; graphical performance measures for practitioners to triage split failure trouble calls; improving intersection behavior through delay-based left-turn phase initiation; and a sorting model of optimization order in traffic signal planning. Additional topics discussed in this issue are as follows: the estimation of vehicles in the dilemma zone and application to fixed-time coordinated signal optimization; optimal intersection operation with median U-turn; decentralized control of urban traffic; and the use of event-based traffic data in generating time-space diagrams for evaluation of signal coordination.
