Abstract:

A two-level screening process is described for evaluating short- to medium-term improvements for signalized intersections, and a procedure is developed for evaluating and ranking intersection operational deficiencies. A deficiency index (DI) is developed using a linear utility function. A detailed description is provided of the criteria evaluation and selection process used to screen 21 candidate criteria and to select the final formulation of the deficiency index. Also provided is a description of the analysis procedure used to determine the final weights applied to the factors in the DI operation. The use of the DI is demonstrated through the rating of operational deficiencies for all 286 signalized intersections in Tucson, Arizona. The DI is used to identify the 30 intersections most in need of operational improvements.
