HOW THIS APPROACH WORKS
What is the new traffic data and how does it work?
![Page 8: Traffic Signal Performance Measures - Transportation](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042421/626173a79ac59e23b3412b0d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Using Traffic Signal DataConsider this “mini-corridor” for the Diamond at I-20/59 @ McFarland
Intersection 1
WB Ramp
Intersection 2
EB Ramp

Example: Internal ProgressionNot just for the left-turns, but how is traffic progressing through the interchange
Intersection 1
WB Ramp
Intersection 2
EB Ramp
For this SB thru
movement, we can use
a Purdue Coordination
Diagram to monitor

By moving the ring displacement 20 seconds
forward, the lagging WBL from the north ramp
movement arrives at the south intersection on OL-D
red while the EBL at the south ramp is served…
Not Good!

What do we need for this?Implementation of Data-Driven Performance Measures
• Detection
– Advanced, by-lane detection with crisp arrival information
– Need to capture each vehicle
• Communication
– Fiber is great, especially if existing
– Cellular is fine too. Also, radio can fill in the gaps
• Data-Logging Traffic Controllers
– Most modern controllers feature built-in data logging
– Siemens M54 & M60, Econolite ASC/3 & Cobalt, Peek
