Overview

This course provides a history and requirements for use in the design of signalized intersections. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for signal warrants, definitions of traffic signal control types, phasing and signal operating plans are covered. In addition, traffic signal pole layout, vehicle and pedestrian detention, signal timing parameters and signal coordination are be discussed.

Description

This course provides a history and requirements for use in the design of signalized intersections. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for signal warrants, definitions of traffic signal control types, phasing and signal operating plans are covered. In addition, traffic signal pole layout, vehicle and pedestrian detention, signal timing parameters and signal coordination are be discussed.


Course Outline

This course provides background regarding the use of signalization for traffic control. A brief history of the use of signals is provided. The advantages and disadvantages of using signalization as a means of traffic control are also included.
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) traffic signal warrants are listed to show that there is a system in place to determine if the installation of a signal is appropriate. Definitions of traffic signal control types are provided including pre-timed, semi-actuated and actuated. Examples of the various signal head types (vehicle displays, signal head auxiliaries and pedestrian displays) are also included with photographs.
There is a discussion of the different types of traffic signal phasing used to control the movements at an intersection. The signal operating plan (SOP) is also discussed in conjunction with these phases. The advantages of traffic signal pole layout (pedestal, span wire assembly and mast arm assembly) are outlined in a table.
Type of vehicle and pedestrian detection are discussed. The controller is also discussed as it is the “brain” of the intersection.
The basic signal timing parameters are defined. Equations are also provided to calculate the pedestrian and vehicle timings. Signal operating terms are also defined. Signal coordination and emergency vehicle preemption are discussed as they affect the traffic signal operation.

Learning Objectives

Objectives

  • Traffic signal warrants are used to determine whether the installation of a traffic signal is justified
  • Traffic signal control types are compared to determine which type best fits the intersection application
  • Types of traffic signal heads are evaluated to determine whether movement specific ( i.e., left turn arrow) heads are required
  • Traffic signal phasing is analyzed to provide the most efficient movement through the intersection
  • Signal operating plans are evaluated to determine which one best fits the intersection configuration
  • Types of detection are evaluated to determine which is best for the intersection (i.e., maintained by the local jurisdiction)
  • Traffic signal signing & pavement marking are applied to the intersection based upon the lane layout and traffic control pattern
  • Basic signal timing parameters are analyzed to provide the most efficient movement through the intersection.
