Highway capacity and quality of service, 2011. by National Research Council (U.S.).Transportation Research Board.(CARDINAL)141287;
Includes bibliographical references."TRB Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2257 consists of 14 papers that explore developing capacity models for local roundabouts, speed-flow curves for freeways in Highway Capacity Manual 2010, running time prediction for signalized urban streets, right-turn-on-red volume estimation and incremental capacity for shared lanes at signalized intersections, estimation of work zone capacity, and left-turn gap acceptance behavior of drivers. "This issue of the TRR also examines unconventional outside left-turn lane design on traffic operations at signalized intersections, queue discharge patterns at signalized intersections, pedestrian and bicycle level of service in the new multimodal paradigm, cycle-by-cycle queue length estimation for signalized intersections, development of managed-lane access guidelines, delay during heavy traffic for signalized intersections with short left-turn bays, capacity of multilane all-way stop-controlled intersections, and control delay calculation at diverging diamond interchanges."

Placement of detection loops on high speed approaches to traffic signals / by List, George F.(CARDINAL)311683; North Carolina.Department of Transportation.Research and Analysis Group.(CARDINAL)272064; North Carolina.Traffic Engineering & Safety Systems Branch.ITS and Signals Unit.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 96-100).Final report;This report contains the results of the NC Department of Transportation research project Placement of Detection Loops on High Speed Approaches to Traffic Signals (HWY 2007-13). The goal of this project was to determine the best places to locate detectors on the approaches to high-speed signalized intersections and the best signal control strategy to employ in conjunction with those sensor placement ideas to minimize dilemma zone occurrences.Performed by Department of Civil, Construction & Environmental Engineering, NC State University, sponsored by North Carolina Department of Transportation, ITS and Signals Unit / Traffic Signals Branch under project no.

Evaluation of roadway sites for queue management / by Miller, Holly J.; Demetsky, Michael J.(CARDINAL)313581; Virginia Transportation Research Council.(CARDINAL)195142;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 33-46).Final report.This study addresses the problem of queuing on highway facilities, wherein a large number of computerized methods for the analysis of different queuing situations are available. A three-tier classification system of the methodologies was used with the following categories: dedicated techniques, classical queuing theory, and simulation. A knowledge base for selecting an appropriate technique for a specific facility and problem is provided. The utilization of the video camera to capture queuing data in the field is described and applied to evaluate alternative methods to analyze queuing at signalized intersections. This evaluation revealed three distinct approaches from the respective categories for the evaluation of queuing at signalized intersections: the 1985 HeM method, the vacation-server queuing model, and TRAF-NETSIM. It was found that the queuing model and simulation methods offer flexibility over the more structured, dedicated 1985 HeM method and should be considered in the analysis of other situations as well as of signalized intersections.Sponsored by the Virginia Department of Transportation, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, under contract no.
