Method Considering Traffic Stream Variability over Time when Determining Multiprogram Control Modes at Signaled Intersections

This paper demonstrates the relevance of application of multiprogram control at signaled intersections and a method considering variability of traffic streams over time for the purpose of increasing traffic efficiency.Recommendations are suggested as to considering daily and hourly traffic stream variability when determining the parameters of multiprogram control modes at signaled intersections. The analysis of effectiveness of applying the suggested recommendations has been carried out.Application of the recommendations as to considering daily and hourly traffic stream variability allows reducing intersection traffic delays up to 17-28% during a day.
