Volume-Occupancy-Based Actuated Signal Control System: Design and Implementation to Diamond Interchanges in Houston

This paper presents a new volume-occupancy-based actuated signal control system for a diamond interchange, where a two-way arterial street intersects two one-way streets on each side of a freeway, aiming to approximately capture vehicle platoons and thus to improve the traffic by adaptively adjusting the plan. As a sponsored project aiming at immediate implementation, this system had to be designed based on conventional loop detectors and …
