Installation of an actuated advance warning dilemma zone protection system at high-speed signalized intersections

Description: Installation of an actuated advance warning dilemma zone protection system at high-speed signalized intersections. The design algorithm continually monitors an upstream detector as well as traffic at the intersection in order to predict the onset of the yellow signal indication. Flashing beacons are then used to get the driver's attention and also to warn the driver of the impending end of the green indication.

Prior Condition:  Untreated signalized intersection

Category: Intersection traffic control
