Signal Optimization Analysis
Signal Optimization Analysis is utilized as a Transportation System Management (TSM) tool to maximize roadway mobility, capacity, and efficiency with minimal, if any, capital improvements, such as roadway widening.
Fisher Associates has provided TSM/TDM solutions on various arterial signal coordination projects. Signal timings were developed for field implementation and before/after studies were employed to assess the resulting decreases in delay and increases in free flow speed and capacity. Additionally, the optimized networks provided benefits such as reduced stop delay, noxious emissions, and fuel consumption. The improvements, due to signal coordination and optimization, help secure project funding through the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program.
