  1. Performance Measures Edward J. Smaglik September 18th, 2012

  2. Green Occupancy Ratio (GOR) and Arrival Type (AT) • Data requirements • Theory • Performance data • Signal Performance • Progression Performance

  3. Data Requirement • Event based data (0.1 second resolution) • Controller or other data collection device • Phase and detector status • GOR: Phase, stopbar presence • AT: Phase, advance count (presence can be used)

  4. Why event based data? • Aggregation removes fidelity • Aggregation typically based upon minutes • Does not align with cycles Average = 53.333%

  5. Green Occupancy Ratio where • Og = Occupancy of a green interval i • Ld = Length of detection zone • Lc = Length of vehicle • Vc = Velocity of vehicle • tg= time gap between vehicles • th = time headway between vehicles

  6. Green Occupancy Ratio • Measure of signal performance • Higher volume, less detector off time, higher metric value • Metric value dependent on vehicle speed and detection zone length • Lower speeds => Higher metric value • Shorter detection zone => Lower metric value

  7. Green Occupancy Ratio • Comparison to V/C, with different detection zone lengths

  8. Arrival Type • Measure of progression performance • Well known Highway Capacity Manual concept • Value has impact on delay calculation • Value can be developed • Qualitatively • Quantitatively

  9. Arrival Type - Qualitative Exhibit 10-18, HCM 2000

  10. Arrival Type - Quantitative Rp = Platoon Ratio P = Percent of Vehicle Arriving on Green C = Cycle Length G = Length of green interval

  11. Arrival Type Sample Data 100 45 53 69 83 10 44 15 36 27

  12. Arrival Type Sample Data

  13. City of Mesa test intersection • E. Southern Rd & S. Power Ave located on the east side of Mesa • Geography • Adjacent to Shopping Mall and Retirement Community • ½ mi north of US 60 • Wide Streets • Adaptive control system location

  14. Generic Data Collection Diagram Data Collection Device

  15. What do I need? • Event based data logger • Adaptive system • Available on certain: • Traffic controllers • Video detection devices • Standalone device • Access to detector and phase state changes on 0.1s resolution
