M-ISIG Goals
§Field-test/demonstrate a Multi-Modal Intelligent Traffic Signal System
§
§Use data via V2I wireless communications to maximize flows in real-time to improve traffic signal operations
§
§Utilize Transit Signal Priority, Freight Signal Priority and Emergency Vehicle Preemption strategies
§
§Support the accommodation of safe and efficient pedestrian movement of a more general nature.
1)Conduct foundational analysis and design necessary to prepare for the development and field testing/demonstration of a comprehensive traffic signal system for multiple transportation modes, including general passenger vehicles, transit, emergency vehicles, freight vehicles, and pedestrians
2)Develop new systems that use data via V2V and V2I wireless communications to maximize flows in real-time can significantly improve traffic signal operations
3)For example, utilize Transit Signal Priority to allow transit agencies to manage bus service better by adding the capability to grant buses priority based on a number of different factors.
