per,od, accord ng to the following methodology.
~tudy Methodoloqy
An intersection is def ned as a junction of streets controlled by a traffic signal which is
part of the project being proposed.
Trav. el .ti.m? ru. ns will be perform.e.d in all lega d rections on each street in the project. A
run ,s ee~,neo as a trip from the first network or arterial signal to the last network or
~orteria[ signal ~n one d,rect,on. For grid networks, two runs in each dirertinn will h~ dnn~
r each network st.reet that passes through two ~r more net'w-o-r~(' 's-g ~'al'~'.~F%r'~t~r~a-I--~

the first s~gnal w!l be rec.orded (or the stop-watch w II be started) anc~ the time of
c earing the last intersect on w, be recorded (or the stop-watch will be stopped).
The driver of the study vehicle should attempt to a,oroach the first ~innal in n nrld
sys. te.m.once, at.the .beginning and. once duri~g the'm' iddle of the"~;~' ~'~;a=r~J'~ for an
arterial at thel~egmn ag, one-th, rd point, and two-thirds point of the green phase. The
dr ver shou d then attempt to dave the length of the street at the posted speed limit.
t~h:nelay will be .caused when other vehicles or traffic control der ce~ mnpcl, th~, nrnnr,¢~ n~

ur~ry, the or,vet snou,o stay In the most typ cally used through lane (such as the
center or median lane).
Acc.ompanying the travel time .run .w. ill be a descript!on of the street geometry for each
section o,f. the street. A section i.s define.d, as the portion of the street extending fro. m
the stop hne of one contr.olled Intersection to the stop line of the next controlled nter-
section downstream. Section length, n.umber of I.anes, and posted speed limit should be
recorded. If theposte.d speed changes m the section, a weighted average shou d be
calculated basedon d~stance.
For example, a section of street is 800 feet long, and is posted for 30 mph in the direction
under consideration for S00 feet and 40 mph for 300 feet. The average posted speed
would be
(30 mph x 500 feet) + (40 mph x 300 feet)
800 feet = 33.75 mph
Number of lanes is measured at the stop line at the beginning of the section, not
including turn bays.
For each street, average daily traffic counts should be provided. Data up to five years old
is acceptable as long as significant changes in traffic patterns have not occurred.
Free flow travel time should be calculated assuming no stops and traffic flow at the
average posted speed limit. The free flow travel time for each section is the section
length divided by the speed in feet/sec. Speed in mph is converted to feet/sec by
multiplying by 1.47. The total free flow travel time ~s the total of the section free flow
travel times. The delay is the di .ff. erence between free flow travel time and actua! travel
time, aver. aged from the travel time runs. For example, a street c.o. ntains tw.o sections.
Section 1 Is 800 feet and has a 35 mph average pos.t, ed. speed limit, and Sect~o.n 2 is 1200
feet long and has a 40 mph average posted speed limit. The free flow travel time would
be
800 feet 1200 feet
35 ~.47 + 40 m p~h'-~ 1.47 -- 36 seconds
The Quality of Service Summary form has been provided to allow the convenient orga-
nization of this data. One form should be filled out for each combination of street and
direction. Applicants should duplicate the form as necessary.
Summary
The procedure outlined here will provide a rough synopsis of the existing typical worst
case situation using data that can be collected very quickly. For arterial syste.rns, o.nly data
along the arterial is necessary..The runs have been defined to eliminate the inclusion of
boundary conditions (such as s~de street delay on an arterial) which, though they may
inhibit a complete understanding of the situation, will allow arterial and grid networks
to be compared in a similar light.

6. General Information (continued)
h. The City has initiated a program of upgrading their master controllers to Transyt model
3800 EL. To obtain full utilization of the capabilities of this master controller, four of
the existing five local controllers and cabinets in this proposed system should be replaced.
Additional equipment needs to hardwire this proposed system into the appropriate master
include 2930' of overhead interconnect cable, 2780' of underground interconnect cable,
and 2230' of 2" conduit.
The City's past signal related improvement programs have utilized Transyt model
controllers and associated equipment and it is their intention to continue such in order to
simplify maintenance operations, employee learning curves, and equipment purchasing
and stockpiling.

St u_Lu_~Ld M e t h o d o IoJg_qy
An intersect'on is daf ned as a junction of streets controlled by a traffic signal which is
part of the Project being proposed·
Tray. el time runs will be performed in all leeal direction~ nn ,nth ~t,=os
a~g Hal in one olrectlon. For gna networks, two runs in each .direction will be. done
for each network street that.pasSes thr.o, ugh two or more network signals For arter a
?¥ste, ms, t. hree runs in each d~rection will be done. The time nf rrn¢¢inn
_,?/~[r_st Sj,g n,al will.be rec..orded !,o.t the stop-watch.will be started) an~the t me of
~-~earmg Ina ~ast intersection wul oe recorded (or the stop-watch will be stopped).
Th.e driver of the~ st.udy.veh, icle sba. uld attempt to approach the first signal in a grid
sys. te.m,on~e, at.the ~egmnlng anc~ once during the middle of the mr.an
a~uu~u the. a~emp[ [o er ve the lengm o,t. the street at .the posted speed limit.
Delay Will be .caused when o,ther vehicles or traffic control devices impede the progress of
the study vehicle: and the dr var s. hould not take extraordinary measures to avoid delay.
Gene rally, the.dnver should stay m the most typically used through lane (such as the
center Or median lane).
Accompanying the travel time .run ,w. ill be a description of the street geome.try for each
section o~ the street. A section ts deflnecl' as the portion of the street extending fro. m
the..stop,hne o.f one co, ntr,.olle.d inte, rsectlon to the stop line of the next controlled inter-
section aown. stream, ~ectlon length, number of I.anes, and. posted speed limit should be
recorded. If theposte.d speed changes in the sect on, a we ghted average shou d be
calculated basedon distance.
For.exampl.e: a sectio,n of street is 800 feet long and is posted for 30 mph in the direction
unaer conslaerat on for S00 feet and 40 mph for 300 feet. The average posted speed
would be
(30 mph x 500 feet) + (40 mph x 300 feet)
800 feet = 3:1.75 mph
Number of lanes is measured at the stop line at the beginning of the section, not
including turn bays.
For each street, average daily traffic counts should be provided. Data up to five years old
is acceptable as long as significant changes in traffic patterns have not occurred.
Free flow travel time sh.ou, ld be calculated assuming no stops and t. raffic flow at.the
average posted speed hmlt. The free flow travel time for each section s the section
lengt, h d!vided by the speed in feet/sec. Speed !n mph is converted to feet/sec by
multiplying by i.47. Th.e total free flow travel t~me ts the total of the section free flow
t.ravel times. The delay ts the difference between free flow travel time and actual travel
t~me, aver. aged from the travel time runs. For example, a street contains two sections.
Section 1 IS 800 feet and has a 35 mph average pos.t, ecl. speed limit, and Section 2 is 1200
feet long and has a 40 mph average posted speed Emit. The free flow travel time would
be
800 feet 1200 feet
35 ~.47 + 40 m-~ x 1.47 = 36 seconds
The Quality of. Service Summary form has been provided to allow the convenient orga-
nization of thts data. One form should be filled out for each combination of street and
direction. Applicants should duplicate the form as necessary.
Summary
The proced, ure o.utlined here will provide a rough synopsis of the existing typical worst
case situation U. Sln.g data that can be col ected very qu ckly. For arterial systems, only data
along the artery, a! ts necessary..The runs have been defined to eliminate the inclusion of
.boundary conditiOns (such as s!de street delay on an arterial), which, though they may
Inhibit a complete unde.r, sta,n, dlng of the situation, will allow arterial and grid networks
to be compared in a simdar hght.
