The technologies that were examined are computer-based Automatic Incident Detection... This study examines signal timing in inclement weather conditions. With the completion of the Utah DOT's Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS), UDOT will have the capability to change signal timing plans from a central location by communicating with each controller through fiber optic technology.... This project investigates alternate forms of dissemination for the accident information. Costs, capabilities, and compatibility are reviewed for integration of the accident database with a GIS format to allow a graphical and spatial interface. The issues being addressed by this research focus on information... This research document represents the analysis and recommendations of the University of Utah Traffic Laboratory (UTL) on the following Road Weather Information System (RWIS) topics: (1) public dissemination of RWIS station information and (2) the area of influence of available RWIS equipment. This study compares the performance of left-turn phasing to provide quantifiable benefits of one phasing over another. From the analysis, guidelines are developed for determining the type of left-turn phasing based on left-turn volume, opposing through volume and lane geometry.
