Roadway Signal Priority |
This equipment package includes the field elements that receive signal priority requests from transit vehicles approaching a signalized intersection. The request for priority may or may not be granted, based on the overall traffic situation at the intersection, adherence to the schedule of the transit vehicle, etc. If priority is granted, the operation of the traffic signal is adjusted to give an early green indication or hold a green indication that is already displaying |

TMC Signal Control |
This equipment package provides the capability for traffic managers to monitor and manage the traffic flow at signalized intersections. This capability includes analyzing and reducing the collected data from traffic surveillance equipment and developing and implementing control plans for signalized intersections. Control plans may be developed and implemented that coordinate signals at many intersections under the domain of a single traffic management subsystem and are responsive to traffic conditions and adapt to support incidents, preemption and priority requests, pedestrian crossing calls, etc. |
