Abstract

In this paper, the authors evaluate the impacts of a group-based traffic signal control policy on driver behavior and intersection safety in Japan. Also known as movement-based, this policy refers to a control patten in which the controller is able to separately allocate time to each signal group instead of allocating based on traffic demand. Using data collected at an intersection before and after such a policy was implemented, the authors draw conclusions regarding the potential safety benefits of implementing such a policy. In addition, the authors discuss conclusion regarding the influence of group-based control policy on the occurrence probability and rate of red light running (RLR) and yellow entry time at intersections.
