Validation Study of Actuated Control and HCM Models in Brazil Wagner Bonetti Jr., Traffic Engineer, Municipal Development Company, Campinas, Brazil Hugo Pietrantonio, Prof.Dr., Polytechnic School, University of São Paulo, Brazil LEMT/EPUSP-Laboratory of Methodological Studies

Two Visions on Actuated Control Restricted view (practical guidelines) - MUTCD/1988: actuated control when signals are not justified based on flows (pedestrians, school, accident); even this view is avoided in MUTCD/2000 (nothing in place). Generic view (theoretical guidelines) - actuated control is always superior on performance; decision must be grounded on weighting benefit (performance, updating) against cost (detection, controllers, maintenance); it is a belief never proved.

Goals Analyze the real performance of actuated control on a heavy traffic intersection against pre-timed control. Analyze the validity of HCM-based performance model for predicting actuated control performance and comparing it to pre-timed control. Advance themes for the improvement of views and methods in the analysis of actuated control. Boost the development of adaptative control.

The study site: Approach wide detection (series) Simple Two Phase Control Critical group (both peaks)

1. Performance on the Field Data gathering and pre-timed control checking: - 11 plans on a weekday; transition plans; - retiming gave similar plans; kept as done. Setting and checking for actuated control: - Green Extension, Minimum/Maximum Greens; - 7 plans (no transition,equal priority); adjusted. Performance monitoring (delay measures): - changes from –26% to +78% on delays; - better where more variation; smaller peaks; - good conditions; small incidents; practicability.

2. Validity of HCM-based Model Average actuated timing prediction model: - over-prediction (smaller greens in the field); - extreme behavior (to maximum settings); - theoretical criticisms; smoother behavior. Average delay prediction model (real times): - absolute errors greater than relative errors; - good agreement in predictions of changes; - regular operation only (micro-regulation); - no incidental operation (macro-regulation).

Conclusions Better guidelines are needed: - actuated control is usable for heavy demand; - actuation isn’t always better (myopic control). Evaluation must add micro&macro regulation: - micro-regulation: random fluctuations in cycle; - macro-regulation: design cases (composition). HCM-based models need improvements: - extreme behavior (average timing prediction); - prediction of delay is better; relative at least. Main drawbacks Questions?
