1. Identifying Split Failures Due to Over Saturation (Demand> Capacity) Ed Smaglik, Darcy Bullock, Jim Sturdevant & Tom Urbanik

2. Prevailing View A signal phase does not have periods of over saturation if an agency never sees or hears about problems. We need tools to tabulate performance metrics related to over saturation 24-7!

3. Outline What is saturation? How do we quantify it? Yauch v/c ratio How can we measure it? Fuhr’s. collect data for better information.. How should we look at it? What can we do?

5. Saturated or Undersaturated

6. Under saturated split with slack Split reduction to improve efficiency

7. Saturated split with no slack Unmet demand at termination

8. Cycle Based Binning of q g

10. v/c ratio Need served volume available in real time Ex.. 30s green on 60s cycle Sat flow is 1800 vphpl Observed flow on green/amber is 16 v/c= 1.06 … no slack green there Served vs. Demand Issue

15. Can we infer Split Failures by estimating served volume to capacity ratios?

17. Comments Before we can manage during over saturation, we need to: Figure out what we are going to measure Determine how we can pull some meaningful information out of data Short term goal: develop tools to enable small, strategic human-in- the-loop to adjustments…without extensive field visits.
