Problem 3: Discussion

What is next to consider in this problem, after looking at the effects of varying traffic intensities presented by event traffic, is the signal timing settings that affect the green ratio for the intersection. Note that we have focused our analysis so far on pre-timed control, but most signalized intersections today feature detection that can respond to traffic based on signal timing settings. 

In problem 4, we will consider these settings and determine the effect they have on performance of the U.S. 95/Styner-Lauder Avenue intersection.
