    Problem 2: Reitz 
    Union Drive Intersection Improvement Strategies 
    
    Next, we will consider 
    an option to improve the phasing at this intersection by investigating its 
    operation with existing phasing to identify: 
    
        | 
       
      deficiencies 
      in capacity and delay by movement  |  
        | 
       
      phasing 
      modifications to alleviate these movement deficiencies  |  
     
    
    Finally, we can 
    investigate semi-actuated control for potential coordination with adjacent 
    signals and what effect it has on the overall operation in 
    sub-problem 2c 
    by looking at: 
    
        | 
       
      
      
      unit 
      extension and k-value versus 
      arrival type and progression factor  |  
        | 
       
      
      double 
      cycle option to compare overall delay and level of service  |  
     
    
    We will compare the 
    overall operation of the signalized intersection operating with and without 
    improved phasing and timing, as well as actuated versus semi-actuated 
    control to better recommend alternative solutions. 
    
    In Problem 2, we are 
    looking at strategies to improve the intersection, mostly as an isolated 
    signal with the addition of the traffic generated by the new parking 
    structure, but we are introducing the idea of semi-actuated control for 
    potential coordination with the adjacent intersections.
