Sub-problem 2c: Analyzing the Effects of Coordination
Step 1. Setup
The previous analyses assumed fully actuated signal control. With adjacent signalized intersections located close by, coordination amongst the signals would be desirable. This provides an opportunity to compare the differences of operating this signal as fully actuated with semi-actuated control. Under semi-actuated control, a constant cycle length can be maintained to facilitate coordination with the other signals along Museum Road. In an HCM analysis, the factors affected in this comparison are arrival type, progression factor, unit extension, and the k-value.
