The first deals with the assumption of completely uniform arrivals in the traffic stream, and the second adds a correction factor to account for the randomness that actually occurs. The analysis procedures developed under this project produced an improved estimate of the uniform delay by modeling the rules of operation of a traffic-actuated controller.

From page 2... ...
The traffic actuated timing estimation procedure described in this report provides a reasonable approximation of the operation of a traffic-actuated controller for nearly all of the conditions encountered In practice. The results obtained from this method have correlated well with extensive simulation data and with limited field studies.

From page 3... ...
The iterative nature of the analysis procedure does not lend itselfto manual implementation. It has therefore been developed as a standalone application that will be very useful in practice regardless of any decisions concerning its adoption as an official part of the HCM Chapter 9 procedure.
