This 2008 site visitors sign Timing handbook (TSTM) is meant to be a finished advisor to the site visitors sign timing engineer and technician on site visitors sign regulate common sense rules, practices, and tactics. The TSTM represents a synthesis of site visitors sign timing innovations, analytical systems, and functions in response to North American perform right into a unmarried e-book. The guide additionally offers a framework for comparing site visitors sign timing functions regarding upkeep and operations.
This guide is meant to enrich coverage records akin to the guide on Uniform site visitors keep watch over units, and isn't meant to copy or substitute the street skill handbook, nationwide or neighborhood engineering records on sign timing, neither is it meant to function a customary or coverage rfile. quite, it offers a precis of practices meant to aid practitioners within the timing of site visitors signs.

Queued vehicles not making it through the intersection on a single green indication) Maintain progression on coordinated systems as best as possible to avoid unnecessary stops and delay Use appropriate cycle lengths (Shorter cycle lengths will typically result in less delay, but increased “lost time” (time lost in vehicle deceleration, driver reaction time, and vehicle acceleration), while longer cycle lengths may result in more delay, less “lost time”, and potentially more vehicle throughput depending on traffic demand) Ensure appropriate pedestrian signal timing to allow safe multimodal use of the roadway network.
User expectations for a street network are often the guiding principles for an agency’s policies. There are many types of users, including rail, pedestrian, bicyclists, transit, emergency vehicles, and automobiles; however, it is the prioritization of these users on a facility that should reflect an understanding of agency policy and, in turn, provide signal timing objectives. Traditionally, rail is given the highest priority due to its greater momentum and limited 2-3 braking characteristics relative to other modes of travel.
An additional challenge is the lack of infrastructure to communicate the information back to a location where it can be displayed. Despite these challenges, the development of signal timing policies that follow regional and local community transportation goals and objectives is a worthwhile undertaking. Development of signal timing policies should be a collaborative effort between regional partners and community stakeholders, crossing jurisdictional boundaries, with the service and safety of the customer in mind at all times.
