Abstract
The more certainty with which the driver’s behavior at the onset of yellow indication can be estimated the more efficiently the signal change interval duration can be calculated without compromising on safety. Although, it is considered that several factors affect the signal change interval, the effects of arrival patterns caused by signal coordination are focused in this study. It is hypothesized that the vehicles generally require different signal change intervals with varying levels of coordination. This paper presents review of previous works which support the hypothesis and indicates conceptual framework, methodology, and summary of parameters which are necessary for the analysis.
