Signalized Intersection Delay Studies
Signalized Intersection Delay studies are one of two types of delay studies
done with the TDC Ultra. Since both are commonly called stop delay studies,
we have adapted a naming convention to distinguish between the two types.
Signalized Intersection Delay Studies are used at signalized intersections
and use a statistical method to measure delay. Stop Sign Delay studies are
done at stop sign controlled intersections and measure the delay of each
vehicle directly. This chapter deals with Intersection Delay Studies. Chapter
8 explains Stop Sign Delay studies.
The method used by the TDC Ultra for this study follows the standard method
used by traffic engineers for years to do Intersection Delay Studies. This
manual assumes that you understand, at least generally, how a delay study
is performed. If you don’t then you should refer to a text book on Traffic
Engineering. A good source is the “Manual for Traffic Engineering Studies”
published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers.
