Abstract

This research evaluates the effectiveness of the future Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) adaptive signal control system on the arterial street network in Park City, Utah, that experiences both everyday and unpredictable changes in traffic flow. This report contains the planned methodology for the project and the results from the "before" evaluation of the system. The results in this report represent measures of effectiveness from the traffic data collection before the ATCS is installed.
