ABOUT THE WEBINAR:
The Multi Modal Intelligent Traffic Signal System (MMITSS) was designed to utilize emerging v2x data for intelligent traffic control, priority for emergency vehicles, transit, and trucks, and a pedestrian smart phone application. MMITSS is based on a mixed integer-linear programming model that captures the ring-barrier structure of commercial traffic signal controllers that are commonly used in North America and the principle that strategic controller behaviors, including coordination and priority for special classes of vehicles, can be served using a priority policy that allows operating agencies to establish a hierarchical preference structure depending on the transportation system needs. MMITSS is the product of a Connected Vehicle Pooled Fund project and is not being deployed in Anthem, AZ, Madison, WI, Tucson, AZ, Portland, OR, and several locations in Maricopa County, AZ.
