NAU, in conjunction with Iowa State University, the University of Idaho, Mead & Hunt,
and Illumine Transportation are tasked with providing guidance on utilizing up-to-date effective
practices and research outcomes that have been successfully implemented after STMv2. At the
minimum, the research shall:
- Support an objectives-oriented, actively managed traffic signal timing process that starts
with goals, considers context, supports the implementation of strategies and tactics, and
addresses evaluation of signal timing design outcomes, - Address signal timing strategies for various intersection and roadway network users,
including nonmotorized users and transit vehicles, - Incorporate existing research and effective practices to expand the coverage of over-
saturated/congested conditions, and - Describe use cases for advanced/innovative controller features, such as peer-to-peer
communication, custom logic, etc.
