| Abstract | There are two methods for evaluating performance of signalized intersections – a volume based measure using the Critical Movement Summation (CMS) method and a delay based method, such as using simulation software like Synchro or the Highway Capacity Manual. Each method provides different indicators of the intersections performance. In general the two methods are used separately, which does not provide consistency in measuring intersection performance. This research highlights the differences between accepted methods and examines if there is a way to make the outputs from CMS sheets and Synchro models more comparable and preferably, interchangeable. | en_US |
