Arterial Traffic Congestion Display Information on real-time traffic conditions on the regional freeway system is available to the public though the 5-1-1 phone system, AZ511.com website and via other channels. However, similar congestion information is not available for the arterial street system, which carries over 40 percent of all travel in Maricopa County. Unlike the freeway system, every arterial intersection serves as a decision point where a traveler may change the travel path or route choice. In addition, the delay at each intersection resulting from separating the conflicting traffic flows makes it more difficult to measure congestion level on arterials streets. This project will develop algorithms and strategies that will be implemented within City of Glendale’s Siemens I2 traffic management system, to measure the level of congestion on arterials street intersection. Since the project involves substantial system modifications and integration with the I2 traffic management system, an initial proof of concept project has been launched to investigate the feasibility of the project and develop a cost estimate and a schedule for full deployment. The City of Glendale has volunteered to participate in this pilot project which, when fully developed, will provide useful information to the public in the vicinity of the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.
