Common use of Problem Statement Clause in Contracts

Problem Statement. In the past two decades, TSP systems have been deployed in many cities worldwide. However, enthusiasm for TSP in North America has been tempered with concerns that overall traffic performance may be unduly compromised when signal timing plans intended to optimize traffic flow are overridden to provide a travel advantage to transit vehicles (▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 2003). Several recent studies (see, for example, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 2002, and ▇▇▇▇ et al. 2002) have quantitatively evaluated the effects of TSP. While these studies have generally agreed on the benefits for transit operations, the overall impacts of TSP on local traffic networks remain unclear. Also, because the performance of a signal control strategy is closely related to traffic conditions, surrounding land use, traffic regulations, and roadway network geometry, the One involved four intersections on SW 164th Street in south Snohomish County. Phase Two covered 13 intersections on SR 99 in the City of Lynnwood. This report summarizes both the Phase One and Phase Two evaluations.
