Simulation Test under Scenario Sample Clauses
Simulation Test under Scenario. 3 The 150-second-cycle signal timing plan was also evaluated, and simulation tests were conducted for Scenario 3. Tables 10-7 and 10-8 show simulation results for both transit and local vehicles. From these two tables, we can see that the TSP system functioned reasonably well under this control strategy. The transit delay time decreased from 452.2 seconds to 434.1 seconds for both the northbound and southbound directions along the corridor when the TSP system was on. The number of stops also decreased from 2.61 to 2.45, and a t-test verified that these improvements were significant at the p=0.05 level. Further studies were conducted to analyze local traffic operations based on Table 10-8. There were no significant negative impacts from the TSP system on local traffic.

Meanwhile, there were no significant negative impacts on local traffic resulting from the TSP system under this test scenario.
