Synchro

The group worked on aligning the intersection in Synchro as close to the actual roadway as possible. This was done by adding and image of the roadway to scale in the background and aligning the road. Then the intersections were optimized to have the signals working in a unified cycle. This will then be compared to the timed intersections before it was optimized.

Cross Sections

The team designed what the cross sections would look like for each intersection after the implementation of the road diet. Also, the cross sections were designed for the midpoints between the intersections. Then the stationing obtained from the plan and profile were added.

Poster

The team got together to work on the final poster for the project. The data that was crucial to the project was added since there was only a limited amount of space supplied. An overview of the problem was added, the motivation, and graphical information.

Probe Vehicle Test

A probe vehicle test was done on the stretch of road in the project scope in order to collect data in real-time. This was done using the device supplied by Dr. Brennan, which utilizes global positioning system to track the position of the vehicle and collect travel time data. Once the data is collected, it is already in an electronic format. This assists in the processing of raw travel time data into a useful format for analysis.

Digital Elevation Map

The team worked on AutoCAD 3D to obtain the contour map region of interest, this digital elevation map was retrieved from the Geocomm.com website. Then the road maps of New Jersey was added in order to better determine our specific stretch of road. This is all being done to gain a plan and profile view of the road and intersections.
