Executive Summary
An adaptive signal control technology (ASCT) system has the potential to improve transportation
system mobility, reliability, safety, and environmental impacts by accommodating changing traffic
demands at signalized intersections. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District
6 has deployed an adaptive signal control system between SW 67th Avenue and SW 142nd Avenue
along SW 8th Street in Miami-Dade County, as shown in Figure E - 1.
Figure E - 1: Study Area and Signalized Intersections with ASCT
The installed ASCT is the InSync Fusion adaptive traffic control system developed by Rhythm
Engineering. It is an intelligent transportation system that enables traffic signals to adapt to actual
traffic demand. At the site level, the InSync installation involved installing the InSync processor,
an industrial-grade micro controller that integrates with the traffic cabinets and controllers via
industry standard connections. It also involved installing video image detection (VID) cameras
for traffic detection.
The goal of this project was agreed on in a stakeholder workshop conducted as part of an effort to
develop an evaluation plan for the project, as follows: “The project goal is to improve the
efficiency of SW 8th Street, between SW 142nd Avenue and SW 67th Avenue, using sustainable
signal technology to minimize congestion and increase throughput where possible, without
compromising safety for all users.”

This document presents the evaluation of the system according to a previously developed
evaluation plan, developed by the evaluation team, as part of the project. Please note that although
the evaluation was done to determine the impact of the installed technology, FDOT District 6 has
been effectively involved in the day-to-day management and operations of the facility. Thus, the
benefits presented in this report reflected these activities also. The evaluation of the system was
done for the before and after period, and this report clearly shows the changes of performances
between the two periods. It is expected that the changes in performance are due to the deployed
system.

To facilitate the estimation of the system performance of the corridor, the main street was divided
into four segments, which are referred to as Segments I, II, III, and IV, respectively as shown in
Table E - 1. These segments correspond to the coordinated sub-systems as previously set by
Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation & Public Works (MDC DTPW) in the time of
day operations of the corridor. In addition to these four segments, the entire study corridor along
SW 8th Street is assessed and referred to as Segment ALL in this document. To estimate how the
Page 4
adaptive signal control system affects the cross streets, the performance measures for four cross
streets were assessed in the before-conditions. However, due to the construction activities and lack
of data for SW 107th Ave in the after conditions, the comparison results are only presented for the
three cross streets (SW 87th Ave, SW 97th Ave, and SW 137th Ave) in this report.
Data from multiple sources were collected and processed to determine the impacts of deployments
on various performance measures. Three sources of travel time estimates were utilized to assess
the mobility performance: Wi-Fi reader data and two third-party-based travel time data, which are
HERE and the National Performance Management Research Data Set (NPMRDS) data. All three
data sources show a decrease in travel time on the main street and cross streets after ASCT
operations compared to the before condition. For the main street on the whole segment, the
evaluation based on HERE data showed the highest improvement ranging from 7.3% to 20.2%,
depending on the direction of travel and the peak period with a median improvement of 12.5%.
The corresponding values based on the NPMRDS was a range of improvement between 1.7% and
7.9%, with a median of 5.85%. The evaluation based on the Wi-Fi data showed a range of
improvement between -3.4% and 8.3%, with a median value of 3.65%. The only negative impact
value obtained in the evaluation was the -3.4% for the eastbound direction in the AM peak. This
small change is acceptable considering the improvements in other movement performance and the
increase in throughput, as described below. In terms of total delay in veh-hr aggregated over the
whole day, the improvements were 4.3%, 24.2%, and 6.9% based on the Wi-Fi data, HERE, and
NPMRDS, with an average of 11.8% among the three data sources.
The analysis showed significant improvements in cross street delays in terms of veh-hr. When
considering both directions of the cross streets and aggregating overall periods of the day, the
analysis based on Wi-Fi data showed improvements of 20.6% and 9.8% for SW 87th Avenue and
SW 97th Avenue, respectively. The analysis based on HERE data showed improvements of 23.5%,
15.4%, and 17.2% for SW 87th Avenue, SW 97th Avenue, and SW 137th Avenue, respectively.
The Wi-Fi data for SW 137th Avenue had quality issues that prevented it from being used in the
analysis. Data from the NPMRDS are not available for the evaluated cross streets since they are
not on the National Highway System.

In general, the evaluation showed a reduction in the percentage of time in congestion on the
corridor. In particular, the analysis based on HERE data show a very high reduction in the
congestion percentage. As examples, the HERE data analysis results show that the percentage of
time in congestion for the WB during the PM peak decreased from 78.6% to 50.1% and the
percentage for the EB during the PM peak decreased from 24.4% to 4.73%. In addition, the
throughput analysis indicates that there is an increase in the throughput of the system by an average
of about 5% to 6%.
For safety analysis, this study utilized the Observational Before/After Evaluation using Safety
Performance Functions (the Empirical Bayes Method) recommended in the Highway Safety
Manual (HSM). This method showed a reduction in crash frequency on the main street by 9.73%.
For the cross streets, the estimated reductions in the crash frequency were 11.6%, 4.05%, and
9.74% for SW 87th Avenue, SW 97th Avenue, and SW 137th Avenue; respectively.
While reliability analysis results based on Wi-Fi data showed that there was no significant change
in the reliability of the main street, the 80th percentile Travel Time Rate (TTR), a measure of
reliability, improved between 4.8% and 20.1% based on HERE data and between 3.7% and 9.4%
based on NPMRDS data. In addition, there were significant reliability improvements for both
directions of the evaluated cross streets.
Various hypothesis testing was also conducted to verify the effectiveness of the ASCT, considering
the stochasticity of the measured variables. The hypothesis testing results were found to be
consistent with the findings mentioned above. A return on investment analysis was also conducted
by calculating the benefit-cost ratio (B-C Ratio) for 5-year project life. The results show that the
B-C Ratios calculated based on Wi-Fi data and HERE data are 3.7 and 8.4, respectively. It’s worth
noting that the benefits include the operational benefits only. If the safety benefits were included,
the B-C Ratio would be even higher. The safety benefits will be added when three year of crash
data becomes available for the after conditions.

E.1 Mobility Measures
Mobility measures, including travel times, speeds, delays, and percentage of time in congestion,
were estimated based on data collected utilizing the Wi-Fi readers and the third-party-based travel
time data from two sources, which are HERE and the National Performance Management Research
Data Set (NPMRDS) data.
The adaptive signal control technology (ASCT) system along SW 8th Street was first activated on
April 22, 2017, but it was suspended on Sep 7, 2017 due to Hurricane Irma and then reactivated
on May 16, 2018, so there are two before-after phases to compare in this study. The phase before
Hurricane Irma is named “Phase I”, and the before and after periods in this phase are named
“Before-I” and “After-I”, respectively. The phase after the hurricane is named “Phase II”, and the
before and after periods in this phase are named “Before-II” and “After-II”, respectively. The date
ranges of the before and after conditions selected for this study are listed in Table E - 2. For Phase-
I, August 2015 and August 2017 were selected so that the volume related measures can be
estimated, since 7-day tube counts were performed in these months. In this study, three time
periods were selected for the analysis: the AM peak (7:00 AM to 9:00 AM), the midday (9:00 AM
to 3:30 PM), and the PM peak (3:30 PM to 7:00 PM).

E.1.1 Main Street Travel Time
Figure E - 2 shows a comparison between the travel times in the before and after conditions for
Phase I based on travel time data collected using Wi-Fi data. The results show that, for all four
study segments, there was a reduction in the average travel times for the eastbound (EB) direction
Page 7
during the PM peak period and westbound (WB) direction during the AM peak period. These are
considered as the off-peak travel directions in the two peaks, although they still carry relatively
high volumes. Specifically, the average travel time of the WB during the AM peak for Segment
ALL decreased by about 5.8 minutes (about 30%). The corresponding reduction in travel time in
the EB direction in the PM peak was 2.5 Minutes (10.4%). For the EB direction during the AM
peak (the peak direction during the AM peak), the average travel times of Segment I and III
decreased, but the travel times of Segment II (a short segment that is very congested in this peak)
and Segment IV increased. The overall change for Segment ALL (the whole corridor) in the EB
direction in the AM peak was an increase of 1.5 minutes (about 5% increase). For the WB direction
during the PM peak, the average travel times of Segments I and III increased slightly, but the travel
times for Segments II and IV decreased. The travel time for the ALL Segment in the WB direction
increased 0.43 minutes (1.3%) in the PM peak.
Figure E - 2: Segment ALL Travel Time - Phase I Analysis based on Wi-Fi Data
Figure E - 3 shows the results of the assessment of the travel time for Segment ALL according to
Phase II analysis based on Wi-Fi data. The comparison between the before and after conditions
shows that, there was a reduction in the average travel time for all four segments and all time
periods and directions, except the EB (peak direction) during the AM peak. The travel time for
the EB during the AM peak increased by an average of 0.8 minutes (3.4%), while the travel times
of the EB during the PM peak and the WB during the AM peak decreased by 1.2 minutes (5.5%)
and 1 minute (5.2%), respectively. The peak direction during the PM, which is the WB, had a
Page 8
slight reduction in travel time of 0.1 minute (0.5%). As for the mid-day period, the travel time
for the EB and WB periods decreased by 0.4 and 1.5 minutes (2.1% and 8.3%), respectively.
Figure E - 3: Segment ALL Travel Time - Phase II Analysis based on Wi-Fi Data
For phase II, the assessment of the travel time impacts was also repeated with third-party travel
time data. Figure E - 4 and Figure E - 5 show the travel time comparison results based on HERE
data and NPMRDS data, respectively. The results show reductions in the travel times of all main
street directions and time periods. In particular, the analysis based on HERE data shows the
highest improvements among the three utilized data sources. The reductions in travel times for
the EB direction according to HERE data for the AM, midday, and PM time periods were 1.9
minutes (7.3%), 2.1 minutes (10.2%), and 2.8 minutes (13.1%), respectively. For the WB
direction, the corresponding values were 2.3 minutes (11.9%), 3.1 minutes (15.8%), and 5.9
minutes (20.2%), respectively. The analysis based on NPMRDS data shows less improvements
compared to the HERE data, with the degree of improvements being closer to the results from the
analysis based on Wi-Fi data, except that the analysis based on NPMRDS data also indicated
reduced travel times for the EB direction during the AM peak, meaning that both directions of
travel had reductions in travel times for all time periods according to this analysis. The travel time
reduction based on NPMRDS data are 2.1 minutes (7.0%), 0.9 minutes (4.1%), and 1.3 minutes
(5.1%) for the AM, midday, and PM periods in EB direction and 1.7 minutes (7.9%), 1.4 minutes
(6.6%), and 0.5 minutes (1.7%) for the three time periods in the WB direction, respectively.

The above shows that all three data sources show a decrease in travel time on the main street. For
the main street on the whole segment, the evaluation based on HERE data showed the highest
improvement ranging from 7.3% to 20.2%, depending on the direction of travel and the peak period
with a median improvement of 12.5%. The corresponding values based on the NPMRDS was a
range of improvement between 1.7% and 7.9%, with a median of 5.85%. The evaluation based on

direction in the AM peak. This small change is acceptable considering the improvements in other
movement performance and the increase in throughput, as described in the sections below.
E.1.2 Cross Street Speed
Figure E - 6 shows the results of Phase I analysis of cross street speeds based on Wi-Fi data. It
can be seen that there were no significant speed changes for SW 97th Ave. However, the speeds
of SW 87th improved in both directions and all three time periods. The improvement was
particularly high for the SW 87th Ave SB. Figure E - 7 shows the speeds for the cross streets
according to Phase II analysis based on Wi-Fi data. For most directions and time periods, SW 87th
Avenue and SW 97th Avenue had improved speed. The results for phase II based on HERE data
as provided in Figure E - 8 show that all cross streets improved speeds for all directions and time
periods. This is further reflected in the delay analysis results reported next. No analysis based on
NPMRDS data was conducted for the cross streets since this data is not available for the cross
streets. The results for SW 137th Avenue are provided based on only HERE data, because it was
found that the quality of the Wi-Fi data for SW 137th Avenue was too poor to include in the
analysis, as it shows almost constant travel times for all peak periods and scenarios.

E.1.3 Total Delay
Segment delay is defined as the difference between the time it takes to travel along a given segment
and the time it would have taken to travel along that segment at the free-flow speed without stops.
In this study, the speed limits of the corridor were used as the free-flow speeds. Two types of
delays were calculated and compared. The first is the average delay in minutes per vehicle and
the second is the hourly total delay in veh-hr/hr, which is the delay in minute per vehicle multiplied
by the average hourly volume. The average delay is the measure considered from a traveler point
of view, while the total delay is the measure considered from the system point of view and is used
in benefit-cost analysis, as discussed later in this document.

Table E - 3 shows the change in total delay in veh-hr/hr of the main street movements. The results
of Phase 1 assessment of the main street total delay based on Wi-Fi data indicate significant
improvements in the non-peak directions during the AM and PM peak periods. The total delay of
the WB direction in the AM peak and the EB direction in the PM peak decreased by 31.2% and
22.7% respectively. The delay of the WB direction in the PM peak (the peak direction in the PM)
increased by 3.8%, and the EB direction in the AM peak (the peak direction in the AM) had a 0.8%
increase in total delay. The total delay of the main street in the midday improved by 5.3%.
Overall, there was a 6.4% reduction in total delay of the main street for the analyzed 12 hours of
the day. Phase II analysis based on Wi-Fi data showed less total delay benefits to the main street
compared to Phase I analysis. Again, the non-peak direction in the peak hour had more positive
results than the peak direction but the reductions in travel time for the non-peak directions (the EB
in the PM and WB in the AM) were lower than those based on Phase I analysis, ranging from 7.7%
to 9.1%. While the total delay of the EB in the AM period increased by 7.0%, the total delay of
the WB in the PM period decreased by 0.8%, and the total delay of the main street decreased by
8.0% in the midday period. Phase II analysis based on Wi-Fi data indicates there was a 4.3%
reduction in total delay of the main street for the analyzed 12 hours of the analysis.

The Phase II analysis based on HERE data in Table E - 3 shows significant improvements in total
delay for all main street movements. The improvements in delay are significantly higher than what
was estimated based on Wi-Fi data. The assessed improvement percentage in veh-hr for the two
directions of main street travel for the three analysis periods based on HERE data ranges from
15.4% to 27.9%, with an overall improvement for the 12-hour analysis period of 24.2%. The
analysis based on NPMRDS data also shows that both directions had lower total delay in the after
period but to a much less extent than what the analysis based on HERE data indicates and more in
line with the results of the analysis based on Wi-Fi data. The improvement in delay of the EB
direction in the AM, midday, and PM peak periods according to NPMRDS analysis are 6.0%,
6.9%, and 8.3%; respectively. The improvement for the westbound direction in the AM, midday,
and PM peak periods according to NPMRDS analysis are 8.7%, 12.5%, and 1.7%; respectively.
The reduction in delay of the main street when considering the 12 hours of the analysis is 6.9%.
It can be concluded based on the above results that the improvements in the total delay in veh-hr.
when aggregated over the whole day, are 4.3%, 24.2%, and 6.9% based on the Wi-Fi data, HERE,
and NPMRDS, with an average of 11.8% among the three data sources.
Table E - 4 shows the change in total delay in veh-hr/hr of the cross street movements. The cross
street analysis based on Wi-Fi data and HERE data conducted in Phase II, showed improvements
in cross street total delays. No analysis based on NPMRDS data was conducted for the cross
streets since this data is not available for the cross streets. The results for SW 137th Avenue are
provided based on only HERE data, because it’s found that the quality of the Wi-Fi data for SW
137th Avenue was too poor to provide reasonable results. Phase I analysis based on Wi-Fi data
showed that the total delay benefits for the 12-hour period for NW 87th Avenue and NW 97th
Avenue were 43.4% and 4.0%, respectively. Phase II analysis based on Wi-Fi data showed that
the benefits for the 12-hour period for NW 87th Avenue and NW 97th Avenue were 20.6% and
9.8%, respectively. Phase II analysis based on HERE data showed that the benefits for the 12 hour
period for NW 87th Avenue, NW 97th Avenue, and NW 137th Avenue were 23.5%, 15.4%, and
17.2%; respectively.

E.1.4 Percentage of Time in Congestion
The percentage of time in congestion was used to determine the proportion of time that the main
street traffic operates under unacceptable levels of service based on travel time/speed
measurements. In this study, a speed of 20 mph was used as the speed threshold to calculate this
measure, since the speed range for Level of Service (LOS) D is between 17 mph and 22 mph for
the study segments based on the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) procedure. The results for
Phase I based on Wi-Fi data show that the percentage of time in congestion decreased for all
segments in both directions during all time periods, except for the EB during the AM peak at
Segment II (a very short segment) and the WB during the midday period of Segment III. Phase II
analysis results based on Wi-Fi data show that the percentage of time in congestion for the EB
during the PM peak decreased significantly. There was also a slight reduction in the percentage
in congestion for the WB during the AM peak and mid-day. The EB during the AM peak and WB
during PM peak had a slightly increased percentage time in congestion. However, the results based
on HERE data and NPMRDS data show that all directions and time periods had a reduction in the
percentage in congestion. In particular, the analysis based on HERE data shows a very high
reduction in the congestion percentage. As examples, the HERE data shows that the percentage
of time in congestion for the WB during the PM peak decreased from 78.6% to 50.1% and the
percentage for the EB during the PM peak decreased from 24.4% to 4.73%.
E.2 Throughput
The throughput is reflected by the average hourly volume on all through-lanes of a roadway
segment in one direction of travel for each time period. Seven-day volume tube counts were
collected in the Phase I evaluation (August of 2015 and 2017). The analysis of this data showed
that the main differences between the before and after conditions are the increase in volumes in
the eastbound in the AM peak (by 5.8%) and the westbound in the PM peak (by 5.2%). These are
the heavy directions in the two peak periods. The research team did not collect data from the field
for Phase II analysis. However, the analysis of the change in throughput was still possible by using
permanent count station data from the Florida Traffic Online database and temporary (portable)
count station data obtained from FDOT District 6. The permanent and portable counts are
collected and maintained by the FDOT Forecasting and Trends Offices. The analysis of this data
shows that all hourly traffic counts for the after period were higher than those for the before period
Page 19
except for few location/time period combinations. When averaged over the main street count
station locations, the increase in volume in the eastbound direction was estimated at 5.78%, 6.66%,
and 3.76% for the AM peak, PM peak, and Mid-Day periods; respectively. For the westbound
directions, the corresponding estimates were 5.95%, 2.63%, and 7.47%. The median of the six
values listed above is 5.86%. Combining this result with the result from Phase I analysis, it can
be concluded that the system throughput increased by an average of about 5% to 6% in the after
period.
E.3 Reliability
The reliability measures utilized in this study are the Travel Time Indices (TTIs) and the plots of
the travel time rate cumulative distribution function (CDF). Different percentiles of the TTIs,
including the 95th percentile, 80th percentile, and 50th percentile (median) were calculated for both
the before and after study periods. The reliability analysis should include the same months in the
before and after periods and should be compared for at least a six month period, and preferably for
a whole year. While seven months of Wi-Fi data was used for Phase II analysis, only one month
of Wi-Fi data was used for Phase I analysis. Thus, the results from the reliability analysis based
on Phase I should be viewed with caution.
The CDF of the travel time rate were plotted and assessed to allow the evaluation of reliability.
The travel time rate is defined as the average number of seconds a vehicle spends to travel one
mile along the corridor. Thus, it is the inverse of speed. The CDF chart displays the cumulative
probability of a certain travel time rate value (the probability of having travel time rate less than
or equal to certain value). As a general note, the CDF indicates a worse reliability if it is to the
right and to the bottom of a plot compared to another CDF.
The travel time rate CDF results for EB of the whole study corridor according to Phase I and Phase
II analysis are shown in Figure E - 9 and Figure E - 10, respectively. If the 80th percentile TTR is
taken as a reference, then the Phase I results shown in Figure E-8 indicate deterioration of 5.1%
(297 vs. 312 seconds per mile) in the AM peak, 1.9% deterioration in the midday (207 vs. 211
seconds per mile), but 5.3% improvement in the PM (226 vs. 214 seconds per mile). According
to Phase II results, shown in Figure E - 10, these values are 4.5% deterioration (231 vs. 241 seconds
Page 20
per mile), 0% (164 seconds per mile in both cases), and 4.5% improvement (190 vs. 181 seconds
per mile), respectively. Figure E - 11 and Figure E - 12 show the CDF plots for the WB direction
based on Phase I and Phase II analyses, respectively. The changes in the 80th percentile TTR
according to Phase I shown in Figure E - 11 for the AM, midday, and PM peak are 22.1%
improvement (234 vs. 182 seconds per mile), 1.9% improvement (182 vs. 179 seconds per mile),
and 6.8% deterioration (297 vs. 317 seconds per mile). The Phase II analysis results, shown in
Figure E - 12 indicate the corresponding changes for AM, MD, and PM are 4.2% improvement
(159 vs. 153 seconds per mile), 7.7% improvement (156 vs. 144 seconds per mile), and 2.8%
deterioration (243 vs. 250 seconds per mile). In addition, the 80th percentile TTR results based on
HERE data and NPMRDS data for Phase II showed that the reliability improvement were between
4.8% and 20.1% (HERE data) and between 3.7% and 9.4% (NPMRDS data). Considering that
Phase II reliability analysis is more dependable. It can be concluded that the improvement in
reliability is not significant.

E.4 Safety
The safety of SW 8th Street was assessed by calculating the crash rate (number of crashes per year,
per mile) based on the Signal Four Analytics crash data. To get a longer period of time for the
after condition, the before and after conditions of Phase I were combined with those of Phase II
for safety analysis. So there was a total of 16 months (from May 2017 to August 2017 and from
June 2018 to May 2019) of crash data for the after conditions with adaptive control. The study
used a total of 3 years and 10 months (from January 2014 to March 2017 and from October 2017
to April 2018) of crash data for the before conditions (time-of-day control). It should be pointed
out that a before-after safety analysis should be based on a minimum of three years for the before

period and a minimum of three years for the after period. Thus, the presented results should be
viewed with caution and the analysis should be repeated when three year of crash data becomes
available for the after conditions.
This study utilized the Observational Before/After Evaluation using Safety Performance Functions
(the Empirical Bayes Method) recommended in the Highway Safety Manual (HSM). The
Empirical Bayes Method considers the stochastic nature of crashes by compensating for the
potential bias resulting from regression-to-the mean. In addition, the method accounts for the
change in traffic volumes since a change in volume is expected to result in a natural change in
crash frequency independent of any treatment. This method showed a reduction in crash frequency
on the main street by 9.73%. For the cross streets, the estimated reductions in the crash frequency
were 11.6%, 4.05%, and 9.74% for SW 87th Avenue, SW 97th Avenue, and SW 137th Avenue;
respectively
E.5 Hypothesis Testing
Various hypotheses testing was conducted to test the effectiveness of the ASCT. This type of
testing is normally used to compare parameters between two conditions such as the means,
standard deviations, proportions, and data distributions. This is necessary to prove that the
difference in the parameters between the two conditions is statistically significant. For example,
the difference in the means of the data in the before and after conditions could be due to statistical
random variation in the data. Thus, hypotheses testing is conducted to ensure that this is not the
case. The hypotheses testing was conducted in this study according to the evaluation plan. The
results from statistical hypothesis testing were found to be consistent with the results of the
percentage change in the mean of the mobility measures reported earlier in the mobility analysis
section.
E.6 Benefit-Cost Analysis
An important criterion in the selection and adoption of a technology is the return on investment of
the technology. The return on investment analysis is conducted by calculating estimates of the
net present value (NPV) or benefit-cost ratio (B-C Ratio) of the analyzed solution. This involves
Page 26
estimating of the present values of the current and future benefits and costs over the project’s
economic life. A discount rate is used to calculate the present values of the cash flows.
The travel time reduction for each direction and time periods according to Phase II analysis and
the corresponding hourly volume estimated based on all the volume counts were used to calculate
the saving of vehicle hours travelled (VHT) per day along both main street and cross streets. The
saved VHT were multiplied by the number of weekdays per year (260 days) and the dollar value
($15 per vehicle-hour) to get the annual benefit. To get the total 5-year benefits, the annual benefit
was multiplied by 4.1 which is the factor value for an interest rate of 7% and project life of 5 years
to convert benefits to present worth. For the cross streets benefit, it’s further multiplied by the
number of cross streets (8 major cross streets) to get the total benefits for all cross streets. The
sum of the 5-year benefits of both main street and cross streets were divided by the total cost of
the system including one time investment in the ASCT system including hardware and software
and construction costs and recurrent operation and maintenance costs to get the B-C Ratio. Table
E - 5 and Table E - 6 show the procedure of calculating the B-C Ratio based on Wi-Fi data and
HERE data, respectively. There were no NPMRDS data for the cross streets, so this data was not
used for the analysis. The results show that the B-C Ratios calculated based on Wi-Fi data and
HERE data are 3.7 and 8.4, respectively. It can be concluded that the ASCT system is cost-
effective.

1. INTRODUCTION
An adaptive signal control technology (ASCT) system has the potential to improve transportation
system mobility, reliability, safety, and environmental impacts by accommodating changing traffic
demands at signalized intersections. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District
6 has deployed the InSync adaptive traffic control system between SW 67th Avenue and SW 142nd
Avenue along SW 8th Street in Miami-Dade County, as shown in Figure 1 and Table 1.

The installed ASCT is the InSync Fusion adaptive traffic control system developed by Rhythm
Engineering. It is an intelligent transportation system that enables traffic signals to adapt to actual
traffic demand. The system is based on two main concepts,
Local Optimization: uses traffic sensors (video image detection (VID) or the existing loop
detection) to estimate the demands, the waiting times, and queues at an intersection.
InSync utilizes this data to assign dynamic phasing and dynamic green splits to approaches
to use green time efficiently at the local level.
Global Optimization: InSync can provide progression along an entire corridor using what
is referred to as the “green tunnels.” As such, platoons of vehicles gather and are then
released through the corridor. By communicating with each other, the signals anticipate
the green tunnel’s arrival to allow the vehicles to pass through without slowing down or
stopping. The green tunnels’ duration and frequency can vary to best support traffic
conditions. Between green tunnels, the local optimization works to best serve the side
streets and left turns. After a specified percentage of the tunnel duration has passed, In|Sync
can end the tunnel early if there is a large enough gap between cars. This truncation
percentage and size of the gap are specified by the engineer.
An important concept in InSync is the period length. This length is set to serve all coordinated
tunnels and serve all occupied phases at least once per period. At the site level, the InSync
Page 38
installation involved installing the InSync processor, an industrial-grade micro controller that
integrates with the traffic cabinets and controllers via industry standard connections. It also
involved installing VID cameras for traffic detection.
Please note that although the evaluation was done to determine the impact of the installed
technology, FDOT District 6 has been effectively involved in the day-to-day management and
operations of the facility. Thus, the benefits presented in this report reflected these activities also.
The evaluation of the system was done for the before and after period, and this report clearly shows
the changes of performances between the two periods. It is expected that the changes in
performance are due to the deployed system.
The goal of this project was agreed on in a stakeholder workshop conducted as part of an effort to
develop an evaluation plan for the project, and reads as follows: “The project goal is to improve
the efficiency of SW 8th Street, between SW 142nd Avenue and SW 67th Avenue, using
sustainable signal technology to minimize congestion and increase throughput where possible,
without compromising safety for all users.”
To test if the above goal and the associated objectives are met with the deployment of an adaptive
signal control system, an evaluation plan was developed by this research team based on significant
stakeholder involvement from project stakeholders and in accordance with the United States
Department of Transportation’s (USDOT’s) ITS Evaluation Guidelines, the Federal Highway
Administration’s (FHWA’s) “Measures of Effectiveness and Validation Guidance for Adaptive
Signal Control Technologies” document, and other related guidelines and reports on the subject.
Various performance measures were proposed in the evaluation plan to assess the effectiveness of
this adaptive signal control system, including measures related to mobility, reliability, safety,
environmental impacts, and agency operations. The evaluation plan is available in a different
document produced as part of this effort.
This document presents the evaluation of the system according to a previously developed
evaluation plan, developed by the evaluation team, as part of the project. The remainder of this
document is organized as follows. Section 2 details the data collection and processing procedures
utilized in the evaluation. Section 3 presents the results of the comparison of the performance
Page 39
measures between the after and the before conditions. Section 4 presents the results of the
statistical hypothesis testing to further compare the after to the before conditions. The benefit-cost
analysis results are presented in Section 5. The conclusion is provided in Section 6.

2. DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING
To compare the performance measures between the after and before conditions, data from multiple
sources were collected and preprocessed in this project. This section presents a review of the
collected data that was used in the evaluation.
2.1 Wi-Fi Data
Compared to floating car studies, automatic vehicle identification technologies such as Bluetooth,
Wi-Fi and others can provide continuous measurements of travel time for a given roadway
segment. In this project, the Acyclica Wi-Fi readers were selected by FDOT District 6 and their
consultants to be deployed along SW 8th Street in Miami, Florida, between SW 67th Avenue and
SW 142nd Avenue (the study segment), and also at cross street approaches to the study segment.
Figure 2 and Table 2 show the locations of these Wi-Fi readers. The Wi-Fi readers can report the
travel times between any pair of predefined origins and destinations at the 5-minute aggregation
level. The raw-detection data of individual vehicles, as well as a number of matching vehicles, can
also be visualized and downloaded from the Acyclica website. Figure 3 shows sample snapshots
of the information reported in the Acyclica website. The green pins in the figure represent the Wi-
Fi readers.
In this project, the Wi-Fi data is used as a major data source for evaluating the performance of the
adaptive signal control system, including main street travel times, speed, delay, and percentage
time in congestion. The Wi-Fi data was uploaded to the ITS Data Capture and Performance
Management (ITSDCAP) tool, developed for the FDOT by the research team.

2.2 Third-Party Travel Time Data
In addition to Acyclica Wi-Fi data, third-party travel time data including HERE data and the
National Performance Management Research Data Set (NPMRDS) data were also used to evaluate
the mobility of SW 8th Street main street segments. The NPMRDS is procured and sponsored
by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and it includes archived speed and travel time
data set (including associated location referencing data) that covers the National Highway System
(NHS) and additional roadways near 26 key border crossings with Canada (20 crossings) and
Mexico (6 crossings). It includes speeds and travel times at 5-minute intervals on over 400,000
road segments for passenger vehicles, trucks, and combination of both. The University of
Maryland Center for Advanced Transportation Technology Laboratory (CATT Lab) hosts the
NPMRDS on the website of the Regional Integrated Transportation Information System (RITIS),
making the data easy to download at user-defined geographies and temporal resolutions. RITIS
website also provides the travel time data collected by HERE and provided as part of a contract
with the FDOT. HERE is a company that provides mapping and location data and related services.
The travel times obtained from both NPMRDS and HERE are estimated based on vehicle tracking
using automatic vehicle location (AVL technology like GPS).
The HERE and NPMRDS data sets were downloaded from RITIS website and uploaded to the
ITSDCAP tool. The results based on the three data sources were used in the evaluation of this
study.
2.3 Traffic Counts
A number of measures require traffic volume counts as inputs. Therefore, 7-day tube counts were
collected by a data collection team that has a contract with FDOT District 6 at the following main
street segments and cross streets.
Main Street segments:
Segment 1: SW 137th Avenue to SW 127th Avenue

The data collection was performed in four periods in 2015 (May, August, October, and December,
respectively), one period in 2017 (August), and one period in 2018 (February) as well. The
collected volume data were used to perform the benefit-cost analysis. In addition, the volume data
was compared between August of 2015 and August of 2017, representing the before and after
conditions, respectively. The collected tube counts were processed and aggregated to 15-minute
time intervals. Figure 4 shows an example of the tube count data after processing and aggregation.
The traffic count data were uploaded to ITSDCAP tool.

The permanent count station data from the Florida Traffic Online database and temporary
(portable) count station data obtained from FDOT district 6 were also used for the analysis. The
permanent and portable counts are collected and maintained by the FDOT Forecasting and Trends
Page 46
Offices. The permanent station is located at the west end of the facility at SW 8th Street between
SW 142nd Avenue and SW 139th Avenue. The details of the data collection from the portable
stations are shown in Error! Reference source not found..
2.4 Crash Data
To assess the safety improvement, crash data were extracted and downloaded from the Signal Four
Analytics, an interactive web-based geospatial crash analytical system developed by and hosted at
the University of Florida Geoplan Center. Typically a minimum of three years of crash data is
used for safety analysis. In this study, the after period is less than three years. To get the longest
period of time for the after condition, the before and after periods of Phase I were combined with
those of Phase II, respectively, so there was a total of 16 months (from May 2017 to August 2017
and from June 2018 to May 2019) of crash data for the after conditions with adaptive control. A
total of 3 years and 10 months (from January 2014 to March 2017 and from October 2017 to April
2018) of crash data was used for the before conditions (time-of-day control). Figure 5 shows an
example of crash data obtained from this study. The crash data was uploaded to the ITSDCAP
tool.

3. PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT ESTIMATION RESULTS
This chapter presents the comparison results of the assessment performance measures identified
in the evaluation plan for the conditions after and before the implementation of the adaptive signal
control system. The spatial segmentation of both the main street and cross streets is first
introduced. The results of the estimation of the performance measures are then presented in terms
of mobility, reliability, and safety.
3.1 Roadway Segmentation
To facilitate the estimation of the system performance of the corridor, the main street was divided
into four segments, which are referred to as Segments I, II, III, and IV. These segments correspond
to the coordinated sub-systems as previously set by Miami-Dade County Department of
Transportation & Public Works (MDC DTPW) in the time of day operations of the corridor. In
addition to these four segments, the entire study corridor along SW 8th Street is assessed and
referred to as Segment ALL in this document. Figure 6 to Figure 10 show the locations of the
segments as red lines and the Wi-Fi readers as green pins, and Table 4 lists the boundaries of the
segments and the average distances between the signalized intersections for each segment.

and SW 142th Avenue 0.45 2.7

142th Avenue 0.36 7.5
To estimate how the adaptive signal control system affects the cross streets, the performance
measures were also assessed for four cross street segments in the before-conditions report. Their
locations are shown in Figure 11 to Figure 14, and Table 5 lists their boundaries and distances.
However, due to the construction activities for SW 107th Ave in the after conditions, the
comparison results for mobility and reliability are only presented for the three cross streets (SW
87th Ave, SW 97th Ave, and SW 137th Ave). The safety analysis includes all four cross streets
including the SW 107th Ave.

3.2 Mobility
Mobility measures, including travel times, speeds, delays, and percentage of time in congestion,
were estimated based on data collected utilizing the Wi-Fi readers and the third-party-based travel
time data from two sources, which are HERE and the National Performance Management Research
Data Set (NPMRDS) data. The Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) procedures were used to
determine the urban street level of service (LOS) based on travel speeds. The collected tube count
data were used to calculate the hourly average volumes, which in turn was used to calculate the
total delay in veh-hr/hr.
The adaptive signal control technology (ASCT) system along SW 8th Street was first activated on
April 22, 2017, but it was suspended on Sep 7, 2017 due to Hurricane Irma and then reactivated
on May 16, 2018, so there are two before-after phases to compare in this study. The phase before
Hurricane Irma is named “Phase I”, and the before and after periods in this phase are named
“Before-I” and “After-I”, respectively. The phase after the hurricane is named “Phase II”, and the
before and after periods in this phase are named “Before-II” and “After-II”, respectively. The date
Page 52
ranges of the before and after conditions selected for this study are listed in Table 6. For Phase-I,
August 2015 and August 2017 were selected so that the volume related measures can be estimated,
since 7-day tube counts were performed in these months. In this study, three time periods were
selected for the analysis: the AM peak (7:00 AM to 9:00 AM), the midday (9:00 AM to 3:30 PM),
and the PM peak (3:30 PM to 7:00 PM).

3.2.1 Travel Time and Speed
The segment travel time is defined as the average travel time of all vehicles, while traveling on the
segment between an origin and a destination along the corridor during the study period. Since the
speed and travel time data provide the same trends, the charts showing travel time results are
presented in APPENDIX A, and only the charts of the speed results are presented in this section.
Main Street Analysis Based on Wi-Fi Data
APPENDIX A includes the average travel times of the main street segments based on Wi-Fi data
during Phase I. Figure 15 shows a comparison between the speeds in the before and after
conditions for Phase I based on travel time data collected using Wi-Fi data. The speed results
presented in these figures are consistent with the travel time results presented in APPENDIX A.
The results show that, for all four study segments, there was a reduction in the average travel times
for the eastbound (EB) direction during the PM peak period and westbound (WB) direction during
the AM peak period. These are considered as the off-peak travel directions in the two peaks,
Page 53
although they still carry relatively high volumes. Specifically, the average travel time of the WB
during the AM peak for Segment ALL decreased by about 5.8 minutes (about 30%). The
corresponding reduction in travel time in the EB direction in the PM peak was 2.5 Minutes
(10.4%).
For the EB direction during the AM peak (the peak direction during the AM peak), the average
travel times of Segment I and III decreased, but the travel times of Segment II (a short segment
that is very congested in this peak) and Segment IV increased. The overall change for Segment
ALL (the whole corridor) in the EB direction in the AM peak was an increase of 1.5 minutes (about
5% increase). For the WB direction during the PM peak, the average travel times of Segments I
and III increased slightly, but the travel times for Segments II and IV decreased. The travel time
for the ALL Segment in the WB direction increased 0.43 minutes (1.3%) in the PM peak.
As for the mid-day period, the results show that the travel time for the EB traffic on Segment I,
WB traffic on Segment II, and WB traffic on Segment IV WB decreased. However, the overall
change in travel time (for the ALL segment) appears to be small.

APPENDIX A also includes the average travel times of the main street segments based on Wi-Fi
data during Phase II, and the corresponding speed results are shown in Figure 16. The comparison
between the before and after conditions shows that, there was a reduction in the average travel
time for all four segments and all time periods and directions, except the EB (peak direction) during
the AM peak. The travel time for the EB during the AM peak increased by an average of 0.8
minutes (3.4%), while the travel times of the EB during the PM peak and the WB during the AM
peak decreased by 1.2 minutes (5.5%) and 1 minute (5.2%), respectively. The peak direction
during the PM, which is the WB, had a slight reduction in travel time of 0.1 minute (0.5%). As
for the mid-day period, the travel time for the EB and WB periods decreased by 0.4 and 1.5 minutes
(2.1% and 8.3%), respectively.
The results also show that the travel times of different segments changed differently. Segment I
had a reduced travel time for the EB direction in all time periods and the WB direction in mid-day.
Segment II, which is a very short segment, had increased travel time for all directions and time
periods. Segment III had reduced travel time for the WB during the AM and mid-day periods.
Segment IV had reduced travel times for almost all directions and time periods except the WB
during the PM peak. The EB during the PM and WB during AM and mid-day periods; contributing
2.4, 1.2, and 1.0 minutes of travel time reduction, respectively.

Main Street Analysis Based on Third-Party Data
For phase II, the results of the mobility measures were also verified with third-party travel time
data. The travel time results are included in APPENDIX A. Figure 17 and Figure 18 show the
corresponding speed results based on HERE data and NPMRDS data, respectively. The results
show reductions in the travel times of all main street directions and time periods. In particular, the
analysis based on HERE data shows the highest improvements among the three utilized data
sources. The reductions in travel times for the EB direction according to HERE data for the AM,
midday, and PM time periods were 1.9 minutes (7.3%), 2.1 minutes (10.2%), and 2.8 minutes
(13.1%), respectively. For the WB direction, the corresponding values were 2.3 minutes (11.9%),
3.1 minutes (15.8%), and 5.9 minutes (20.2%), respectively. The analysis based on NPMRDS
data shows less improvements compared to the HERE data, with the degree of improvements being
closer to the results from the analysis based on Wi-Fi data, except that the analysis based on
NPMRDS data also indicated reduced travel times for the EB direction during the AM peak,
meaning that both directions of travel had reductions in travel times for all time periods according
to this analysis. The travel time reduction based on NPMRDS data are 2.1 minutes (7.0%), 0.9
minutes (4.1%), and 1.3 minutes (5.1%) for the AM, midday, and PM periods in EB direction and
1.7 minutes (7.9%), 1.4 minutes (6.6%), and 0.5 minutes (1.7%) for the three time periods in the
WB direction, respectively.
Similar to the results based on Wi-Fi data, the changes to the different segments are different. The
analysis based on HERE data show improvements for almost all four segments in both directions
during all time periods, except that Segment II, which is a very short segment, had slightly
increased travel time in the EB during the AM and midday periods. In general, the analysis based
on NPMRDS data shows slightly increased travel time for Segment I and II but obvious reduction
in travel times for Segment III and IV, except for the WB direction during the PM peak that has
the opposite results.

assessment purposes. Although such resolution of the analysis is not used in the performance
assessment in this document, it can be used by the system engineers and operators to support their
decisions with regard to setting system parameters. APPENDIX B includes detailed speed analyses
for sub-segments of Segment III and IV based on Wi-Fi data (both phase I and II). Each of these
sub-segments connect neighboring intersections that are equipped with Wi-Fi readers. In addition
to higher spatial resolution, the comparison in APPENDIX B is based on each hour of the peak
period, rather than for the whole period. Thus, the results in APPENDIX B provide a more detailed
examination of the speed changes in the system that are useful to the operators of the system.
The above shows that all three data sources show a decrease in travel time on the main street. For
the main street on the whole segment, the evaluation based on HERE data showed the highest
improvement ranging from 7.3% to 20.2%, depending on the direction of travel and the peak period
with a median improvement of 12.5%. The corresponding values based on the NPMRDS was a
range of improvement between 1.7% and 7.9%, with a median of 5.85%. The evaluation based on
the Wi-Fi data showed a range of improvement between -3.4% and 8.3%, with a median value of
3.65%. The only negative impact value obtained in the evaluation was the -3.4% for the eastbound
direction in the AM peak. This small change is acceptable considering the improvements in other
movement performance and the increase in throughput, as described in the rest of the document.
Cross Street Analysis
Figure 19 to Figure 21 shows the speeds for the cross streets. It should be mentioned that the
results for SW 107th Avenue are not given here, due to the lane addition construction along the
street. There are also no results presented based on NPMRDS data for the cross streets due to the
lack of data. The results for SW 137th Avenue are provided based on only HERE data, because
it’s found that the quality of the Wi-Fi data for SW 137th Avenue was too poor to provide
reasonable results.
Figure 19 shows the results during Phase I based on Wi-Fi data. It can be seen that there were no
significant speed changes for SW 97th Ave. However, the speed of SW 87th Ave improved in
both directions and all three time periods. The improvement was particularly high for the SW 87th
Page 61
Ave SB. Figure 20 shows the speeds for the cross streets during for Phase II analysis based on
Wi-Fi data. For most directions and time periods, SW 87th Avenue and SW 97th Avenue had
improved speed. The results for phase II based on HERE data as provided in Figure 21 show that
all the cross streets including SW 137th Avenue had improved speeds for all directions and time
periods. This is further reflected in the delay analysis results reported next.

3.2.2 Delay
Segment delay is defined as the difference between the time it takes to travel along a given segment
and the time it would have taken to travel along that segment at the free-flow speed without stops.
In this study, the speed limits of the corridor were used as the free-flow speeds. Two types of
delays were calculated and compared. The first is the average delay in minutes per vehicle and
the second is the hourly total delay in veh-hr/hr, which is the delay in minute per vehicle multiplied
by the average hourly volume. The average delay is the measure considered from a traveler point
of view, while the total delay is the measure considered from the system point of view and is used
in benefit-cost analysis, as discussed later in this document.
The average and total delays are included in figures in APPENDIX C. These results indicate the
average delay results, as expected, are consistent with the travel time and speed results presented
in Section 3.2.1. It is more interesting to compare the total delay, since it better illustrates the
impact of the change percentages in travel time of different movements and directions on the
overall delays, considering that different movements have different volumes. Table 7 and Table
8 show the change in delay in veh-hr/hr for the main street and cross streets, respectively. Since
the total delay is a multiplication of the volume and average delay, the results may be biased
because an increase in total delay may be due to an increase in volume, not necessarily in average
delay. For this reason, Figure 80 in Appendix C, shows that the EB of Segment ALL during the
AM peak in Phase I increased when using different volumes for the before and after conditions,
but it decreased when both the before volume is used for both before and after conditions.
However, it’s worth noting that the results presented in Table 7 and Table 8 were calculated using
the same volumes for both the before and after conditions.

The results of Phase 1 assessment of the main street total delay based on Wi-Fi data indicate
significant improvements in the non-peak directions during the AM and PM peak periods. As
shown inTable 7, the total delay of the WB direction in the AM peak and the EB direction in the
PM peak decreased by 32.4% and 21.8% respectively. The delay of the WB direction in the PM
peak (the peak direction in the PM) increased by 5.6%, and the EB direction in the AM peak (the
peak direction in the AM) had a 5.1% decrease in total delay. The total delay of the main street
in the midday improved by 5.2%. Overall, there was a 6.4% reduction in total delay of the main
street for the analyzed 12 hours of the day. Phase II analysis based on Wi-Fi data showed less
total delay benefits to the main street compared to Phase I analysis. Again the non-peak direction
in the peak hour had more positive results than the peak direction but the reductions in travel time
for the non-peak directions (the EB in the PM and WB in the AM) were lower than those based on
Phase I analysis, ranging from 7.7% to 9.1%. While the total delay of the EB in the AM period
increased by 7.0%, the total delay of the WB in the PM period decreased by 0.8%, and the total
delay of the main street decreased by 8.0% in the midday period. Phase II analysis based on Wi-
Fi data indicates there was a 4.3% reduction in total delay of the main street total delay for the
analyzed 12 hours of the analysis. A sensitivity analysis was conducted by excluding the months
of March and April, to isolate the effect of the introduction of the intersection of SW 89th Street.
The results showed a similar trend to the evaluation with these two months but the improvement
in the main street performance increased from 4.3% to 6.3%. Interesting enough, this percentage
is the same as what is calculated in Phase I evaluation,
The Phase II analysis based on HERE data in Table 7 shows significant improvements in total
delay for all main street movements. The improvements in delay are significantly higher than what
was estimated based on Wi-Fi data. The assessed improvement percentage in veh-hr for the two
directions of main street travel for the three analysis periods based on HERE data ranges from
15.4% to 27.9%, with an overall improvement for the 12-hour analysis period of 24.2%. This
improvement percentage seems to be high, particularly when compared with those presented based
on Wi-Fi data earlier. The analysis based on NPMRDS data also shows that both directions had
lower travel time in the after period but to a much less extent than what the analysis based on
HERE data indicates and more in line with the results of the analysis based on Wi-Fi data. The
improvement in travel times of the EB direction in the AM, midday, and PM peak periods
Page 68
according to NPMRDS analysis are 6.0%, 6.9%, and 8.3%; respectively. The improvement for
the westbound direction in the AM, midday, and PM peak periods according to NPMRDS analysis
are 8.7%, 12.5%, and 1.7%; respectively. The reduction in delay of the main street when
considering the 12 hour of the analysis is 6.9%. It can be concluded based on the above results
that the main street have an overall reduction in travel time for the whole day of 6% to 7% based
on NPMRDS and Wi-Fi data analysis with the analysis based on HERE data shows much higher
improvement (24.2%).
The cross street analysis based on Wi-Fi data and HERE data (see Table 8) shows the change in
total delay in veh-hr/hr of the cross street movements. The cross street analysis based on Wi-Fi
data and HERE data conducted in Phase II, showed improvements in cross street total delays. No
analysis based on NPMRDS data was conducted for the cross streets since this data is not available
for the cross streets. Phase I analysis based on Wi-Fi data showed that the total delay benefits for
the 12 hour period for NW 87th Avenue and NW 97th Avenue were 43.4% and 4.0%, respectively.
Phase II analysis based on Wi-Fi data showed that the benefits for the 12-hour period for NW 87th
Avenue and NW 97th Avenue were 20.6% and 9.8%, respectively. Phase II analysis based on
HERE data showed that the benefits for the 12-hour period for NW 87th Avenue, NW 97th
Avenue, and NW 137th Avenue were 23.5%, 15.4%, and 17.2%; respectively.
3.2.3 Percentage of Time in Congestion
The percentage of time in congestion was used to determine the proportion of time that the main
street traffic operates under unacceptable levels of service based on travel time/speed
measurements. In this study, a speed of 20 mph was used as the speed threshold to calculate this
measure, since the speed range for Level of Service (LOS) D is between 17 mph and 22 mph for
the study segments based on the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) procedure (Section 3.2.4
provides more details on how the LOS is determined). The 20 mph rather than the 17 mph (the
threshold between LOS D and E) was used to indicate congestion. This is because the LOS
analysis is normally performed in 15-minute increments, while the percentage of time in
congestion in this study is calculated for the whole peak period and also for each hour within the
peak. Figure 22to Figure 25 show the percentage of time in congestion for the main street segments
Page 69
during the before and after study periods. More detailed results that involve the assessment of the
percentage of time in congestion for each segment between neighboring intersections using Wi-Fi
reader data and for each hour of the analysis are included in APPENDIX D and can be useful for
the operation analysis.
Figure 22 presents the main street percentage of time in congestion based on Wi-Fi Data during
Phase I. The results show that the percentage of time in congestion decreased for almost all
segments in both directions during all time periods, except for the EB during the AM peak at
Segment II (a very short segment), the WB during the midday period at Segment III, and the EB
during the midday at Segment IV.

Figure 23 to Figure 25 present the main street percentage of time in congestion during Phase II
based on Wi-Fi Data, HERE data, and NPMRDS data, respectively. Phase II analysis results based
on Wi-Fi data show that the percentage of time in congestion for the EB during the PM peak
decreased significantly. There was also a slight reduction in the percentage of time in congestion
for the WB during the AM peak and mid-day. The EB during the AM peak and WB during PM
peak had slightly increased percentage of time in congestion. However, the results based on HERE
data and NPMRDS data show that all directions and time periods had a reduction in the percentage
of time in congestion. In particular, the analysis based on HERE data show a very high reduction
in the congestion percentage. As examples, the HERE data shows that the percentage of time in
congestion for the WB during the PM peak decreased from 78.6% to 50.1% and the percentage for
the EB during the PM peak decreased from 24.4% to 4.73%.

3.2.4 Level of Service
The Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) procedure was used to determine the arterial LOS based
on travel speeds. In this procedure, the first step is to identify the functional category and design
category of the study streets. According to the criteria given in the HCM, the functional category
of both the main street and cross streets in this study is “Principal Arterial,” and their design
category is “Suburban,” except that Segment I of the main street is categorized as “Intermediate”
based on the criteria listed in the HCM, which includes the speed limit and signals per mile. Based
on the functional category and design category, all study segments were determined to be urban
street class II. The LOS of each segment was determined based on its urban street class and
average travel speed by looking up an exhibit table in the HCM.
Table 9 to Table 12 present the LOSs of the time period with the worst LOS in the AM (07:00 AM
to 09:00 AM) and PM (3:30 PM to 7:00 PM) peak periods for the main street and cross streets
based on Wi-Fi data according to Phase I and Phase II analysis, respectively. To clarify, the time
period with the worst LOS can be different for different segment and different direction depending
on the congestion variation along the facility. The LOS for each 15-minute intervals is presented
in APPENDIX E. Please note that although the LOS on most segments appear to be acceptable,
this is likely due to the long segments used in the analysis, which does not consider localized
congestion on individual sub-segments within each segment. The WB of Segment I (a one-mile
segment between SW 67th Avenue and SR 826 NB on-ramp) has the worst LOS (LOS F) for both
the before and after conditions in the PM peak according to Phase I analysis. However, Phase II
analysis shows that in the after conditions, the LOS improved from F to E.

3.2.5 Average Hourly Volume
The average hourly volume, as estimated in this study, is the average number of vehicles per hour
on all through-lanes of a roadway segment in one direction of travel for each time period. Seven-
day volume tube counts were collected in the Phase I evaluation (August of 2015 and 2017).
Figure 26 shows the volumes for the main street segments. It can be seen from these figures that
the obvious changes include the volume increase for Segment II and IV WB during the PM peak
and Segment III EB during AM peak. The detailed average hourly volume results for each tube
count location in the main street are included in APPENDIX F. Comparing the volumes reported
in Figure 26 based on Phase I analysis of the whole facility (Segment ALL), it can be seen that the
main differences between the before and after conditions are the increase in volumes in the
eastbound in the AM peak (by 5.8%) and the westbound in the PM peak (by 5.2%). As discussed
in the previous sections, according to Phase I analysis, there were a small decrease in speed as
shown in Figure 15, in the EB during the AM peak and WB during the PM peak. This slight
decrease in speed is justifiable given the increase in throughputs of these movements and the
improvements in travel times/delays of other intersection movements.

The research team did not collect data from the field for Phase II analysis. However, the analysis
of the change in throughput was still possible by using permanent count station data from the
Florida Traffic Online database and temporary (portable) count station data obtained from FDOT
district 6.
The hourly counts were collected from each station for the before and after conditions. For each
station, the hourly daily traffic counts were averaged for each analysis period (the AM peak, PM
peak, and Mid-Day) as shown in Table 13. Table 13 shows that all hourly traffic counts for the
after period were higher than the before period except for few location/time period combinations.
When averaged over the seven station locations, the increase in volume in the eastbound direction
was estimated at 5.78%, 6.66%, and 3.76% for the AM peak, PM peak, and Mid-Day periods;
respectively. For the westbound directions, the corresponding estimates were 5.95%, 2.63%, and
7.47%. The median of the six values listed above is 5.86%. Combining this result with the result
from Phase I analysis, it can be concluded that the system throughput increased by an average of
about 5% to 6% in the after period.

3.3 Reliability
The reliability measures utilized in this study are the Travel Time Index (TTI) and Travel Time
Rate (TTR) Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF). TTI is the ratio of travel time in the peak
period to the travel time at free-flow conditions. TTR is the reciprocal of speed, and it means the
time taken to travel one mile. CDF is the probability that a variable takes a value less than or equal
to certain value. It is a method to describe the distribution of random variables. The reliability
analyses for both phases are based on the Wi-Fi data. The travel time rate, a measure of reliability,
was also estimated based on HERE and NRPDMS data for Phase II.
3.3.1 TTI
Different percentile TTI, including the 95th percentile, 80th percentile, and 50th percentile
(Median) TTIs were calculated for both the before and after study periods. When comparing travel
time measurements, it is important to compare not only the changes in the average values, as is
done in the mobility analysis section of this document but also different percentile travel times.
These percentiles reflect how reliable is the travel along the corridor, which is an important
consideration to travelers trying to arrive on time to their destinations.
Reliability analysis should include the same months in the before and after periods and should be
compared for at least a six month period, and preferably for a whole year. While seven months
data was used for Phase II analysis, only one month data was used for Phase I analysis. Thus, the
results from the reliability analysis based on Phase I should be viewed with caution.
Figure 27 and Figure 28 present the main street TTIs according to Phase I and Phase II analysis,
respectively. The results show that Segment I’s reliability improved for all scenarios. The TTI
results for Segment II (a very short segment) show that, the EB during AM had improved reliability
according to Phase II. For all other segments, the TTI values decreased and their reliability
improved according to both Phase I and Phase II. The TTI results for Segment III show small
changes in reliability. The results for Segment IV show that that the TTI values for the WB during
the AM peak and mid-day and the EB during the PM peak decreased and that there was no
significant change for the EB reliability during the AM peak and midday. When considering the
Page 83
whole segment, the TTI results show improvements in the TTI based on Phase II analysis for all
scenarios except in the EB direction in the midday and PM. Phase II is more dependable than
Phase I analysis for reliability assessment, as described earlier. Overall, it can be stated that there
was no significant improvement in the reliability of the facility based on Wi-Fi data analysis. More
detailed analyses of these changes are presented in the next section when discussing the CDF plots.
APPENDIX G lists the detailed TTI results for each segment between neighboring intersections
with Wi-Fi readers for the main street for each hour of the analysis. This appendix can provide a
more detailed assessment of the reliability of the corridor.

Figure 29 and Figure 30 show the TTI results for the cross streets according to Phase I and Phase
II analyses, respectively. The TTI values improved for both directions of SW 87th Ave, in all
three time periods. In particular, the TTIs for the SB direction during the PM peak and the NB
direction during the AM peak decreased significantly. Along SW 97th Ave, most of the scenarios
have a slight change in the TTI values except that the TTI for the NB during the AM peak decreased
significantly. The results of Phase II analyses show that in the PM peak, both directions of SW
97th Avenue had significant improvement in reliability.

3.3.2 Travel Time Rate CDF
In addition to the travel time index analysis presented in the previous section, the cumulative
distribution functions (CDF) of the travel time rate were also plotted and assessed to allow further
evaluation of the reliability. The travel time rate is defined as the average number of seconds a
vehicle spends to travel one mile along the corridor. Thus, it is the inverse of speed. The CDF
chart displays the cumulative probability of a certain travel time rate value (the probability of
having travel time rate less than or equal to certain value). Figure 31 to Figure 50 show the travel
time rate CDF results for each direction of the main street segments. As a general note, the CDF
indicates a worse reliability if it is to the right and to the bottom of a plot compared to another
CDF.
Figure 31 and Figure 32 present Segment I EB travel time rate CDF based on Phase I and Phase II
analysis, respectively. It can be observed that the reliability improved for all three time periods.
The difference between Phase I and Phase II is that the improvements according to Phase II
analysis were not as significant as according to Phase I analysis. Phase II is more dependable for
reliability analysis.

Figure 46: Segment IV WB Travel Time Rate CDF (Phase II)
The travel time rate CDF results for EB of the whole study corridor according to Phase I and Phase
II analysis are shown in Figure 47 and Figure 48, respectively. If the 80th percentile TTR is taken
as a reference, then the Phase I results shown in Figure 47 indicate deterioration of 5.1% (297 vs.
312 seconds per mile) in the AM peak, 1.9% deterioration in the midday (207 vs. 211 seconds per
mile), but 5.3% improvement in the PM (226 vs. 214 seconds per mile). According to Phase II
results, shown in Figure 48, these values are 4.5% deterioration (231 vs. 241 seconds per mile),
0% (164 seconds per mile in both cases), and 4.5% improvement (190 vs. 181 seconds per mile),
respectively. Figure 49 and Figure 50 shows the CDF results for the WB for Phase I and Phase II,
respectively. The changes in the 80th percentile TTR according to Phase I for the AM, midday,
and PM peak are 22.1% improvement (234 vs. 182 seconds per mile), 1.9% improvement (182 vs.

179 seconds per mile), and 6.8% deterioration (297 vs. 317 seconds per mile). The Phase II
analysis results, shown in Figure 50 indicate the corresponding changes for AM, MD, and PM are
4.2% improvement (159 vs. 153 seconds per mile), 7.7% improvement (156 vs. 144 seconds per
mile), and 2.8% deterioration (243 vs. 250 seconds per mile). Considering that Phase II reliability
analysis is more dependable. It can be concluded that the improvement in reliability ranges
between -2.8% and 7.7%, depending on the peak period and the direction of travel.
The 80th percentile TTRs were also calculated based on HERE data and NPMRDS data for Phase
II. The results of HERE data indicate that all the directions and time periods had improved
reliability. The improvements for EB are 4.8% (250 vs. 238 seconds per mile), 9.9% (175 vs. 158
seconds per mile), and 12.2% (183 vs. 161 seconds per mile) during AM peak, mid-day, and PM
peak, respectively. The corresponding improvements for WB are 11.8% (167 vs. 147 seconds per
mile), 18.0% (172 vs. 141 seconds per mile), and 20.1% (279 vs. 223 seconds per mile),
respectively. The results based on NPMRDS data also indicate that all the directions and time
periods had improved reliability except that there was almost no change for WB during PM peak
(270 vs. 271 seconds per mile). The improvements for EB are 3.9% (284 vs. 273 seconds per
mile), 3.7% (205 vs. 198 seconds per mile), and 5.6% (224 vs. 211 seconds per mile) during AM
peak, mid-day, and PM peak, respectively. The improvements for WB are 9.4% (191 vs. 173
seconds per mile) and 8.1% (186 vs. 171 seconds per mile) during AM peak and mid-day,
respectively.

3.4 Safety
The safety of SW 8th Street was assessed by calculating the crash rate (number of crashes per year
per mile) based on the Signal Four Analytics crash data. To get longer period of time for the after
condition, the before and after conditions of Phase I were combined with those of Phase II for
safety analysis, respectively. So there was a total of 16 months (from May 2017 to August 2017
and from June 2018 to May 2019) of crash data for the after conditions with adaptive control. The
study used a total of 3 years and 10 months (from January 2014 to March 2017 and from October
2017 to April 2018) of crash data for the before conditions (time-of-day control). It should be
pointed out that a before-after safety analysis should be based on a minimum of three years for the
before period and a minimum of three years for the after period. Thus, the presented results should
be viewed with caution and the analysis should be repeated when three year of crash data becomes
available for the after conditions. The evaluation was done first using the Naïve method. To
address biases in the evaluation, an additional method recommended in the Highway Safety
Manual (HSM) (AASHTO, 2010) was used in the evaluation. This method is referred to as the
Observational Before/After Evaluation Using Safety Performance Functions (the Empirical Bayes
Method) and is explained later in this section.
The crash rate is the frequency of crashes typically measured by the number of crashes per year
per mile. In this study, the crash rates were calculated for four time periods: the AM peak, midday
day, PM peak, and the whole day, which is indicated as “DAY” in the charts. There are two types
of results. One is the crash rate based on the total hours in each period (indicated as “Total” in the
charts), and the other is the crash rate further normalized by the hours in each peak (indicated as
“Hourly” in the charts). The hourly crash rate is the total crash rate divided by the number of
hours in that time period. Figure 51 to Figure 54 show the results. The crash rate results were
further categorized by crash types. The results are included in APPENDIX H. The discussion of
the results in Figures 51 to 54 can be considered as a Naïve evaluation since the stochastic nature
of crashes is not considered. Figure 51 and Figure 52 show the total crash rate and hourly crash
rate for the main street segments. It can be observed that both the total and hourly crash rates were
reduced for Segment ALL. While Segment I had slightly increased crash rates, Segment II, III,
and IV had reduced crash rates. In particular, Segment II had reduced crash rates for the three
Page 110
time periods by 47.7%, 59.6%, and 47.7%, respectively, and the crash rate for the whole day were
42.1% lower in the after conditions compared to the before conditions. However, it should be
mentioned that Segment II is a very short segment. Other significant improvements include
Segment III during mid-day (24.1%), and Segment IV during the PM peak (22.1%). Overall, the
whole day crash rate for Segment ALL decreased by 12.5% (from 176 to 154 crashes per mile per
year). Figure 53 and Figure 54 show the total crash rate and hourly crash rate for the cross streets.
The analysis of cross street crashes indicates that both the total and hourly crash rates increased
based on the Naive evaluation for NW 87th Avenue, NW 97th Avenue, NW 107th Avenue, and
NW 137th Avenue, respectively. However, the EB method results, discussed next, show
improvements in cross street safety.

The above discussion is based on the Naïve evaluation, as stated earlier. The Observational
Before/After evaluation using Safety Performance Functions SPFs (Empirical Bayes Method) was
also used. This method considers the stochastic nature of crashes by compensating for the
potential bias resulting from regression-to-the mean. In addition, the method accounts for the
change in traffic volumes since a change in volume is expected to result in a natural change in
crash frequency independent of any treatment. Table 14 shows the historical traffic volumes along
the study corridor collected from Florida Traffic Online Database. Table 15 shows the historical
traffic volumes along the cross streets (SW 87th Ave, SW 97th Ave, and SW 137th Ave) that were
used in the analysis.

A safety performance function (SPF) is a regression equation that is used to predict the average
crash frequency of roadway segments. Normally, SPFs are function of both geometric
characteristics and traffic volumes. An SPF can be expressed in a general model as shown in
equation (1):
SPF = �(���×��(����)�����������⋯����) (1)
Where,
SPF = Predicted average crash frequency
AADT = Average Annual Daily Traffic
α, β, ��, ��,…�� = regression coefficients
The HSM recommended calibrating and applying calibration factors for the SPFs to better
represent the local conditions in each state. Vargas et al., (2019) calibrated the SPFs models to
Florida-specific SPFs using the mean squared predicted error, Freeman-Tukey R square goodness-
of-fit, and mean absolute deviation as shown in Table 16. The Florida-specific SPFs were used in
the EB method in this study to estimate the predicted average crash frequency on SW 8th street
corridor.

The EB method uses a weight factor, which is a function of the SPF overdispersion parameter to
combine the two estimates into a weighted average. For SW 8th street study corridor, the EB
method was used to combine the observed crash frequency with the statistical model estimate in
Equation 1 using Equation (2) based on the HSM;
Page 117
��������� = � ×���������� + (1 − �) × ��������� (2)
Where:
���������= expected average crashes frequency for the study period,
� = weighted adjustment to be placed on the SPF prediction,
���������� = predicted average crash frequency predicted using SPF
��������� = observed crash frequency at the site over the study period.
The weighted adjustment factor, � is a function of the SPF’s overdispersion parameter, k, and
calculated using equation (3)
� =�
���×(��������������
����������) (3)
Where:
� = overdispersion parameter from SPF
Table 18 shows the results from applying the Empirical Bayes method for the main street. This
method shows a reduction in crash frequency of 9.73%. The EB method was also applied to
evaluate the overall impact of ASCT on the safety evaluation on cross streets during the same
before and after periods. Table 18 to Table 20 show the estimated safety effectiveness for the
crash frequency on SW 87th Avenue (11.6% improvement), SW 97th Avenue (4.05%
improvement), and SW 137th Avenue (9.74% improvement); respectively. It is shown that
particularly for the cross street analysis, there is a significant difference between the EB method
and the Naïve method in the safety estimation. The Naïve method is the simplest form of the
Before/After study as it just considered the change in crash rates in both periods and neglect all
other conditions including the stochastic nature in crashes. The results from the Naïve method
showed a slight safety deterioration on the cross streets. The EB method accounts for the increase
in volumes that result in nature change in crash frequency.

4. HYPOTHESIS TESTING RESULTS
Various hypotheses testing was conducted to test the effectiveness of the ASCT. These types of
testing are normally used to compare parameters between two conditions such as the means,
standard deviations, proportions, and data distributions. This is necessary to prove that the
difference in the parameters between the two conditions is statistically significant. For example,
the difference in the means of the data in the before and after conditions could be due to statistical
random variation in the data. Thus, hypotheses testing is conducted to ensure that this is not the
case. The results from statistical hypothesis testing were found to be consistent with the results
of the percentage change in the mean of the mobility measures reported earlier in the mobility
analysis section. This chapter presents the hypotheses and the corresponding testing results.
4.1 Main Street Mobility Hypothesis Testing
The main street mobility hypothesis testing includes the testing of travel time, time in congestion,
and delay. The null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis for each mobility measure are listed as
follows:
Travel Time:
o Null hypothesis: The mean main street route travel time without ASCT is equal to the
mean main street route travel time with ASCT.
o Alternative hypothesis: The mean main street route travel time without ASCT is greater
than the mean main street route travel time with ASCT.
Time in Congestion:
o Null hypothesis: The mean percentage of time in congestion without ASCT is equal to
the mean percentage of time in congestion with ASCT.
o Alternate hypothesis: The mean percentage of time in congestion without ASCT is less
than the percentage of time in congestion with ASCT.
Delay:
o Null hypothesis: The mean delay for the main street without ASCT is equal to the mean
delay for the major street with ASCT.
Page 121
o Alternate hypothesis: The mean delay for major movements without ASCT is greater
than the mean delay for the major street with ASCT.
For each direction and time period of Segment ALL, the means of travel time, time in congestion,
and delay were calculated by 5-minute intervals for both the before and after periods based on
three types of data (Phase I and Phase II for Wi-Fi data; Phase II only for HERE and NPMRDS
data). The paired t-test was performed for the AM peak, since the number of the 5-mintue interval
during the AM peak is less than 30, and the Z-test was performed for the midday and PM peak
periods.
Table 21 to Table 23 present the hypothesis testing results based on Wi-Fi data, HERE data, and
NPMRDS data, respectively. The column “Statistic Value” is the calculated t-test or Z-test statistic
values. The column “P Value 2-tail” is the 2-tailed test p-value, which is compared to the threshold
chosen for statistical significance (0.05) to decide if the null hypothesis is accepted or not. The
column “Equal” indicates if the null hypothesis testing is accepted (“Yes”) or rejected (“No”). The
column “Change” indicates how the measure value changes (increased or decreased) if there were
statistically significant changes between the before and after travel times. “Decreased” means the
measure value decreased and the performance was improved after applying ASCT, and on the
contrary, “Increased” means the measure value was increased.
When the travel time hypothesis testing results are compared with the travel time results shown in
APPENDIX A, it can be observed that the results based on HERE data and NPMRDS data have
statistically significant reduced travel time for all directions and time periods, and the results based
on Wi-Fi data have statistically significant changes of travel time for the following directions and
time periods:
EB during AM peak (increased, both phases)
EB during PM peak (decreased, both phases)
WB during AM peak (decreased, both phases)
WB during mid-day (decreased, Phase II only)
Page 122
It’s worth mentioning that the travel time based on Wi-Fi data show that there was increased travel
time for the EB during mid-day and WB during PM peak in Phase I, but the hypothesis testing
results show that these changes were not statistically significant.
For the time in congestion, the results based on HERE data and NPMRDS data have statistically
significant decreased time in congestion for all directions and time periods except that the decrease
of the time in congestion for the WB during AM and PM peak based on NPMRDS data was not
statistically significant. When the hypothesis testing results are compared with the results in
Section 3.2.3 based on Wi-Fi data, it can be observed that both directions and all time periods have
statistically significant reduced time in congestion in Phase I and that the increased time in
congestion for EB during mid-day and WB during PM peak in Phase II were not statistically
significant.
When the delay hypothesis testing results are compared with the delay per vehicle results provided
in APPENDIX C, it can be observed that the results based on HERE data and NPMRDS data have
statistically significant reduced delay for all directions and time periods except that reduction of
the delay for the WB during PM peak based on NPMRDS data was not statistically significant.
The comparison of the results based on Wi-Fi data shows that the delay increase is not statistically
significant for the EB during mid-day and WB during PM peak in both Phase I and Phase II.

4.5 Cross streets Delay Hypothesis Testing
To estimate the performance on cross streets (SW 87th Ave, SW 97th Ave, and SW 137th Ave), the
delay hypothesis testing was conducted for cross streets. The hypotheses are listed as follows:
Null hypothesis: The mean delay for cross street without ASCT is equal to the mean
delay for cross street with ASCT.
Alternative hypothesis: The mean delay for cross street without ASCT is greater than
the mean delay for cross street with ASCT.
For each cross street in each direction and time period, the average delay was calculated by 5-
minute intervals for both the before and after study periods. The paired t-test was performed for
the AM peak, and the Z-test was performed for middle day and PM peak. Table 24 and Table 25
present the hypothesis testing results based on Wi-Fi data and HERE data, respectively.
By comparing the testing results with the delay per vehicle results shown in APPENDIX C, it can
be observed that most of the scenarios are consistent. The testing results based on HERE data
show that all three cross streets in both directions and all three time periods have statistically
significant reduced delay except that the delay reduction for SW 137th Ave in the SB in the PM
peak was not statistically significant. The testing results based on Wi-Fi data show that the delay
per vehicle changes for SW 87th Ave and SW 97th Ave based on Wi-Fi data shown in APPENDIX
C are statistically significant except that the delay reduction of SW 87th Ave SB during mid-day
and SW 97th Ave SB AM during AM peak in Phase II was not statistically significant.

5. BENIFIT-COST ANALYSIS
An important criterion in the selection and adoption of a technology is the return on investment of
the technology. The return on investment analysis is conducted by calculating estimates of the
net present value (NPV) or benefit-cost ratio (B-C Ratio) of the analyzed solution. This involves
estimating of the present values of the current and future benefits and costs over the project’s
economic life. A discount rate is used to calculate the present values of the cash flows.
The travel time reduction for each direction and time periods according to Phase II analysis and
the corresponding hourly volume estimated based on all the volume counts were used to calculate
the saving of vehicle hours travelled (VHT) per day along both main street and cross streets. It’s
worth mentioning that the volume counts used are from the before condition of Phase II. The
saved VHT were multiplied by the number of weekdays per year (260 days) and the dollar value
($15 per vehicle-hour) to get the annual benefit. To get the total 5-year benefits, the annual benefit
was multiplied by 4.1 which is the factor value for an interest rate of 7% and project life of 5 years
to convert benefits to present worth. For the cross streets benefit, it’s further multiplied by the
number of cross streets (8 major cross streets) to get the total benefits for all cross streets. The
sum of the 5-year benefits of both main street and cross streets were divided by the total cost of
the system including one time investment in the ASCT system including hardware and software
and construction costs and recurrent operation and maintenance costs to get the B-C Ratio. Table
26 and Table 27 show the procedure of calculating the B-C Ratio based on Wi-Fi data and HERE
data, respectively. There were no NPMRDS data for cross streets, so they were not used for the
analysis. The results show that the B-C Ratios calculated based on Wi-Fi data and HERE data are
3.7 and 8.4, respectively. It can be concluded that the ASCT system is cost-effective. Please note
that although the evaluation was done to determine the impact of the installed technology, FDOT
District 6 has been effectively involved in the day-to-day management and operations of the
facility. Thus, the benefits presented in this report reflected these activities also.

6. CONCLUSION
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 6 deployed an adaptive signal control
system between SW 67th Avenue and SW 142th Avenue along SW 8th Street in Miami-Dade
County. The goal of this project was agreed on in a stakeholder workshop, as follows: “The project
goal is to improve the efficiency of SW 8th Street, between SW 142nd Avenue and SW 67th
Avenue, using sustainable signal technology to minimize congestion and increase throughput
where possible, without compromising safety for all users.”
To evaluate if the project goal has been achieved, data from multiple sources were collected and
processed to calculate the various performance measures for both after and before conditions.
These performance measures can prove the effectiveness of the adaptive signal control system in
terms of mobility, reliability, and safety.
This report presents the results of the evaluation of an adaptive signal control system deployed by
the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 6 between SW 67th Avenue and SW
142nd Avenue along SW 8th Street in Miami-Dade County. Data from multiple sources were
collected and processed to determine the impacts of deployments on various performance
measures. Three sources of travel time estimates were utilized to assess the mobility performance:
Wi-Fi reader data and two third-party-based travel time data, which are HERE and the National
Performance Management Research Data Set (NPMRDS) data. All three data sources show a
decrease in travel time on the main street and cross street. For the main street on the whole
segment, the evaluation based on HERE data showed the highest improvement ranging from 7.3%
to 20.2%, depending on the direction of travel and the peak period with a median improvement of
12.5%. The corresponding values based on the NPMRDS was a range of improvement between
1.9% and 7.9%, with a median of 5.85%. The evaluation based on the Wi-Fi data showed a range
of improvement between -3.4% and 8.3%, with a median value of 3.65%. The only negative
impact value obtained in the evaluation was the -3.4% for the eastbound direction in the AM peak.
This small change is acceptable considering the improvements in other movement performance
and the increase in throughput, as described below. In terms of total delay in veh-hr aggregated
Page 133
over the whole day, the improvements were 4.3%, 24.2%, and 6.9% based on the Wi-Fi data,
HERE, and NPMRDS, with an average of 11.8% among the three data sources.
The analysis showed significant improvements in cross street delays in terms of veh-hr. When
considering both directions of the cross streets and aggregating overall periods of the day, the
analysis based on Wi-Fi data showed improvements of 20.6% and 9.8% for SW 87th Avenue and
SW 97th Avenue, respectively. The analysis based on HERE data showed improvements of 23.5%,
15.4%, and 17.2% for SW 87th Avenue, SW 97th Avenue, and SW 137th Avenue, respectively.
The Wi-Fi data for SW 137th Avenue had quality issues that prevented it from being used in the
analysis. Data from the NPMRDS are not available for the evaluated cross streets since they are
not on the National Highway System.
In general, the evaluation showed a reduction in the percentage of time in congestion on the
corridor. In addition, the throughput analysis indicates that there is an increase in the throughput
of the system by an average of about 5% to 6%.
For safety analysis, this study utilized the Observational Before/After Evaluation using Safety
Performance Functions (the Empirical Bayes Method) recommended in the Highway Safety
Manual (HSM). This method showed a reduction in crash frequency on the main street by 9.73%.
For the cross streets, the estimated reductions in the crash frequency were 11.6%, 4.05%, and
9.74% for SW 87th Avenue, SW 97th Avenue, and SW 137th Avenue; respectively.
While reliability analysis results based on Wi-Fi data showed that there was no significant change
in the reliability of the main street, the 80th percentile TTR results based on HERE data and
NPMRDS data showed that the reliability improvement were between 4.8% and 20.1% (HERE
data) and between 3.7% and 9.4% (NPMRDS data). In addition, there were significant reliability
improvements for both directions of the evaluated cross streets based on Wi-Fi data.
Various hypothesis testing was also conducted to verify the effectiveness of the ASCT, considering
the stochasticity of the measured variables. The hypothesis testing results were found to be
consistent with the findings mentioned above. A return on investment analysis was also conducted

by calculating the benefit-cost ratio (B-C Ratio) for 5-year project life. The results show that the
B-C Ratios calculated based on Wi-Fi data and HERE data are 3.7 and 8.4, respectively. It’s worth
noting that the benefits include the operational benefits only. If the safety benefits were included,
the B-C Ratio would be even higher. The safety benefits will be added when three year of crash
data becomes available for the after conditions.
Based on the evaluation results presented in this report, it can be concluded that the goal of the
project was fulfilled successfully.
