Puffin signal controlsimulationVISSIMIn the UK, the Puffin crossing has provision to extend pedestrian green time for those who take longer to cross. However, even at such a pedestrian friendly facility, the traffic signal control is usually designed to minimise vehicle delay while providing the ...
Recently the UK Department for Transport (DfT) has promoted the installation of puffin pedestrian crossings which aim to decrease ambiguity for pedestrians and vehicles at conflicts and promote greater pedestrian priority. This research looks at how people respond to different types of signalised ...
at midblocks such as HAWK and PUFFIN have been applied and proved to be able to improve pedestrian safety and avoid unnecessary delays, however, they will have difficulties to operate smoothly at intersections with high vehicle flow from multi-directions and very frequent pedestrian crossing requests...
From safety and operational perspectives, the FLC signal outperforms PUFFIN. The FLC signal implements the signal timing effectively, decreases pedestrian delay, and maintains adequate vehicle circulation. Multimodal traveler needs at a modern roundabout are satisfied in manifold ways.ReferencesSection:1. ...
