Abstract
A national highway takes on an arterial roadway role between regions. It's traffic volume of minor approach is very lower than mainline because most of the traffic of national highway consists of through traffic. This means an actuated signal operation is more efficient on the national highway than pre-timed signal. actuated signals have detections on some or all movements except the mainline. In spite of these effects have been evaluated in previous studies, widespread propagation of actuated signal operation has not made so much in Korea. Because there are so many problems to use actuated signal as it is in side of roadway facilities. In this study, improved a actuation system for the national highway and evaluated it with field implementation.
