TL;DR: In this article, a dilemma-zone protection system that uses dynamic detection technology to track individual vehicles as they approach an intersection of interest is presented, where the sensors were used in real time to control the signal logic and provided green or all-red extensions when the predefined parameters of detected vehicles were met.

TL;DR: This paper presents a scalable approach for enhancing raw GPS trajectory data by snapping and routing waypoints along a user-defined target road network that may have discontinuities and missing links, thus enabling trajectory datasets to be used in conjunction with the types of non-routable road networks often employed by transportation agencies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a multi-criteria decision-support system for determining the necessity of detour operations during incident management from an overall socio-economic benefit perspective.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dilemma-zone protection system was designed using three microwave sensors to track vehicles approaching the intersection on the major approach and the data collected by these sensors were then used in real-time to control the signal logic, providing green extensions and all-red extensions when pre-defined parameters of detected vehicles are met.
