Signal Cycle Failure Clause Samples

Signal Cycle Failure. Signal cycle failure (or overflow) is an interrupted traffic condition in which a number of queued vehicles are unable to depart because of insufficient capacity during a signal cycle. From a motorist’s point of view, cycle failure can be more easily perceived than average control delay or queue length. Signal cycle failure data were also manually collected from traffic video images. Table 9-9 shows the frequency of signal cycle failure at cross-streets. We also applied a paired t-test to compare the average frequency of signal cycle failures before and after the TSP implementation. The t ratio was 0.450, which was much smaller than the critical value of 1.962 at p=0.05. Therefore, TSP implementation did not result in significant changes in the average number of signal cycle failures. The frequency of signal cycle failures may have slightly increased or decreased, depending on flow and signal control conditions after TSP was turned on. When TSP was on, the standard deviation, maximum, and median of signal cycle failure occurrence may have increased or decreased in a narrow range. This is consistent with the cross-street queue length analysis described in Section 9.3.2.

Most of the relevant research has concentrated on system performance evaluations, with few studies emphasizing TSP operation strategies or system control optimization. This report lays out a series of theoretical and practical issues regarding TSP system control on the basis of observed field data and comprehensive analysis. Further research is desirable to improve the curre...

Signal Cycle Failure. Signal cycle failure (or overflow) is an interrupted traffic condition in which a number of queued vehicles are unable to depart because of insufficient capacity during a signal cycle. From a motorist’s point of view, cycle failure can be more easily perceived than average control delay or queue length. Signal cycle failure data were also manually collected from traffic video images. Table 8-9 shows the frequency of signal cycle failure at cross-streets on the Mondays of the two study weeks.

The t ratio was 0.044, which was much smaller than the critical value of 2.920 at p=0.05. Therefore, the change in the average number of signal cycle failures after the TSP implementation was not significant at the p=0.05 level. The frequency of signal cycle failures may have slightly increased or decreased, depending on flow and signal control conditions after TSP was enabled. When TSP was on, the standard deviation of signal cycle failures may also have increased or decreased in a narrow range. The maximum number of vehicles caught in one cycle failure may also have increased or decreased after TSP was turned on. This was consistent with the cross-street queue length analysis described in Section 8.3.2.

Related to Signal Cycle Failure

  • Equipment Failures In the event of equipment failures beyond the Administrator's control, the Administrator shall take reasonable and prompt steps to minimize service interruptions but shall have no liability with respect thereto. The Administrator shall develop and maintain a plan for recovery from equipment failures which may include contractual arrangements with appropriate parties making reasonable provision for emergency use of electronic data processing equipment to the extent appropriate equipment is available.

  • Payment Failure Any Credit Party (i) fails to pay any principal when due under this Agreement or (ii) fails to pay, within three Business Days of when due, any other amount due under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, including payments of interest, fees, reimbursements, and indemnifications;

  • Power Failure Power Failure means the failure of power or other utility service if the failure takes place off the "residence premises". But if the failure results in a loss, from a Peril Insured Against on the "residence premises", we will pay for the loss caused by that peril.

  • Epidemic Failure Warranty Supplier warrants all Products against Epidemic Failure for a period of three years after DXC’s Acceptance. Epidemic Failure means the occurrence of the same failure, defect, or non-conformity with an Order in 2% or more of Products within any three-month period.

  • Epidemic Failure Remedy If an Epidemic Failure occurs, all costs, including but not limited to, replacement Products, parts, upgrades, materials, labor, transportation and inventory replacement arising from an Epidemic Failure shall be borne by Supplier, regardless of whether DXC initiates a field stocking recall or customer-based recall or retrofit, including Products in distributor inventory and DXC’s installed base. Supplier, at its expense, will ensure that such Products, parts or upgrades have the highest shipping priority. DXC reserves the right to procure, upon terms it deems appropriate, similar products to substitute the affected Products, and Supplier shall promptly reimburse DXC for all costs, charges, prices and fees paid in purchasing the substitute products.
