Abstract
The control strategy examined is the cessation of regular signals during low traffic volumes, and the substitution of a flashing amber operation. A flashing operation comparative conflict study of the two types of signal operations showed that for low traffic volumes (up to 600 veh/h) a flashing operation does not bring about a deterioration of the safety level at the intersection. A quantitative evaluation of the energy consumption and the additional air pollution caused by each type of control strategy led to recommendations to include energy and environmental considerations during the decision-making process.-from Authors
