Signal Design & Operations
At Civotec, our Signal Design & Operations services focus on optimizing intersection performance and enhancing roadway safety through data-driven signal planning and timing strategies. We design and analyze traffic signals for both isolated intersections and coordinated corridor systems, ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal standards.
Traffic Signal Timing Plans
We develop signal timing plans that optimize intersection efficiency and safety, balancing vehicle flow, pedestrian phases, and peak-hour demands. Plans are tailored to meet agency requirements and are compatible with controller software and field conditions.
Signal Interconnect & Coordination Studies
Our coordination studies analyze the timing relationships between signals along a corridor, recommending interconnect strategies—via hardwire, fiber, or wireless—to maintain consistent traffic flow and reduce stops and delays.
Synchro / SimTraffic Modeling
Using Synchro and SimTraffic, we simulate intersection and corridor performance under existing and proposed conditions. These models help visualize delays, queue lengths, and level of service, guiding design and timing improvements.
Signal System Optimization
We evaluate signal phasing, detector configurations, and timing parameters to improve system responsiveness and overall operational efficiency. Optimization reduces delays, improves safety, and supports multi-modal movement.
Corridor Progression Planning
Our team designs coordinated signal plans to enable smooth vehicle progression along corridors, particularly during peak periods. This reduces travel time, improves fuel efficiency, and enhances the commuter experience.
Our team works with municipalities, developers, and engineering firms to provide signal timing plans, phasing diagrams, coordination studies, and signal modification designs. Whether implementing new signals, retiming existing intersections, or optimizing signal networks, we deliver precise, efficient solutions that improve traffic flow and reduce delays.
In addition to analysis and design, Civotec supports signal implementation and agency coordination throughout the review and deployment process. Our team prepares controller-ready timing files, responds to agency comments, and works with field staff to ensure signal plans are accurately implemented and perform as intended. This practical, operations-focused approach helps agencies and project teams achieve reliable, long-term signal performance.
