Variable Pedestrian Clearance Interval (VPCI)

Status:  Complete
Report Date:  01/15/2025

Summary:

The Variable Pedestrian Clearance Interval (VPCI) project consisted of deploying, testing, and analyzing the results of installing video at an intersection to extend the Flashing Don't Walk (FDW) interval as needed when pedestrians were still located within the crosswalk. To complete this project, the project team: • Installed pedestrian detection equipment. • Reviewed an initial round of testing data to find gaps in the system data. • Determined a new path forward after identifying the data gaps. • Tested additional pedestrian detection equipment. • Utilized ATSPM data to verify the outcome of the pilot.
