What's New
CTDOT sponsored research, “Safety Evaluation of Alternatives for Installing Pedestrian Signals Under Side Street Green” was selected as a 2024 AASHTO High-Value Research Project. The P.I., Dr. John Ivan at UCONN led the effort with support from Dr. Kai Wang, Marisa Auguste, and Olin Green. Their work showed how concurrent pedestrian phasing at intersections reduces the odds of vehicle-pedestrian conflicts and reduces wait times for pedestrians.
