This is a list of topics that would be interesting to pursue for masters thesis research.

Many of the ideas originated from the following documents:

Document 1: Evaluation of Alternative Performance Measures and rban !treet
Management Applications
Document ": #eview of Techni$ues for rban !treet Performance Measurement
Any additional topic ideas are welcome. %f any faculty& student& or professional has an
idea that they would li'e to underta'e& or have considered& as a research topic& e(mail
them to mdi)on*uidaho.edu.
Topic 1. E)plore the effect of alternative advance detection distances and access
point densities on the accuracy of the arrival flow profile for delay+$ueue
estimation. ,see page - in Document ".
Topic ". E)plore the effects and settings of saturation flow rate and turn
percentages on delay+$ueue estimation using advance detection. ,see page
- in Document ".
Topic /. E)plore the capability to estimate delay+$ueue using stop bar detection.
,see page 11 in Document ".
Topic 0. E)plore the capabilities of estimating delay+$ueue combining advance
detection and stop bar detection. %t would be best to coordinate with
Darcy 1ulloc' to augment the control laboratory setup that he has in
%ndiana. ,see page 1" in Document ".
Topic 2. 3uantify the speed measurement accuracy of video detection whose
primary purpose is traffic control. ,see page "1 in Document 1.
Topic 4. 5orrelation of intersection performance measures with system detector
location& number of lanes detected& signal timing& and traffic volume. ,see
page "6 in Document 1.
Topic 6. E)plore accuracy of newer counter classifiers for counts at stop bar. ,see
page "7 in Document 1.
Topic -. Accurate estimation of arterial travel time using bus probe data. ,see page
"4 in Document 1.
