Scope

The objectives of this project is to explore various different types of interchange designs of an existing interchange. The three designs that the team will look will be the L-2 spread diamond, the L-7 two-quadrant cloverleaf, and the L-9 partial cloverleaf. With each of these designs, each design team will prepare the geometric design, drainage design, traffic signal and ramp metering signal design, construction area signage, water pollution, and traffic control design. For analysis, the technical team will perform different types of comparisons of these designs, including the existing. These forms of comparison include intersection level of service, traffic simulation along the mainline, and safety analysis for each interchange designs. Implementation of emerging transportation engineering technology using computer vision. Computer vision allows software to detect objects i.e. road stress, vehicle, or lane marking screenshots to assist engineers on analyzing objects on roadway and make decisions to report or fix potential problems without having to be at the site. Computer Vision is also an application that can be implemented for developing autonomous vehicles. Finally the technical team developed a website to document everything that was performed in the project and information about the project and team members
