In recent years travelers have shown an increased interest in multi-modal transportation including transit, bike, and pedestrian modes. However, traditionally traffic signal timing has mainly focused on efficiently serving a single mode (cars). In addition, public agencies have increased their support for mass transit ridership and expansion of bicycling and walking facilities to attract more users. So, traffic signal timing strategies should consider multi-modal perspectives that may require multi-attribute approaches leading to more environmentally conscious and sustainable policies. Past research have studied various aspects of multi-modal traffic signal strategies, including the assessment of relative mode importance, and how to provide more equitable service for all modes by optimizing signal settings at intersections and along corridors. Most studies on the subject show multi-modal signal control is limited to at most two modes, and are based on traditional approaches, which are very restricting in nature compared to cycle-free strategies such as the one proposed in this study.
