Automated traffic signal performance measures (ATSPMs) have been deployed with increasing frequency. At present, the existing ATSPMs are focused on the performance of individual movements or intersections. As the number of ATSPM users has increased, a need for system-level metrics has emerged. This paper proposes a method of evaluating corridor performance at the system level using high-resolution data. The method is demonstrated for eight signalized corridors in Indiana, including 87 intersections. This method develops five subscores for the areas of communication, detection, safety, capacity allocation, and progression; these five interrelated aspects of performance are each given a category subscore based on quantitative performance measures, with scales appropriate to the context of the operation. An overall score for each corridor is determined from the lowest subscore of each of the five areas. This approach simplifies the analysis process, as opposed to examining several hundred individual movements as currently would be required using ATSPM tools that are commonly available at present. The methodology is presented as a prototype for further development and adaptation to individual agency objectives and data sources.
