Signal offset optimization recently has been shown to be feasible with vehicle trajectory data at low levels of market penetration. Offset optimization was performed on two corridors with that type of data. A proposed procedure called “virtual detection” was used to process 6 weeks of trajectory splines and create vehicle arrival profiles for two corridors, comprising 25 signalized intersections. After data were processed and filtered, penetration rates between 0.09% and 0.80% were observed, with variations by approach. Then those arrival profiles were compared statistically with those measured with physical detectors, and most approaches showed statistically significant goodness of fit at a 90% confidence level. Finally, the arrival profiles created with virtual detection were used to optimize offsets and compared with a solution derived from arrival profiles obtained with physical detectors. Results demonstrate that virtual detection can produce good-quality offsets with current market penetration rates of probe data. In addition, a sensitivity analysis of the sampling period indicated that 2 weeks may be sufficient for data collection at current penetration rates.
