From a drivers point of view the purpose of the sand is more important than the conductivity.
Sand = safer braking in low-adhesion conditions. But too much of it can wreak havoc on the signalling system. We’re studying conductive sand alternatives that can maintain strong electrical contact at all times. More in the new Research Highlights: https://bit.ly/3S2ulia

I’m excited to share that my research work – "Assessing Impacts of Traffic Signal Countdown Timers on Safety and Efficiency of Car-Truck Mixed Traffic" has been selected for presentation at the Transportation Research Board (TRB) 2025 Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.! Thanks to my advisor Chris Lee for his support throughout the process. The study assessed the impact of Traffic Signal Countdown Timers (TSCT) on safety and efficiency at signalized intersections on Huron Church Road, Windsor, using Vissim simulation. Four scenarios were tested: no-timer, Green Signal Countdown Timer (GSCT), Red Signal Countdown Timer (RSCT), and their combination (GSCT+RSCT). The combined timer was the most effective, reducing crash risk and increasing speed. GSCT enhanced speed near the stop line, while RSCT led to smoother deceleration. TSCT influenced cars and trucks differently, with cars seeing more safety benefits and trucks experiencing greater speed gains. Overall, TSCT improved the safety and efficiency of traffic flow. This is a great opportunity to showcase my research, and I look forward to connecting with fellow researchers and professionals in the transportation field. #TRB2025 #TransportationResearchBoard #TrafficEngineering #TransportationEngineering #ResearchPresentation

What is time domain dynamic analysis? It solves for the response of a structure or material with respect to time. Take this car crash as an example. If we were to study the effects of this crash, it would be in the time domain — how does the damage increase as time goes on?
