Firslly, the critical elements are selected from all the critical combinational elements to retime. Secondly, for the nodes that cannot be performed with such retiming, register sharing is implemented while the path delay is kept unchanged. The incremental algorithm can be applied with the technology mapping to minimize the critical path delay and obtain fewer registers in the re- timed circuit with the near-optimal clock period. Compared with Singh＇s incremental algorithm, experiments show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the flip-flop count by 11% and look-up table （LUT） count by 5% while improv- ing the minimum clock period by 6%. The runtime is also reduced by 9% of the design flow.展开更多

Widespread adoption of General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS), the deployment of high-fidelity bus GPS data tracking, and anonymized high-fidelity connected vehicle data from private vehicles have provided new opportunities for performance measures that can be used by both transit agencies and traffic signal system operators. This paper describes the use of trajectory-based data to develop performance measures for a BRT system in Indianapolis, Indiana. Over 3 million data records during the 3-month period between March and May 2022 are analyzed to develop visualizations and performance metrics. A methodology to estimate the average delay and schedule adherence is presented along a route comprised of 74 signals and 28 bus stations. Additionally, this research demonstrates how these performance measures can be used to evaluate dedicated and non-dedicated bus lanes with general traffic. Travel times and reliability of buses are compared with nearly 30 million private vehicle trips. Results show that median travel time for buses on dedicated bi-directional lanes is within one minute of general traffic and during peak periods the buses are often faster. Schedule adherence was observed to be more challenging, with approximately 3% of buses arriving within 1 minute on average during the 5AM hour and 5% of buses arriving 6 - 9 minutes late during the 5PM hour. The framework and performance measures presented in this research provide agencies and transportation professionals with tools to identify opportunities for adjustments and to justify investment decisions.展开更多
