This handbook, which was developed in recognition of the need for the compilation and dissemination of information on advanced traffic control systems, presents the basic principles for the planning, design, and implementation of such systems for urban streets and freeways. The presentation concept and organization of this handbook is developed from the viewpoint of systems engineering. Traffic control studies are described, and traffic control and surveillance concepts are reviewed. Hardware components are outlined, and computer concepts, and communication concepts are stated. Local and central controllers are described, as well as display, television and driver information systems. Available systems technology and candidate system definition, evaluation and implementation are also covered. The management of traffic control systems is discussed.

This report presents guidelines for the planning, design, installation, operation, and maintenance of successful systems. Numerous examples are also included in the report, along with the bibliography of basic technical references in the area of traffic control systems. The focus of the guidelines is the system process - the procedures and practices by which system success may be achieved. The guidelines do address system hardware and software, but with a procedural and management orientation. The guidelines are structured to follow the logical process of a systems life from initial planning to continuing operations and maintenance, and overall management.
