Despite traffic circles, four-way stop signs, lights regulated by timers or sensors, and other methods, the management of urban intersections remains problematic. Consider that transportation systems have all the features of so-called complex systems: the great number of state and control variables, the presence of uncertainty and indeterminism, th

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 document describes the Traffic Adaptive Network Signal Timing Program (TANSTP) of the Urban Traffic Control System. TANSTP is a second generation traffic control package wherein optimal traffic signal timing patterns are generated on-line as a function of current and predicted traffic flow conditions to minimize average network vehicle delay. In addition to the network optimization routine, the package includes a traffic flow predictor, real-time subnetwork determination routine, a subnetwork interfacing routine, a transition optimization routine, and a local intersection optimization routine which adjusts splits and offsets to minimize delay on a cycle by cycle basis.
