• Abstract:
  In recent years, transportation planning has been experiencing an escalating emphasis towards increasing capacity and improving traffic management on urban streets and arterials to combat the effects of congestion. One measure which has proven to be particularly effective is the coordination of traffic signals. However, coordination efforts ; have traditionally been contained within city boundaries, with little or no communication between adjacent jurisdictions. This study details efforts to obtain regional coordination through the cooperative effort of five cities, the county, the state, and a regional funding agency. A traffic signal coordination project incorporating a forty intersection expanse of a major arterial (Katella Avenue in the City of Anaheim, CA) is documented from concept to implementation. Of particular interest are the financial, administrative, and political implications of coordination, traffic control hardware and software ; considerations, and coordinated timing plan designs and their impact on traffic flow.
