Abstract:The 2005 edition of "Traffic Control Systems Handbook" updates the 1996 edition (FHWA-SA-96-032). It serves as a basic reference in planning, designing and implementing traffic control systems. Specific chapters include introduction, summary of available and emerging traffic control system technology, control concepts for urban and suburban streets (traffic control parameters, descriptions of traffic control concepts and their application), a brief summary of control and management concepts for freeways, traffic detectors, local controller operation, traffic control system architectures, a brief summary of traffic control system communications, traveler information systems, the processes required for selection of a system, design and implementation, and systems management. The Handbook concludes with a discussion of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) plans and programs. The "Traffic Control Systems Handbook" references other FHWA handbooks for more detailed information on freeway management, communications, and traffic detectors.
