Abstract:Traffic control signal systems are among the many tools for managing traffic congestion in urban areas. Systems that are appropriately designed and properly operated and maintained provide safety improvements, reduce travel times and vehicle operating costs, and lower fuel consumption and vehicle emissions. They will also form one of the essential components of future Intelligent Vehicle/Highway Systems aimed at addressing growing urban traffic congestion. However, many state and local governments have experienced problems in designing, operating, and maintaining their systems. Our work is consistent with studies by the Federal Highway Administration and its expert panel showing that the full benefits of the current network of traffic control signal systems are not being realized. / Conclusions.
