Book Description

Research was conducted to apply state-of-the-art computer technology to traffic signal control, with emphasis being placed on applications for the small or medium-size city. The most comprehensive analysis of control logic to date coupled with a synthesis of the hardware required for a real-time closed-loop digital-computer-controlled traffic signal system is presented. Utilizing the city of White Plains, N.Y. as a model, a typical computer signal system is specified, equipment is selected, and costs are estimated for its 116 signalized intersections.
