The document provides guidelines and procedures for the retiming of arterial street networks, including procedures for data collection, and the types and amount of data to be collected; the analytical procedures and software packages that are available for signal retiming projects; and examples of step-by-step applications for each type of signal retiming project.
This report summarizes the methodology developed for the evaluation of excess capacity available on arterial streets and frontage roads for use during diversion of freeway traffic to alleviate recurring and non-recurring congestion. An evaluation of the IH-10/Fredericksburg Road corridor in San Antonio was performed to determine the excess capacity available for diverted traffic during the peak and off-peak periods. A simulation study was also performed to investigate the amount of diversion and its benefits to the corridor during the recurring P.M. peak hour congestion in the IH-10/Fredericksburg corridor in San Antonio. An investigation of guidelines for the use of Changeable Message Signs on arterials and past experience with their use was also performed in this study.
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.
