      <title>THE MICROCOMPUTER IN TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/211889</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The introduction of the transistor and the chip enabled the microcomputer to be made.  The use of the microcomputer became widespread and it was found to have applications in many disciplines.  The use of the microcomputer in traffic and transport is presented: as a means for traffic control at junctions, signalizing on motorways, warning systems for icy roads or fog, and for application in traffic and transport systems.  Future applications are expected. Automated route indication and driver information systems are examples.  (TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>WHAT IS A MICROCOMPUTER?</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/211890</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The principles for the working of a microcomputer are similar to those of any other computer.  The equipment can be divided into a central processing unit, a memory and input and output modules.  With the aid of a computer program, flow charts and a computer language it is possible to solve problems in traffic and transport.  An introduction to the working of the microcomputer and its applications is presented.  (TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>STANDARDIZATION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/211892</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Standardization in computer use can prevent many problems, in particular when new computers are applied or when other personnel has to use the computer.  Up to the present time nearly every branch of the computer industry has developed its own computer language for its own computer. The user suffers from the difficulties incurred.  In traffic and transport the use of the computer can be more efficient if standardization is carried out for the different computer programs.  (TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>STANDARDIZATION OF THE REGISTRATION EQUIPMENT; RESULTS FROM TEN YEARS OF EXPERIENCE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/211893</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Dutch Ministry of Transport has in its Department of Rijkswaterstaat its own laboratory for electronic systems. The laboratory was set up in 1972 to solve problems with equipment for traffic counts and traffic registrations on a professional level.  Now twenty people are working in the laboratory for the development of a new equipment for traffic count and traffic control. In this paper emphasis is laid on the development of a new detector, the digital loop detector with the dependent data acquisition and data processing via the microcomputer.  (TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>SURVEY PROCESSING ON MICROCOMPUTERS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/211895</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Microcomputers can be useful in traffic and transport surveys.  Even if they work more slowly and have less capacity than the traditional computers, they have some typical properties which make them more applicable such as flexibility, transportability and low cost.  In this paper the microsurvey program is described which has been developed by the MVA Systematica.  The package is interactive, with questions and demands.  The five sub-programs are also given.  A list of package names with suppliers, facilities, languages, microcomputers and prices is presented.  (TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>MICROMODELS FOR PROJECT PROGNOSES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/211896</link>
      <description><![CDATA[For each bottleneck in the road system a number of solutions is possible.  But not every new bridge, or road or tunnel or roundabout is necessarily the best solution.  Before a definitive selection is considered it is necessary to determine whether the proposed solution is the most suitable one.  This can be done by traffic simulations.  The traffic behaviour in a certain region where the bottleneck is, is simulated and analyzed by a mathematical model.  This has to be done for the present road network and for the new road network in which the new connection is included.  This simulation is carried out by computers.  By means of an example of the construction of a new bridge such a simulation is discussed.  (TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>ROUTE PLANNING AND THE MICROCOMPUTER</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/211898</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Due to the increasing costs of energy and fuel the entrepeneurs of freight transport are forced to carry out efficient planning; in particular planning of itineraries. With the aid of recent scientific methods it is possible to develop computer programs by which the vehicle mileage can be decreased considerably.  By the development of the new fast computer systems these methods have been much improved during the last few years.  Because the systems have also become much cheaper more entrepeneurs are planning freight transport with the aid of the computer. In this article the route planning problem is described, and the role of the computer in solving the problem is presented.  (TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>GASGEVEN: THE SYSTEM FOR ADMINISTRATION AND INFORMATION IN REGULAR TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/211899</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In freight transport a lot of administration and information is needed by the different transport agencies concerning the number of available lorries, the amount of freight, the demand for freight, the places where the freight should be delivered etc.  Up to the present time different systems have been used for the processing of administrative data. The real transport and the connecting information supply is not sufficient.  Therefore a new information system has been developed.  The new system GASGEVEN is an integral system for regular traffic and transport based on a good working network principle and gives possibilities for further automation.  (TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>DESIGNING AND TESTING OF TRAFFIC CONTROL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/211900</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In setting up traffic control for a junction the designer should have the aim to get an optimum within certain limits regarding the safety, the traffic flow, priority and fixed time control.  General rules cannot be given.  The rules for control are mainly determined by local circumstances, policy making authorities, police considerations and the conceptions of public transport administrators.  For the design of such a traffic control the microcomputer can be a good aid, as also for the testing and evaluation of the design.  In this article an overview is given of which activities per phase should take place, how far the microcomputer can be used and which software can be used. (TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>TESTS AND EVALUATIONS WITH FLEXSYT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/211901</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The development of microcomputers makes it possible to use them where previously only bigger computers could be used. It is important that the manufacturers standardize the computer languages and operating systems.  Also in traffic control a standard regarding traffic control programs should be accepted.  An initiative for such a standardization is presented.  It is possible with FLEXSYT to test and to evaluate traffic control on the microcomputer.  (TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>MONITORING TRAFFIC CONTROL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/211902</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Equipment for traffic control has become more and more complex; on the one hand caused by the quantitative growth of the traffic streams, on the other hand caused by the increasing number of loop detection systems and the use of traffic control tactics which are highly dependent on these detection systems.  By means of this equipment other tasks are carried out such as the registering of traffic densities and allocation of priority for public transport.  The monitoring of such equipment is very labour intensive as is the processing of the collected data.  Systematic maintenance is rare and preventive maintenance of some parts of the system cannot guarantee trouble-free working of all parts of equipment.  Therefore a system has been developed for central monitoring and management of all traffic control systems in an urban area.  The set-up of this computerized system is described.

      <title>RATIONAL PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT IN URBAN AREAS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/211903</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Requirements for information to be supplied to the road administrator for rational pavement management are described.  The way in which the microcomputer or personal computer can order and make accessible this information supply is presented.  This paper is limited to the need for information on road networks in urban areas.  The information is split up as follows; highway characteristics, traffic characteristics, functional conditions and structural conditions.  (TRRL)]]></description>
