SIGOP: TRAFFIC SIGNAL OPTIMIZATION PROGRAM SOURCE TAPE

THIS TAPE IS A SOURCE TAPE FOR THE SIGOP SIGNAL TIMING OPTIMIZATION COMPUTER PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM USES AS INPUT BASIC TRAFFIC DATA SUCH AS VOLUMES, DESIRED TRAVEL TIME, NUMBER OF LANES, SIGNAL PHASING AND A NUMBER OF FACTORS FOR EXPRESSING SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS SUCH AS TURNING MOVEMENTS, PLATOON COHERENCE, ETC. FOR EACH INPUT OR OPTIMIZATION PERIOD, THE PROGRAM COMPUTES UP TO TEN CYCLES, SLOTS AND OFFSETS FOR A GRID NETWORK OF A MAXIMUM OF 150 INTERSECTIONS. PRINT OUT INCLUDES TABULATION OF THESE CONTROL PARAMETERS AS WELL AS TIME SPACE DIAGRAMS AND RELATIVE EFFICIENCY MEASUREMENTS IN TERMS OF DELAY, NUMBER OF STOPS AND USER COST. SELECTION OF OTPIMUM CYCLE IS MADE BY COMPARISON OF EFFICIENCY CRITERIA. THE PROGRAM IS WRITTEN IN FORTRAN IV IN SIX FILES: (SIGOP. SOURCE. INPUTS, SIGOP. SOURCE. PHASES, SIGOP. SOURCE. OFFSET, SIGOP. SOURCE. OPTIMIZ, SIGOP. SOURCE. VALUAT AND SIGOP. SOURCE. OUTPUTS.
