PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEMS
COMPUTERIZED TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEMS ARE RECEIVING INCREASING CONSIDERATION AS A MEANS OF ALLEVIATING ROADWAY CONGESTION. MANY OF THE SYSTEMS THAT ARE BEING CONSIDERED ARE BASED ON THE USE OF A DIGITAL COMPUTER. THE INCREASED SCOPE AND COMPLEXITY OF THESE SITNAL SYSTEMS REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF SOUND SYSTEM ENGINEERING PROCESSES IF SUCCESSFUL SYSTEM OPERATION IS TO BE ACHIEVED. A SUMMARY OF THE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING PROCESS IS RELATED, AND ITS APPLICATION OT TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEMS IS EMPHASIZED. EXAMPLES ARE GIVEN THAT EXAMINE SEVERAL TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM ELEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO CONFIGURATION , RELIABILITY, AND ACCURACY. /AUTHOR/
