SCAT, THE SYDNEY CO-ORDINATED ADAPTIVE TRAFFIC SYSTEM

The need for a dynamic urban traffic signal control system in Sydney is explained. The fully computerised scat Co- ordinated signal system is described with the system philosophy. Its benefits to Sydney over fixed time control in terms of reduced delay, reduced accidents, fuel saved and air pollution reduction are quantified (a). (TRRL)
