(continued from TRIS abstract No. 394805). VADAS, Designed to be used with the video vehicle detector. (2) transport planning. TRANPLAN, a comprehensive transport planning package. MINUTP, an easy to use package of transport planning modules. TRANSTEP, a flexible package of programs suitable for the analysis of a variety of urban land use/ transport system planning issues at either the strategic or detailed planning level. ORS, a quick response transport planning package based on procedures given in system which contains the basic functions of trip generation, trip distribution (gravity model), traffic assignment (all-or- nothing minimum route), and mode choice (simplified logit model). MICROTRIPS, a comprehensive system paralleling UTPs in functional capacity. MOTORS, an integrated suite of programs for transport planning modelling. (3) transit scheduling. MICRORUCUS, a person/computer interactive system for the development of driver run assignments for surface transit. BUSDES, an aid to the design of urban bus services using interactive graphics.

PALETTE, a complete hardware/ software system for computer aided design. CEANET, a bureau computer service for civil engineering design. SAA STAN, a specially modified version of the CIE standard luminance program, developed for the design of street lighting. ROADVIEW, a program which provides perspective views as an aid to road design. (5) traffic engineering. TRANSYT/8, a microcomputer version of a program to calculate optimum timings for a network of coordinated traffic signals. SIDRA a microcomputer version of a program to calculate optimum signal timings for isolated intersections. Simset, a system suitable for the optimisation of interaction geometric and signal phasing design, and the calculation of traffic signal settings. (continued on TRIS abstract No. 394807). (TRRL)
