VARIABLE CYCLE SIGNAL TIMING PROGRAM. VOLUME 4. PREDICTION ALGORITHMS, SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS, AND LOGICAL FLOW DIAGRAMS

The objective of the effort was to develop advanced, 'Third Generation' Traffic Control Policies and part of the Urban Traffic Control Systems (UTCS) Project. These policies are designed to be implemented on a system of urban streets by a digital computer, in real-time. Volume 4 presents the formulation and evaluation of several models designed to predict approach-specific traffic volumes. Supplementary surveillance hardware requirements are estimated and detailed logical flow diagrams of the Third-Generation software are provided.
