INCREASE IN THE CAPACITY OF TRAMS AND BUSES TO A DECENTRALIZED LSA CONTROL SYSTEM DEPENDING ON THE TRAFFIC. PHASE 1. FINAL REPORT. SUMMARY

STEIGERUNG DER LEISTUNGSFAEHIGKEIT VON STRASSENBAHNEN UND BUSSEN DURCH EIN DEZENTRALES VERKEHRSABHAENGIGES KURZFASSUNG

The aim of a study explained in detail was to solve the problem of the control of traffic lights by trams and buses by a decentralized system, for example for a model junction. Recommendations are made for achieving a control system on a through section. The tram signals its approach to the traffic lights via an aerial loop. This signal is used to prepare the control mechanism of the crossing for the arriving tram and to switch the traffic lights so that traffic turning left before the tram is allowed to move away from the tram stop. The traffic lights are then switched to green after a certain time. The arrival of the tram is then announced to the next traffic signals via an outgoing loop. Individual traffic controls the traffic lights via conventional detectors. Data are given on selection of sections and the measurements (analysis), the model junction, the transferability of the control system to the test section, additional functions, cost estimates, traffic and firms' use and the system specification.
