THEORY OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SIGNALS. FINAL REPORT

This report gives a comprehensive survey of the theory of highway traffic signals including isolated signals, one-way arterials, two-way arterials, and networks, limited, however, to the common right angle junctions. The emphasis is on the logistics of control strategies rather than recipes for implementation. It is anticipated, however, that the implementation of some of the strategies described here will give substantial reductions in delays as compared with existing procedures.
