Abstract
This report summarises the aspects of intersection control and the control of transit flow in the Netherlands. It describes the Dutch method of traffic control, directed to maximize the performance by ecomization of every second and priority control for specific modes of transportation. A standard, based on traffic control functions, rather than hardware conditions, developed in co- operation with the controller's industry enables a very dynamical reaction to all relevant variations in traffic demand. Research has been carned out for a systematic design of signalisation conditions.
