Abstract

The SCOOT Urban Traffic Control system is now operating in over 130 cities worldwide. Since the first system was installed there has been a continuous program of research and development to provide new facilities to meet the requirements of the traffic manager. The latest version of SCOOT (Version 3.1) incorporates an incident detection system INGRID as well as providing a number of facilities for congestion control. This paper reports on the current program of work to enhance the current incident detection system and to provide additional facilities to manage incidents and congestion. The work is being carried out as part of the DGXIII 4th Framework project COSMOS with additional funding from the UK Department of Transport. The enhanced system is to be installed in the Kingston Borough of London where it will be tested in combination with congestion warning information provided by Variable Message Signs. (A)
