Abstract

An optimal scheme for coordination of consecutive signals along arterial routes or networks, which requires a microscopic analysis of the traffic flow patterns on every link of the system, is described. Analysis of such a scheme was carried out for two-way links on a major artery in downtown Toronto. Accurate platoon profiles were obtained via the digital computer system controlling the traffic lights throughout the metropolitan area and its associated vehicle-detector system.
