Abstract

The following papers are included: a local traffic control policy which automatically maximises the overall travel capacity of the urban road network (smith,mj); capacity and timing calculation methods for signalised intersections (akcelik,r); a new method of traffic responsive control of traffic signals (koshi,m); algorithms for the computer control of urban traffic (baras,js and levine,ws); assessment by observation and simulation studies of the interest of different methods of bus preemption at traffic lights (cottinet,m, amy de la breteque,l, henry,jj and gabard,f); user representatiave comments (exnicious,jr); strategic concepts in residential neighborhood traffic control (smith,dt); a systematic approach to the derivation of driver information requirements in work zones (hostetter,rs, tait,db, levine,s and crowley,kw); current research in planning work zone traffic control (haley,ce and wang,jj); advance treatment of no-passing zones for safety (weaver,gd and woods ,dl); user representative comments (kobetsky,k) (continued on irrd abstract no. 261201). (Continued from irrd abstract no. 261200) strategies and effectiveness of traffic control systems on freeways in the federal republic of germany (keller,h); self-sufficient control of speeds on freeways (zacker,h); reducing travel time by freeway ramp metering especially when peak traffic demand exceeds corridor capacity (fargier,ph, morin,jm and ducornet,d); automatic incident detection (henrikse,we, de kroes,jl and reijmers,jj); incident detection in europe (bang,kl); user representative comments (roper,dh).
