Operating agencies, throughout the world, have implemented computerized, traffic adaptive, signal control systems. Many latest methods, currently being used, are somewhat inadequate to handle the dynamic traffic demand growths in most rural tourist attractions in the ever-changing rural environment. On the other hand, tremendous advancement has been made in the traffic control system hardware, system optimization/simulation software, local signal controller, traffic data collection, and system performance evaluation technologies to support the implementation of these advanced traffic management strategies. This paper reviews recent computerized traffic signal control technologies, growing users' operational needs, and implementation considerations for satisfying the critical traffic management.
