Samenvatting
During 1992 and 1993 a study was carried out in Santiago to evaluate the SCOOT system of traffic control against the fixed time plans obtained with TRANSYT over an experimental network of 34 traffic signals. This paper discusses the main methodologies considered in the study, the results obtained and the profitability indicators produced. Journey times for different vehicles and time periods are compared on 3 types of sub-network using TRANSYT and SCOOT. SCOOT was found to produce important benefits to networks while the number of public transport vehicles was low.
