Abstract

Vehicle traffic congestion is one of the more serious problems currently facing municipal and county administrators. This has fostered the development of a series of devices, of increasing capability, for the control of signals. The digital computer presents the first possibility for a completely automatic system that encompasses all the necessary elements of control—information gathering, decision making, execution, verification, and evaluation.Digital systems have demonstrated not only their potency as a traffic engineering tool, but also the value of improved control. These systems have also added new dimensions to the traffic engineering profession, and have placed new requirements on their administrative organizations.
