Signal Timing Process Final Report

Overview

The purpose of this report is to identify the steps that are required to time traffic signals, and to identify areas that will result in improved traffic signal timing.  These steps define a continuing process that may be manual, semi-automated, or fully automated.  In the abstract, the process is as applicable to a single isolated controller as it is to a fully integrates city-wide traffic signal system.  The process itself can be defined as a series of procedures (steps).  This report defines these procedures, identifies the inputs and outputs used by each procedure, examines the boundaries between each procedure, and identifies opportunities for improvements in the process.
