Comparative Assessment of Computer Programs for Traffic Signal Planning, Design, and Operations. Volume 1. Study Approach, Analysis, and Recommendations

摘要

The main goal of the study was to comparatively assess a group of selected computer programs for traffic signal planning, design, and operations. A comprehensive inventory was conducted and a detailed list of the currently available computer software was developed. A short description of individual software was provided, and a comparative processor software, and network software. The final recommendation of software included seven programs for isolated intersections, three preprocessor software, and five network software.
