Download or read book Traffic Signal Maintenance Handbook written by and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the prior edition, traffic signal technology has rapidly progressed as controllers, detection devices, communication, and monitoring systems have become more complex. Developments in traffic engineering concepts, transportation planning, signal design and standards, construction techniques, signal phase and timing (SPaT), regional coordination, asset management, work management, safety, as well as environmental and workplace laws and regulations have had a major effect on current practice. The Handbook is a straightforward reference for the practitioner that will support users in small to large departments or agencies with varying size budgets. The Handbook provides information required to set up and manage a traffic signal program compatible with available financial and technical resources as well as tools for measuring performance. This Handbook is intended primarily for an audience of signal technicians, supervisors, and maintenance operation managers who are vital to ensuring the daily reliable operation of the systems. The Handbook will also be useful for traffic engineers, traffic engineering technicians, and agency managers who seek a better understanding of the technical, logistical, organizational, and financial complexities of traffic signal maintenance.--publisher's website

Download or read book Signal Timing Improvement Practices written by Peter S. Parsonson and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to traffic engineers, public officials, and others interested in developing improved traffic signal timing procedures. Information has been assembled on traffic signal timing software, resources required for timing, procedures for single intersections and coordinated systems, pedestrian intervals, and fine- tuning solutions. Traffic engineers need to know the comparative requirements and effectiveness of alternative traffic signal timing techniques. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes these techniques, presents the general principles for application, including source material for more detailed information, and discusses the issues associated with traffic signal timing alternatives. It should be noted that, while traffic engineers frequently use standards developed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, the Federal Highway Administration, or other agencies in making engineering judgments, they are always well advised to protect themselves by carefully supporting the bases of their decisions with factual findings and documenting the reasons for the decisions.
