This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a guideline to estimate the staffing and resource needs required to effectively operate and maintain traffic signal systems. In 2007, the NTOC Traffic Signal Report Card (TSRC) assigned a grade of D nationally to how agency programs support the efficient operation and maintenance of traffic signals (5). The D grade indicates that relative to what is considered "good practice", overwhelmingly an ad-hoc approach is taken, resulting in some positive outcomes, but generally agency programs are not as effective as they could be.

This book was released on 2015-02-23 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a guideline to estimate the staffing and resource needs required to effectively operate and maintain traffic signal systems. The results of a survey performed under this project, as well as a review of the literature and other surveys indicated that agencies achieving a high level of signal system performance do so under a wide variety of conditions such as agency size, geography, system complexity and traffic conditions that do not adhere to the typical level of documented resource requirements. Accordingly, a set of performance-based criteria were developed to define requirements. The performance-based criteria are focused on establishing realistic and concise operations objectives and performance measures.

Download or read book Traffic Signal Timing Manual written by U.s. Department of Transportation and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report serves as a comprehensive guide to traffic signal timing and documents the tasks completed in association with its development. The focus of this document is on traffic signal control principles, practices, and procedures. It describes the relationship between traffic signal timing and transportation policy and addresses maintenance and operations of traffic signals. It represents a synthesis of traffic signal timing concepts and their application and focuses on the use of detection, related timing parameters, and resulting effects to users at the intersection. It discusses advanced topics briefly to raise awareness related to their use and application. The purpose of the Signal Timing Manual is to provide direction and guidance to managers, supervisors, and practitioners based on sound practice to proactively and comprehensively improve signal timing. The outcome of properly training staff and proactively operating and maintaining traffic signals is signal timing that reduces congestion and fuel consumption ultimately improving our quality of life and the air we breathe. This manual provides an easy-to-use concise, practical and modular guide on signal timing. The elements of signal timing from policy and funding considerations to timing plan development, assessment, and maintenance are covered in the manual. The manual is the culmination of research into practices across North America and serves as a reference for a range of practitioners, from those involved in the day to day management, operation and maintenance of traffic signals to those that plan, design, operate and maintain these systems.
