Title:	Adaptive Signal Control for Downtown Salt Lake City
Principal Investigators:	Peter Martin
University:	University of Utah
Status:	Completed
Year:	2000
Project #:	MPC-210

Abstract

As new fixed timing plans are implemented, they already begin to age and are incapable of accommodating incidents such as accidents, inclement weather or holiday fluctuations. Adaptive signal control reacts to traffic instead of assuming that everyday is the same and attempting to guess the most appropriate average signal timing for the peak periods. Adaptive signal timing can be thought of as an on-line Transyt or Synchro that optimizing coordinated signal timing based on the current traffic demand.
