摘要: |
Traffic Congestion is a major problem in most urban areas throughout the world, which has arisen from an increasing number of vehicles using the existing highway network, which cannot cater for modern demand. A combination of high cost and environmental considerations has led to the rejection of major engineering construction as the only solution to urban transportation problems and to the development of controlling movement of vehicles in urban areas. This paper discusses one of the Solutions of achieving improved network management is through the use of Urban Traffic Control (UTC) systems. For the majority of UTC systems in the UK and a continuing expanding number of systems throughout the world, this is achieved through the use of the SCOOT (Split Cycle and Offset Optimization Technique) program. |
