Many operating agencies, throughout the world, have implemented computerized, traffic adaptive, signal control systems in the last several decades. Many latest traffic signal control and management methods, currently being used, are somewhat inadequate to handle the dynamic traffic demand growths in most rural tourist attractions in the ever-changing rural environment. On the other hand, tremendous advancement has been made in the traffic control system hardware, system optimization/simulation software, local signal controller, traffic data collection, and system performance evaluation technologies to support the implementation of these advanced traffic management strategies. This paper reviews recent computerized traffic signal control system technologies, growing users’ operational needs, and implementation considerations for the increasingly critical rural traffic management. |
