摘要：	Evaluating traffic control systems using hardware-in-the-loop simulations (HILS) can be labor intensive. To facilitate this process, tools have been developed for utilizing HILS efficiently and effectively. A Windows-based software was developed to seamlessly execute batch runs, extract user specified output data in a useful format, and monitor time lags in controller and simulation operations. Statistical techniques, using the output data were identified and tailored to the evaluation of traffic control systems across time and space. To ensure that HILS is applied appropriately, HILS application guidelines were identified to aid users in determining when HILS should be employed to evaluate a traffic control system. Program documentation and case studies are included to aid traffic engineers, transportation professionals, undergraduate students, and graduate students. / NOTE: Final rept.
