摘要：	The Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS) uses a real time traffic adaptive approach to traffic control by measuring current traffic conditions and then adjusting traffic signal cycle lengths, splits and offsets. Its real-time response to changing traffic conditions ensures the most appropriate traffic signal phasing to safely direct traffic through intersections. In comparison, pretimed signal plans cannot act in real-time and are only effective when updated frequently, which at times can be cost-prohibitive. The City of White Plains installed and utilized SCATS for their Adaptive Traffic Signal Control of nine intersections along Tarrytown Road. SCATS constantly adapts to the demands of changing traffic flows and can accommodate these variations without manual intervention. Therefore, it was selected to be implemented on a busy corridor in Tarrytown Road in White Plains. Along this stretch of roadway lays many shopping centers, the Westchester County Center Theater, a busy Metro North train station and a bustling downtown retail zone. The corridor is often used as a diversion plan in case of an incident on I-287. For all these reasons, traffic can be varying and unpredictable. SCATS can adopt a strategy to clear a sudden unpredictable traffic loads such as weather changes or theater event audiences. It also monitors rapidly changing traffic conditions that can occur in normal traffic or especially when there is a breakdown, accident or roadwork or adverse weather.
