Signalized information guide

The Austroads Guide to Traffic Management has 13 Parts and provides comprehensive coverage of traffic management guidance for practitioners involved in traffic engineering, road design and road safety. Part 1: Introduction to the Guide to Traffic Management introduces the discipline of traffic management and an overview of the structure and content of the Guide. It outlines the breadth of the subject, the distribution of content among the various Parts of the Guide, and the relationship with other Guides such as those for Road Design and Road Safety. Part 1 introduces traffic management in a practical context, and presents fundamental definitions, principles and objectives. It introduces functional road hierarchy as an essential concept, and outlines the basic elements of traffic management and their application. It provides an overview of how the various parts of the Guide would typically be used by a wide range of practitioners.

This manual provides guidelines and recommended practices for designing and timing traffic signals in the State of Alabama. This manual can not address or anticipate all possible field conditions that will affect a traffic signal design. It remains the ultimate responsibility of the design engineer to ensure that a signal design is appropriate for prevailing traffic and field conditions.

The paper describes the objectives, the methodology and the preliminary results of the research project “Interaction between signal settings and traffic flow patterns on road networks”, granted by the Italian Ministry of University and Research with the Fund for Investments on Basic Research (FIRB). The project joins three research units, belonging respectively to the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, the University “Roma Tre” and the Institute for Information System Analysis (IASI) of the Italian National Council of Research.

I will like to thank my supervisor, Mr Kwadwo Gyamfi Osafo-Maafo for his help both academically and morally. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Dr Nathan Amanquah for the introduction into this area of study and his inintial contributions. I will like to thank my family and all my friends who supported me morally and psychologically. Finally, I will like to thank God for his love and mercies shown. Thank you.

A traffic management (TM) strategy is a collection of traffic management measures intended to act upon a given transport situation (traffic problems, special events or transport development states). Such strategies should contain mutually supportive measures; otherwise the desired impact is not obtained and often leads to counter-productive results. This paper presents TM strategies which could be implemented in special cases of disasters. These strategies were developed as a part of a research program undertaken by the author. The required TM measures that form the TM strategies were investigated from disaster-prone or disaster affected regions of India and Germany. These derived TM strategies were developed with consideration of their impact on both areas of application-traffic demand reduction and transport supply augmentation 1.

Digital Product Simulation (DPS) created a library for the modeling of city traffic. This library is designed for the development and evaluation of control strategies, rendered possible when vehicles are able to communicate between each other and with their infrastructure. CityTraffic library allows for the implementation of control strategies by all of the players acting in an urban environment (e.g. located in vehicles, with a global server computing set points for the vehicles, or with a traffic management system setting speed limits and traffic light cycles). The library is divided in two parts, macroscopic traffic and microscopic traffic. Macroscopic components are used to describe road networks such as highways whereas microscopic components allow for modeling city traffic where interactions between vehicles and their environment are many. By using a City Traffic library, cities can decrease the number of traffic jams on their road network, and improve the overall impact of the traffic on the environment.
