Within the broad spectrum of transportation systems management (TSM), traffic control systems play a key role in the efficient operation of urban streets and freeways. In the mid-1970s, FHWA published the original Traffic Control Systems Handbook as a compendium of available technology and practice. This revision retains much of the valuable material and basic scope of the original Handbook, but updates discussions of concepts and hardware to reflect current state of the art. Further, it is focused toward the more experienced signal and control systems designer and user, with discussions of actual experience and pitfalls. Topics addressed in the Handbook include: Available systems technology; Control concepts-urban streets; Control concepts-freeways; Detectors; Local controllers; System masters; Communications; Driver information systems; Selection of a system; Design and implementation; System management.
