This specification defines the requirements of a special-purpose diamond interchange traffic controller that will utilize less computational power than the typical mini-computer, at less cost, and yet perform the required functions. The first section presents a summary of geometric design and signalization characteristics of diamond interchanges. The second discusses system configuration alternatives. The third discusses traffic signal control programs. The fourth section descusses functional implementation requirements. The specification relates to the establishment of a real-time control system at the Western Avenue diamond interchange of the Santa Monica freeway.
