Traffic signal systems that respond in real-time to changes in traffic patterns are known as 'adaptive.' Adaptive traffic control systems (ATCSs) belong to the latest generation of signalized intersection control. ATCSs continuously detect vehicular traffic volume, compute 'optimal' signal timings based on this detected volume and simultaneously implement them. Reacting to these volume variations generally results in reduced delays, shorter queues and decreased travel times. The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has been planning its first implementation of an ATCS in the state for the last three years. UDOT's first goal is to install an ATCS for a set of signal-controlled intersections at a specific location in Utah. The ATCS should provide system software with algorithmic intelligence, high reliability real-time detection, reliable communications between the system's components and the database for traffic data, timings, and system effectiveness. The second, but equally important, goal of the project is to deploy a system that meets or exceeds expectations to serve as a 'showcase' for future installations.
