The Urban Traffic Control System (UTCS)/Bus Priority System (BPS) was developed and implemented in Washington, DC jointly under contract to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA). The functions of this system include on-street surveillance of private vehicles as well as buses, and the digital computer control of traffic signals. The specifications used in the procurement of the various subsystems have been generalized and condensed into a checklist format, and combined into a manual. This manual serves as a guide in checking equipment specifications which have been prepared, or are in the process of being prepared, for a similar traffic system.
