The six papers define some of the operational problems that traffic, safety, and freeway surveillance specialists must face while fulfilling their responsibilities. They include identification of the presence of data errors inherent in the operation of a computerized traffic-control system and suggested measures to minimize the effects to have an operation that is better than a pretimed system; a presentation of 2 data collection techniques that were employed to evaluate various combinations of signs to warn motorists of potentially icy bridges; a description of the installation of a series of diagrammatic signs and their effectiveness; a determination of motorists' preferences for the type of real-time information desired for route-diversion signing; preferences for the type of real-time information desired for route-diversion signing; the development of a systematic procedure for the determination of signal settings in a network; and a discussion of the theory and fundamentals of progressively timed signal systems whose objective is the achievement of maximum possible bandwidth.
