The paper addresses a question of interest to many cities: What benefits can a city realistically expect from solving its present and future traffic problems by implementing large-scale computerized traffic and transportation control system? This question consists of two major parts: (1) What basic concepts and methods for control and automation have been proposed, developed, and implemented. (2) What experience with these concepts and methods has so far been gained in real application. The paper tries to present a consistent survey considering all modes of urban transportation in a unified manner. Part 1 analyzes the role of automation and computer control within the framework of general urban and transportation development policies. Parts 2 and 3 are dealing with the improvement of existing systems by computer control. Finally Part 4 describes the role of automation and control technologies in the creation of new modes of urban transportation.
