Road Traffic Coordinated Actuated Signal Control: Global Practices examines the major principles and distinct practices on signal control systems tailored to unique traffic network and intersection design around the world. The book shows how multimodal traffic is handled at signalized intersections and arterials, addressing the expected changes and requirements on all transport modes due to the emerging connected and automated vehicle technologies. A valuable reference in countries where fixed-time control is still predominant, this book will serve as a comprehensive practical reference for practitioners and classroom teaching.
