Abstract: Abstract It is well known in the field of traffic engineering that the most efficient use of the existing capacities of signal-controlled intersections can be accomplished by updating signal timing (and possibly also phase sequencing) so as to respond to the temporal variations of traffic flows. Operationally, such an adjustment of the signal settings may be performed in different ways, ranging from the simple periodic, manual updating of fixed-time control plans on the basis of merely historical information, to the full actuation of the signal, in which control decisions are linked on-line to the current (or even projected) flow conditions through the instantaneous detection of traffic volumes. A signal control system exhibiting either of the above capabilities will be referred to here as traffic-responsive, or flow-responsive, signal control, regardless of the operational mode of signal adjustment and hence of the ‘degree of reactiveness’ of the control parameters to the variations of traffic flows.
