摘要
This paper concentrates on a simple description of what is meant by signal control, the difference between ″old″ and ″new″ systems, and the effectiveness of the newer systems. With regard to effectiveness, studies have found street performance to be improved by approximately 10 to 25 percent with perhaps 15 percent being the average. Using conservative assumptions, the cost-effectiveness analyses indicates a 5 to 1 payback in one year and over 25 to 1 for the system life. A further extrapolation of data indicates a nationwide potential savings of over 375 million gallons of fuel per year and motorist delay reduction in excess of 624 million gallons.
