Abstract:

This article describes a novel approach whereby a network form of a linear programme defines junction turning flows. The development of traffic control from the earliest isolated signal systems is traced to the state-of-the-art dynamically responsive systems. The method, which was originally developed for optimising flows of water and electricity, used traffic detector flow measurements and known flow constraints to predict unknown flows.
