With the availability of faster computers and communications systems in the traffic control environment and more reliable monitoring and control hardware, better real-time control of traffic should be possible. The intelligent vehicle-highway system program now being proposed and implemented by transportation agencies. practitioners, and researchers will (a) need better realtime control methods...

The inclusion of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is necessary for the realistic simulation of data networks. However, the operation of HTTP-TCP sources puts a heavy tax on the simulations leading to two major scalability problems: the computing resources required by each source put a limit on the total number of sources that can be simulated, and the number of events generated by every simu...

Today, modern traffic control systems are necessary to obtain maximum efficiency from the highway system. For the traffic controller to respond to the needs of traffic, it must be able to sense traffic conditions at all times with reasonable accuracy. This vehicledetection requirement has resulted in extensive research and development of vehicular-detection systems. Because of its performance r...

Revisit several existing traffic control algorithms and analyze their efficiency. Simplify the traffic model for better understanding of efficiency. Every vehicle travels eastward or southward only. Result: Efficiency largely depends on the length of a longest route and the number of cars.
