Adaptive traffic control technology holds great promise for reducing
congestion on U.S. arterial roadways; however, there are only a handful of
adaptive systems in operation in the U.S. Why is this? And why does the U.S. lag behind many other countries in the use of adaptive technologies? A
survey of agencies that have implemented adaptive traffic control systems
was conducted in an effort to gain a greater understanding of why use of
adaptive technology is limited in the U.S. |
