| Abstract | A significant portion of traffic delays in metropolitan areas are caused by poor traffic signal timing. ACS Lite, a reduced-scale version of the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Adaptive Control Software (ACS), offers small and medium-size communities a low-cost traffic control system that operates in real time, adjusting signal timing to accommodate changing traffic patterns and ease traffic congestion. ACS Lite can be used with new signals or to retrofit existing traffic signals. It is designed for closed-loop systems, providing cycle-by-cycle control. ACS Lite was developed by FHWA, in partnership with Siemens, Purdue University, and the University of Arizona. |
