Online Basic Introduction to Traffic Signals for SCATS based regions 

Overview

This course is designed to provide anyone whose work involves traffic modelling or traffic signal design with a basic understanding of the most important traffic signal concepts when dealing with SCATS based controllers. 


Who should attend

This course is suitable for anyone involved in traffic modelling or design and who are new to traffic signals or would like to refresh their understanding of important traffic signal concepts. It is suitable for complete beginners and no prior knowledge of traffic modelling or design of traffic signals is required. The course covers the determination of safety critical timings such as intergreens and clearnce times and looks at the both the Australian method and the method typically applied in countries like Ireland (which are different).

 


Prerequisites

This course is suitable for complete beginners and no prior knowledge is required.
