Abstract

This chapter elaborates the fundamental principles of fixed traffic signal control in Switzerland. Signal control in Switzerland is usually traffic-dependent. As a matter of fact, less than 5% of the controlled intersections are fixed signals (i.e., have no traffic-dependency). Nevertheless, static traffic control considerations are still widely used as the foundation for more complex traffic-actuated control schemes. This chapter therefore focuses on the traffic control development process using fixed-time control as a base for adding traffic actuation in the next step.
