AHB25: The Traffic Signal Systems Committee

Welcome

Welcome to the web site of the Traffic Signal Systems Committee (TSSC), a technical standing committee AHB25 (previously A3A18) of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) of the National Academies. TSSC is concerned with provision of the safe and efficient movement of people and goods on surface streets through the use of traffic management systems.

The Traffic Signal Systems Committee membership is listed on the Membership page. Anyone interested in Traffic Signal Systems is welcome to become a Friend of the Committee. You can sign up on the Membership page under Contact Information/ Join Committee Friends.

Committee communication takes place primarily through our E-mail list (Listserv). Please sign up to join the list if you haven't yet done so. Members and Friends who have already signed up and do not receive e-mail from the list, please notify the Webmaster.

The scope of the Committee's activities include:

• system design, implementation, operations, and maintenance;
• development of traffic operations centers;
• development of traffic management strategies;
• integration and operational evaluation of surface street systems with freeway, traveler information, and transit systems; and
• incorporation of surface street systems into Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).

Business Meeting Agenda

Friends and Members of the Traffic Signal Systems Committee,

TRB starts in just a few days! Attached is the agenda for the Traffic Signal Systems Committee Business meeting.
Also, I have listed the paper and poster sessions, workshops, and other committee related activities. I added the time and locations (so be sure to check my work).

It looks like an exiting meeting that will be filled with many interesting discussions.
Please let me know if there are additional items we need to add to the agenda.
