Abstract
When several traffic signal-controlled intersections occur along a major traffic route, some form of co-ordination is necessary to prevent, so far as is possible, major road vehicles stopping at every intersection. Alternatively, or in addition, the signals may be co-ordinated to minimise delays to vehicles. Sometimes linking between signals is carried out to prevent queues stretching back from one intersection to the preceding signals.
