CMF / CRF Details
CMF ID: 10626
Install adaptive traffic signal control
Description: ATSC is a traffic management strategy in which traffic signal timings change, or adapt, based on observed traffic demand. These systems utilize increased detection to continually collect data on observed demand, and signal timings are then re-optimized based on current data.
Prior Condition: Intersections with Regular Traffic Signals
Category: Intersection traffic control
