PEORIA'S TRAFFIC SIGNAL COMPUTERIZATION: A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE

The coordination and computerization of 157 signalized intersections in Peoria, Illinois, was unique in the hybrid system that was installed and the creative approach used to determine the type of control hardware required to meet the city's needs, i.e. central and/or distributed computer intelligence. The article describes how a consultant was utilized to provide technical assistance to the city. The project is a good example of a successful mix between a system designed jointly by the city and a consultant. The central computer control system, and the distributive systems are described, and the system benefits are noted. The request for bid proposals is described as well as the system funding and the implementation. System communications and the development of traffic signal timings are also described.
