Summary According to ITS strategies developed by MOTC, traffic control system can effectively improve intersection performance. Retiming of traffic signals is one of the more cost-effective techniques to manage congestion and safety on roads. This project refered to implemented experiences of how retiming signal improves air quality while reducing fuel consumption, decreasing traffic congestion and getting other benefits, and consider domestic developments in Advanced Traffic Management System(ATMS) and domestic traffic properties to perform the following tasks:1. Planning long term courses and training human resource in timing plan design. 2. Establishing the area coordination method for traffic signal retiming between expressway ramps and arterials in the city.3. Establishing the area coordination method for traffic signal retiming between different agencies.5. Developing the retiming handbook.
