Monitoring of Traffic Signal System's Performance and Reliability Based on the Data from ATMS.Now Signal System Central Software

The monitoring of traffic signal systems can be of great importance for identifying problems, self-assessment, budgeting, creating the strategy for future steps, etc. Monitoring procedure was developed through a set of dashboards with relevant signal performance and reliability measures. The dashboards were created to reflect performance and reliability of a specific signal system on a weekly or monthly level. The author used data from ATMS.now signal system central software to illustrate how similar dashboards could be developed from any central software to enable operators to promptly and efficiently monitor various parameters of traffic signals. The main outcome of the study is a pair of Excel dashboards accompanied with appropriate user manual. The dashboards represent the tool for monitoring which can be helpful in the process of evaluation for traffic signal systems.
