The application of a digital computer for traffic control

The use of digital computers in traffic is becoming more common, after years of experimentation and promise. Both the theoretical requirements of such systems and a description of the physical and programming characteristics of systems in operation in several locations in the United States will be dealt with. The improvements in traffic flow and the managerial, manpower, and organizational requirements will be discussed. Finally, the probable short-range and long-range direction of new systems will be hypothesized.
