Area Traffic Control System uses data from vehicle detectors and optimizes traffic signal settings in an area to reduce vehicle delays and stops. The Control System operates in real time with a capacity to calculate optimal cycle time, and feeds input to traffic signal controllers with a different set of stage timings. The Traffic Control System facilitates storing of traffic data for individual junctions over a period of days, including traffic pattern during peak hours, which enables traffic engineers to view and analyzing the same. Area Traffic Control System are designed using microprocessor based control circuits, and can be operated in various modes like Fixed Time mode, Demand Actuated Mode, Forced Flash Mode etc.
