PASSER is the acronym for the Progression Analysis and Signal System Evaluation Routine. PASSER II was originally developed by the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) for the Dallas Corridor Project. The Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation (SDHPT) has sponsored the subsequent program development on both mainframe computers and microcomputers. The theory, model structure, methodology, and logic of PASSER II have been evaluated and well documented. PASSER II is widely used because of its ability to easily select multiple-phase sequences by adjusting the background cycle length and progression speeds to find the optimal timing plants, such as cycle, green split, phase sequence, and offsets, that can efficiently maximize the two-way progression bands.
