MAXBAND has been enhanced to provide optimal traffic-signal timing plans for general grid networks, using bandwidth as the criterion. The program is user-friendly and has several new features. Grid networks as large as 20 arterials with up to 20 signalized intersections per arterial could be solved, but present specifications limit the number of signals in the network to 50 until more operational experience with the system is obtained. Phase-sequence optimization is provided together with NEMA, eight-phase numbering. MAXBAND 86 is written in FORTRAN 77. Volume 1, Summary Report, provides the basic model theory for calculating progression bandwidths in arterials. Additional material describes how the arterial model formulation is integrated into closed-network analysis using closed loop equations. An overview of MAXBAND input, operational, and output features are provided.
