The report represents the development and findings of a research project. The brief six-month research effort was directed toward several topic areas which included: development of a practical procedure which could be used to fine-tune the offsets of traffic signals to minimize total delay and maximize progression of traffic in a progression system, development of methods that can better estimate delay to travel in a nearly saturated traffic system, and development of methods to estimate fuel consumption associated with arterial travel movements in an urban network. An enhanced version of the popularly used PASSER II program - PASSER II-84, which deals with the design and operation of signalized intersections, was programmed on SDHPT's computer system. Program documentation and revised data coding instructions were also prepared.
