Abstract

The British MOVA (Microprocessor Optimised Vehicle Actuation) system is the only widespread application of optimizing control for isolated intersections. MOVA uses three types of detectors: in-detectors, exit-detectors and out-detectors. Each detector covers only one lane. The control strategy of MOVA is a mixture of mathematical optimization and heuristic algorithms. The MOVA control uses stages and not signal groups. LHOVRA - a modern Swedish control - is a modular toolbox of traffic control functions based on the traditional Swedish signal group control. The traffic engineer decides which functions are appropriate for each specific intersection.
