Book excerpt: The primary objective of this study was to develop criteria for the introduction of signal progression on major state-controlled signalized arterials in suburban-to-rural areas. This was accomplished by developing, validating, and implementing a two-intersection computer simulation model. The parameters of mean delay per vehicle, mean traveltime, and mean queue length were selected as criteria to measure the effectiveness of different signal settings at a downstream location. By means of regression analysis techniques, the simulated data were utilized in the development of preductive and guideline models that are directly applicable in determining "optimal" signal settings. In studying the maximum signal spacing at which the provision of progression is still beneficial, it was found that there is no clearly defined operational limit to maximum signal spacing from the available field data
