Abstract
TRANSYT is an off-line computer program for determining and studying optimum fixed time, co-ordinated, traffic signal timings in any network of roads for which the average traffic flows are known. A traffic model of the network calculates a Performance Index (PI) in monetary terms, which is a weighted sum of all vehicle delay and stops. An optimising routine systematically alters signal offsets and/or allocation of green times to search for the timings which reduce the PI to a minimum value. TRANSYT is the most widely used program of its type throughout the world. This manual provides a comprehensive User Guide to the latest version of TRANSYT software suite (TRANSYT 11) issued by the Transport Research Laboratory. It incorporates and updates the contents of two earlier publications (AG28: TRANSYT/10 User Guide and RR272: The use of TRANSYT at signalised roundabouts). It has been updated to include details of the changes made since TRANSYT/10; in particular the improvements to the data-entry process - TRANSYT is now a 32-bit application running under Windows 95 or later.
