The first was a field experimental study. By using a cine camera, the traffic demands and the operating characteristics of the intersection were obtained,  The second part was the development of a computer simulation model. The program was written macroscopically using the cycle length as the  scanning period. The optimum cycle length was found through simulation after the validation of the model by field data. It was determined that 145 sec and 175 sec would be the most suitable cycle lengths for the  morning and the evening peak traffic periods, respectively. The optimum signal setting would reduce the average vehicular delay from that produced by the police-controlled, long-cycle length operation ordinarily used  during the peak-hour periods. 0aTraffic signs and signalsxBangkok 0aRoadsxBangkokxInterchanges and intersections1 aJones, John Hugh, eChairperson1 aDrew, Donald R., eExamination Committee1 aSharif, M.
