Traffic Signal Timing Optimization Program, Houston, TX


Brown & Gay Engineers, Inc. provided program management services and traffic signal timing optimization services to the City of Houston to develop and implement this program. Mayor Bill White authorized the notice to proceed with the program on his third day in office, in early January 2004. Traffic signal timing of the entire City was one of Mayor White's key platform issues during his campaign. This program consisted of optimizing 1,540 traffic signals along the major arterial streets in Houston in one year, by December 31, 2004.

Brown & Gay Engineers, Inc. identified candidate corridors, provided on-site staff at TranStar, provided traffic signal timing training to City staff, and optimized a portion of the signals in the program. The City of Houston conducted bi-weekly meetings to coordinate the program throughout the year.

Brown & Gay Engineers, Inc. and five other consulting companies were involved in the program, as well as City of Houston staff who also optimized a portion of the signals in the program.
