A comprehensive investigation of signalized diamond interchanges including the nearby signalized intersections was conducted. A summary of the principal findings is presented. The geometrics and signalization characteristics of a large representative sample of existing diamond interchanges is first discussed. Digital computer simulation models of traffic operations in diamond interchanges were developed. These models were validated against aerially-collected time-lapse photographic data. The models were used, in turn, to perform several substudies. The program culminated in the development of a second-generation computerized traffic control system on an operational interchange in the city of Los Angeles.
