The new integrated traffic-responsive urban corridor control strategy IN-TUC (integrated traffic-responsive urban control) is presented. IN-TUC was developed and applied to the M8 corridor network in Glasgow, Scotland, within the European Telematics Applications in Transport project Telematics Applications in Bavaria, Scotland, and Others. The aim of the strategy, which is built on the well-known methods of the automatic control and optimization theories, is to provide, at suitably defined constant control intervals, traffic-responsive settings for the various control elements included in a corridor network area. The results of the preliminary simulation investigations as well as the results of the field implementation and evaluation of the strategy seem promising both for the particular site and for integrated corridor control systems in general.
