Signal Timing
The objective of Traffic Signal Timing is to assign the right-of-way to alternating traffic movements in such a manner to minimize the average delay to any group of vehicles or pedestrians and reduce the probability of accident producing conflicts.

Intersection
Capacity Utilization 2000
An update to the ICU and CLV intersection capacity procedures.
ICU is easier to use than the HCM methods, more precise, and
gives a single correct answer. Synchro 5 includes ICU reports as an alternative to the HCM methods.

Percentile
Delays Compared to the HCM 1997
This paper discusses some of the differences between Synchro's
Percentile Delays and the HCM methods. Included are discussions
about some of the HCM's shortcomings and also changes between
HCM 1994, 1997, and 2000.
