Abstract :
A general description of the field test area ZELT (Zone Experimentale et Laboratoire de Trafic de Toulouse) is presented. A national laboratory devoted to the test and assessment of the different systems involved in traffic control comprises an instrumented field test area and a control center. The ZELT monitors 21 intersections on a 1000-acre (400-ha) quarter in southeast Toulouse. The laboratory is also useful for traffic data analysis and software and hardware certification. PRODYN, the French real-time traffic control algorithm, is presented and assessed. On-going and planned tests are discussed, particularly those concerning the Drive EC program.<>
