About the research

This research project seeks to develop guidance on updating the Signal Timing Manual (STM) to incorporate the results of research products developed after the publication of the second edition (STM2). The research will evaluate the current manual content and structure and develop a portfolio of content centered around an updated third edition (STM3). In addition to integrating new technical content, this research will establish a roadmap for future long-term maintenance of the STM as a document to serve as a knowledge base for traffic signal timing, by investigating how the STM is currently used, identifying the audiences for the manual, and whether this user base has additional needs that can be better served with refinement of the document.
