    This document discusses the history and evolution of traffic signal controller standards over time, from electro-mechanical controllers in the 1940s to modern standards like NEMA TS-1 and TS-2, Type 170 and 179 controllers, and the Advanced Transportation Controller (ATC) standards. It provides timelines of key standards and describes the goals of the ATC program to develop more open, interchangeable, and flexible controller standards.

    The presentation provides an overview of the history and development of traffic signal standards including early electro-mechanical controllers and the introduction of standards like NEMA TS-1, TS-2, Type 170 and 179 controllers. It also discusses more recent standards like the Advanced Transportation Controller (ATC) and the National Transportation Communications for ITS Protocol (NTCIP).

    Early traffic controllers were electro-mechanical with no standards. NEMA introduced TS-1 and TS-2 functional specifications followed by Type 170 and 179 hardware specifications. The ATC is working to combine these competing standards while preserving the best aspects of each through open architecture, modularity and support for multiple applications.

    Some of the key goals of the ATC standards are interchangeability between manufacturers, assured sources of competitively priced controllers, better adaptability to new technologies, cost-effective modular construction, and ensuring interoperability within traffic management systems.
