Exactly, nowhere as often as we ought to.  We mostly get away with it
because only the glaringly obvious ones get complaints, but if honest most
systems are working a few percent below optimum.

The same type of operation is in use in many places, but it requires fixed
time operation, while we use SCOOT, MOVA and VA.  Is that the way we =
should
go?  Personally I do not think so.

SCOOT and MOVA in particular do respond to the current traffic, not to =
some
single day count taken in the distant past.

This seems similar to a proposal put to me from Wales Assembly Government
for a count down timer (supplier unknown) that displayed secs until green
man appeared. They were going to trial but I don't know if it was ever =
done.
However my concern was it could only every work on a fixed time site as if
on VA, SCOOT etc how would it know when changes were going to occur and
start to time down?
