ISO/TR 16786:2015提供了在评估信号控制方法性能时披露模拟条件和结果的指南，重点是基于交通条件建立信号计时的算法。以下是信号控制系统评估的主要目的: a） 评估算法在各种交通条件下的质量； b） 评估算法对特定应用（交叉口类型）的有效性； c） 将算法与其他现有算法或其他类型的控制系统进行公平比较； d） 客观评价信号控制系统的实施结果。 当从仿真结果中声称和/或比较信号控制系统的性能时，有必要澄清仿真条件和结果，以便第三方能够客观地判断其公平性和合理性。 ISO/TR 16786:2描述了为确保公平评估而应披露的最低必要条件，但没有描述最大可能的条件。

ISO/TR 16786:2015 provides guidelines for disclosing simulation conditions and results when evaluating the performance of signal control methods, focusing on algorithm that establishes signal timings based on traffic conditions. The following are the main aims of the evaluation of signal control systems: a) to evaluate the quality of the algorithm in various traffic conditions; b) to evaluate the validity of the algorithm for specific applications (types of intersection); c) to establish a fair comparison of the algorithm versus other existing algorithms or other types of control systems; d) to evaluate the results of the implementation of a signal control system objectively. When claiming and/or comparing the performance of signal control systems from simulation results, it is necessary to clarify simulation conditions and results so that third parties can objectively judge its fairness and reasonability. ISO/TR 16786:2 describes minimum necessary items of conditions that shall be disclosed to ensure fair evaluation and does not describe maximum possible items.
