Abstract
A signal monitor includes an alarm function module configured to compare a plurality of input signals associated with traffic control to a set of programmable criteria associated with predetermined events, and to produce a non-critical alarm signal when at least one of the set of programmable criteria is satisfied. This non-critical alarm signal—which is associated with programmable alarm conditions that do not require that the intersection enter the 'flash' mode—is communicated to the controller, which may then log and/or transmit the non-critical alarm condition to a central station or maintenance point.
