N2  - This paper develops a series of simple relationships which may assist transport planners to appraise the energy implications of maximising vehicle progression through co-ordinated traffic signals. Relationships for fuel consumption, excess stop-go consumption and progression sequence fuel savings are discussed, together with other implications of low-energy traffic control. Problems of calibration are discussed and sensitivity analysis used to illustrate the dominance of speed change over speed-time profile (i. e. acceleration) in determining excess stop-go consumption. The dominance of the stop-go manoeuvre over delay spent in stationary idling is also illustrated.     <p>Language: en</p>
