A Quick Offset Optimization Method for Traffic Signal Coordination

Article Preview

Abstract:

To develop a quick offset optimization mehtod for traffic signal coordination scheme, the calculating methods for common cycle length and green split are brought forward firstly. Based on the vehicle delay model under isolated traffic control mode, the progression factor is introduced to improve the model. Then the relationship between progression factor and offset is derived. Minimizing average vehicle delay is selected as the optimization objective, the function with simple structure between the objective and offset is developed. At last, take two adjacent signalized intersections as example, the optimizaiton method is validated and the results show that the method is effective.
