An Optimization on Traffic Signals Sequence Scheduling

Abstract:

We research the issue of traffic signals scheduling, based on the use of real-time traffic information gathered by a wireless sensor network. In this paper, an optimization on traffic signals sequence scheduling has been put forward, which can be achieved based on the instant traffic data collected in the dynamically traffic environment. Afterwards, simulations have been conducted in several scenarios, and show that the proposed approach can achieve better performance in terms of traffic throughput.
