MOTION - A Developing Urban Adaptive Traffic Signal Control System

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper mainly focuses on the recent development of MOTION system. MOTION system, as a developing urban adaptive traffic signal control system, is now more and more worldwide recognized. In this paper, first the original idea of MOTION is descript. Calculation procedures of MOTION algorithm are followed. Then methods of optimization, including optimization of green split, optimization of cycle time, optimization of offset times are introduced. Platoon Model, as a vital concept in optimization of offset times, are explained in details. Multi functional levels in MOTION system including the tactical level and the operational level are introduced in figures. At last, implementation results of MOTION system in Germany are shown to prove MOTION as a very efficient method in improving urban traffic quality.
