Abstract |
|
|
| In transportation networks, traffic conditions are often in an oversaturated state. In this case, by coordinating the signal
timing at multiple intersections to improve the significant road bottleneck capacity is necessary. Urban roads have entry capacity and
exit capacity affected by the signal timing at intersections and properties of left-turn lanes and straight lanes of roads. With the help of
the discrete-time model, road entry capacity and exit capacity are formulated, and then the bottleneck road capacity under oversaturation
conditions can be determined. Based on which, the objective function is to improve the significant bottleneck capacities and throughput
of vehicles entering and leaving a special transportation network by using effective green times at multiple intersections as the decision
variables, through applying the Ant Colony Algorithm to find an optimal signal-timing plan. The results of numerical example indicate
this approach to optimizing the signal timing of multiple intersections is feasible and effective. |
