Title Signal-Coordination Improvement Strategies for Urban Traffic Networks
Author Ta-Yin Hu, Hsiu Yun Huang, Yi-Hung Hsu and Tung-Yu Wu
Summary   How to improve signal efficiency in urban traffic networks is a critical issue for the success of Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS). Based on advanced traffic surveillance and management systems, link flow data and path flow data are available to traffic management centers to design efficient signal control strategies. This research aims at designing appropriate arterials for signal coordination, and associate signal strategies for these arterials. According to different data, link-based and path-based algorithms are developed for arterial selection, and the signal optimization algorithm is based on PASSER-based algorithms. Numerical experiments on different traffic networks are conducted based on DynaTAIWAN to illustrate the algorithm developed in this research.
