Streszczenie: Praca opisuje pomysł na system zarządzania ruchem pojazdów w dużej skali (np. miasta wielkości Warszawy i większe) bazujący na zastosowaniu symulacji komputerowej w modelu mikroskopowym, metaheurystyk (np. algorytmów... more
In this paper, we focus on computing a consistent traffic signal configuration at each junction that optimizes multiple performance indices, i.e., multi-objective traffic signal control. The multi-objective function includes minimizing... more
In recent years, bus priority techniques for signals controlled by traffic management centers have become a viable alternative to reduce passenger delays at signalized intersections, especially in mixed traffic corridors. However, before... more

To obtain several parameters of signalized intersection, such as green time, width of Left Turn on Red (LTOR) lane, and number of lane, which comply with the specific value of degree of saturation, the manually calculation procedure with... more
This paper presents a method of addressing stochastic variation at closely spaced signalized intersections to provide secondary coordination to “minor” movements with significant traffic volumes. A neuro fuzzy signal control system was... more
Most isolated signalised intersections in the suburban area are controlled using a vehicle-actuated system due to its ability to allocate green times based on actual demand. The system use detectors that are located in travel lanes. These... more
The equations developed by Webster in his famous 1958 report[10] are still the basis of traffic signal planning today. They are being used in handbooks like the HCM and similar instruments world-wide. However, the handbook approach... more
Traffic congestion has now become a very critical issue particularly in metropolitan Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. Because of the rapid socio-economic changes and increase in population, the city expanded dynamically without any... more
This paper focuses on real-time traffic management facilitated by modern telecommunication technologies and advanced real-time optimization algorithms. The discussion begins with a recent European project that provides a real-time... more
Several factors are usually considered when recommending left-turn phasing at signalized intersections: the volume of through traffic opposing the left-turn maneuvers, the volume of left-turn traffic, the speed of the opposing traffic,... more
Different left-turn signal phasing designs have been shown to result in significant differences in traffic delay, intersection capacity, and safety level. Past studies on this matter focused mainly on phasing design at isolated... more
The design of signal timing along multiple intersections of arterial Eagle Road in Meridian Idaho was accomplished in TRANSYT-7F 11.3 and Vistro 2.0. TRANSYT-7F and Vistro are traffic simulation and signal timing optimization programs.... more
In this article, we propose a new analytical traffic flow model for traffic dynamics at signalized intersections. During each cycle, both the arrival and the departure traffic are approximated by three distinct traffic streams with... more
In most traffic signal optimization problems, pedestrian traffic at an intersection receives minor consideration compared to vehicular traffic, and usually in the form of simplis-tic and exogenous constraints (e.g., minimum green time).... more
The paper presents results of our research on application of genetic algorithms to the problem of finding good configurations of traffic signals offsets in a road network (Traffic Signal Setting problem). We tested algorithms on a large... more
Highway capacity is a scarce resource which needs to be allocated economically. Traffic control at signalized intersections involves balancing competing demands of different traffic streams for limited capacity at the intersection.... more
This paper describes a new computer method and program, MITROP (Mixed Integer TRaffic OPtimisation), which is designed to simultaneously optimize all the traffic signal control variables in a road network, including the cycle time, the... more
A methodology for obtaining a signal plan ( cycle and green times ) is formulated for a Isolated traffic signal , The plan can cover from a few hours to several days. This methodology explicitly considers the variations of traffic flows... more
Traffic congestion is a challenging problem faced in everyday life. It has multiple negative effects on average speed, overall total travel time, and fuel consumption; in addition, it is a primary cause of accidents and air pollution.... more
We propose a two-stage, on-line signal control strategy for dynamic networks using a linear decision rule (LDR) approach and a distributionally robust optimization (DRO) tech- nique. The first (off-line) stage formulates a LDR that maps... more
In this paper, we take a self-scheduling approach to solving the traffic signal control problem, where each intersection is controlled by a self-interested agent operating with a limited (fixed horizon) view of incoming traffic. Central... more
