Reserve capacity is a commonly used performance indicator for a signal-controlled system that can be obtained by maximizing a common flow multiplier. Transient overloading is very common in urban signal-controlled systems in which the peak demand may last a very short period of time. The reserve capacity could be overestimated in conventional point queue modeling framework assuming infinite holding capacities along road links. More realistically, vehicles are able to be held up in the form of spatial queues and fully dissipated if sufficient green times are provided. To model the effect of physical queuing, a signalized cell transmission model (CTM) is employed and a multi-phases signal optimization algorithm is integrated for determining the reserve capacity of a linked signal system. Starts of red and green times and their durations are key decision variables. The problem is formulated as a Binary-Mix-Integer-Linear-Program (BMILP) that can be solved by standard branch-and-bound routines. Optimization heuristics are also developed to speedup the solution process. A staggered junction with short link connections is given as a numerical example for illustrations.
