Adaptive signal control system using connected vehicle data

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Conventional signal control systems use pre-determined signal timing schedules which often contribute to traffic congestion and delay. Adaptive signal control technologies adjust the traffic lights to accommodate traffic flow patterns, enable the use of maximum capacity of infrastructure and reduce costs for both motorists and operating agencies. Adaptive signal control technologies can use real time Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) data to determine the traffic volume and adjust the traffic light timing. This project aims at developing an adaptive signal control system using connected vehicle data. A primary concern regarding the deployment of such system that uses connected vehicle technology data is the degree of market penetration required for effectiveness. The design of an adaptive signal control algorithm needs to include innovative techniques to perform effectively despite the lack of data when lower number of vehicles is equipped with the
