Abstract:

In order to improve the efficiency of traffic signal control for an over-saturated intersection group, a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm Ⅱ(NSGA-Ⅱ)based traffic signal control optimization algorithm is proposed. The throughput maximum and average queue ratio minimum for the critical route of the intersection group are selected as the optimization objectives of the traffic signal control for the over-saturated condition. The consequences of the efficiency between traffic signal timing plans generated by the proposed algorithm and a commonly utilized signal timing optimization software Synchro are compared in a VISSIM signal control application programming interfaces(SCAPI)simulation environment by using real filed observed traffic data. The simulation results indicate that the signal timing plan generated by the proposed algorithm is more efficient in managing over-saturated flows at intersection groups, and, thus, it has the capability of optimizing signal timing under the over-saturated conditions.
