Abstract:

Aiming at the characteristics that the multi-target radar detectors can obtain the regional traffic performance， a signal control method at isolated intersections was r proposed based on multi-target radar data. First， according to the queue length of the detection area at the approach， a signal control strategy at isolated intersections is designed， and the signal control method is divided into two stages. Secondly， the signal control methods of the two stages are determined respectively. The first stage mainly solves the problem of conventional vehicle release， and establishes the signal phase transfer rule. The second stage mainly solves the problem of excessively long queues of vehicles at the approach and overflow of queues at the exit. The corresponding control logic rules are established. On this basis， the value and optimization method of related control parameters are determined. Finally， the actual typical intersection is taken as an example to simulate and verify the proposed signal control method. The results show that the proposed signal control method in this paper can effectively improve the operation efficiency of the intersection， the average vehicle delay is reduced by 9%， and the vehicle queue length under high traffic demand is reduced by 15.5%.
