Signal Timing Optimization Model of Urban Road Intersection Based on Multi-factor

Abstract

As the congestion point of urban road network, it is critical to keep the intersection traffic clear. The model was built targeting on decreasing vehicle delays and vehicle emissions, taking traffic queens, stopping time, road capacity and capacity utilization as verification indicators with two constraint conditions which are cycle time length and green ratio by means of genetic algorithm. And the dynamic vehicle emissions rate was taken into account. According to the data of Ke Ji Road-Feng Huinan Road intersection and Tong Yi Road-Tong De Road intersection, which show that the method is practical, and traffic queens, stopping time, vehicle delays, vehicle emissions decrease 34.03%,28.79%,48.73% and 28.04% at most, road capacity and capacity utilization increase 15.67% and 7.74% at most.
