A hierarchical traffic signal control of a traffic network

Yuki Shimizu, K. Naraki, Eiji Watanabe

Abstract

This paper presents a traffic signal control system and a hierarchical control algorithm of a traffic network. The traffic signal control system of the traffic congestion length is described by a linear time-varying discrete dynamic system in the traffic network. The hierarchical control algorithm using the priority control concept is presented and simulated at twelve signalized intersections of the traffic network. The simulation results are compared with the measurement data.
