The rolling horizon scheme of traffic signal control

Author

Listed:
  • Newell, G. F.

Abstract

A comparison is made between the rolling horizon strategy of traffic signal control at an isolated intersection and the strategy of switching the signal when a queue vanishes. It is shown that the former strategy has some undesirable consequences.
