Abstract

Intersections are a vital component of the urban road network. Their use is essential for traffic efficiency and operational stability. In this paper, a dynamic control method for two-phase signal control intersection is proposed by using the intercycle flow standard deviation. This technique can dynamically assign weights to different control goals of traffic efficiency and operational stability. For intersections with large flow fluctuation amplitudes, greater weight is given to the control goal of operational stability to reduce the sensitivity of the signal control on flow fluctuation. For intersections with a small flow fluctuation amplitude, greater weight is given to the control goal of traffic efficiency to maximize the intersection throughput. Compared with the plan selection and pretimed control method, the numerical results can validate that this method has better control performance under different flow fluctuations amplitude. The fluctuation range length is significantly optimized, especially in the cases of the low and medium flow saturation conditions.
