Abstract

The traditional traffic detector can only obtain detection data of the section, but the current traffic detection technology provides a better data application environment for the control of traffic signal. Based on these interval detection data, a new traffic state expression method and a new intersection phase timing method based on interval detection data are proposed. A number of experiments show that the intersections phase timing method based on interval detection data can better reduce the delay of vehicles at intersections and reduce the traffic jam at the entrance direction, and thus significantly improving the level of traffic service at intersections.
