Arterial traffic signal coordination utilizing vehicular traffic origin-destination information

Traditional arterial traffic signal coordination methods are focused on providing uninterrupted flow along the arterial direction. This paper proposes a more versatile arterial traffic signal coordination method that can take into consideration of major turning traffic flows from and to cross streets. This new method is formulated as a mixed-integer linear program and solved by CPLEX. A case study based on AIMSUN simulation is conducted to demonstrate the proposed method´s superiority compared to Synchro and Transyt-7F.
