讲座内容:

 The importance of effective urban traffic signal control can never be underestimated owing to the exponentially increasing traffic demands resulted from fast economic development that has been significantly constrained by increasingly saturated space in large metropolises. In this talk I will describe recently developed traffic responsive signal control strategies for both vehicles and pedestrians based on V2X information. By adopting a novel traffic flow dynamic model we can effectively capture drivers’ responses to the duration of each relevant green period, upon which, by forecasting the traffic demands, a distributed signal control algorithm is utilized to real-time assign green periods to traffic lights in each junction. Identification of traffic congestion regions and forecasting of traffic congestions based on machine learning techniques are used, together with metaheuristic algorithms, to further reduce online computational complexity to ensure a real-time solution for a large traffic network within a distributed control framework. We have also investigated how pedestrians may affect the traffic network performance. To illustrate the effectiveness of our approaches, realistic VISSIM simulation case studies based on the traffic network in the Jurong area of Singapore have been developed. The outcomes clearly show the viability of our traffic signal control strategy.
