Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the traditional algorithm (Circle->Phase) in the traffic-control system. And we propose a new algorithm that is proved better than the former one. By traffic flow simulation using advanced TSIS software, we get statistic data to analyze the characteristic of downstream traffic flow (DTF). Based on the mathematic model of DTF, we bring forward an algorithm to quickly decide the phase length and circle length. The algorithm adopts the real-time information according to required flow with the aim of minimizing the surplus time in each phase. It can adapt to any kind of traffic flow and has a high degree of flexibility.
