Abstract:
The design of a look-ahead traffic-adaptive control system is as well a science as an art. Along the way compromises have to be made to end up with a workable system that is not only able to come up with good signal timings, but also to deliver them on time. We propose a taxonomy of look-ahead traffic-adaptive control algorithms based both on their underlying principles and the compromises that were made to come up with a workable, albeit less optimal system. A new hybrid algorithm is subsequently defined that combines the strengths of all current approaches and incorporates constraint programming techniques.
