Implementation of Proactive Traffic Signal Control System at Multiple Intersections at the Greater Houston Area

Project Summary

In Research Project 0-6920, a proactive signal control system was developed to reduce vehicle delay at signalized intersections and mitigate traffic congestion. The system utilizes CV technologies to gather precise real-time traffic information, predict traffic entering intersections through different approaches, and establish an optimal signal control algorithm to adjust traffic condition intelligently. Plus, the system can be applied for signal control of multiple intersections effectively. Simulation verified that the proactive control performs better than the reactive control and the Nash-Bargaining control., and significantly mitigated road congestion on the testbeds. This project provides opportunity to extend the proactive signal control system to more intersections in a larger network, mitigating road congestion levels and reducing vehicle emissions and fuel consumption.
