Abstract:

A methodology to optimize the traffic signal coordination problem on an arterial network simultaneously considering delay minimization and progression bandwidth maximization criteria is presented. This approach generates a compromise solution to these two conflicting criteria and, in some cases, produces timing solutions with less delay and less bandwidth than the conventional MAXBAND solutions, although sometimes the outcome is reversed. In general, there is usually a trade-off between delay and bandwidth under the well-timed traffic signal system.
