Traffic signal timing optimisation based on genetic algorithm approach, including drivers’ routing

Ant Colony Optimization Approach for Optimizing Traffic Signal Timings

“…In that algorithm, A consists of the cycle and green timings for each junction and stage at a given road network. In order to provide the constraint of cycle time for each junction, the green timings can be distributed to the all signal stages in a road network as follows (Ceylan & Bell, 2004):…”

“…The network topology and stage configurations are given in Fig. 2a and 2b, where figures are adapted from Ceylan & Bell (2004 (Ceylan & Bell, 2004) www.intechopen.com (Ceylan & Bell, 2004) The ACORSES is performed with the following user-specified parameters. vector should be chosen according to constraints of cycle time as proposed by Baskan et al (2009).…”

“…Chiou (1999) explored a mixed search procedure to solve an area traffic control optimization problem confined to equilibrium network flows, where good local optima can be effectively found via the gradient projection method. Ceylan & Bell (2004) is proposed GA approach to solve traffic signal control and traffic assignment problem is used to tackle the optimization of signal timings with SUE link flows. The system performance index is defined as the sum of a weighted linear combination of delay and number of stops per unit time for all traffic streams.…”

Signal setting design on a road network: application of a system of models in evacuation conditions

“…Some papers report applications of genetic algorithms with no driver re-routing [27,28], other papers include driver re-routing [29,30]. Genetic algorithms are applied in order to optimize traffic signal and transit priority settings in [31].…”

A Static Traffic Assignment Model Combined with an Artificial Neural Network Delay Model

“…Other efforts include a study by Ceylan and Bell (2004) using the genetic algorithm (GA) approach to solve traffic signal control and traffic assignment problems to optimize signal timings with stochastic user equilibrium link flows for an entire network. Levinson and Kumar (1994) also developed a delay model based on Hurdle's study and estimated the cycle time and green time using the methodologies suggested by Roess et al (1998).…”
