Abstract

In the process of collecting traffic information, traditional traffic flow control methods have some problems, such as high loss rate of sensing and detection information and long average queue length, which lead to the unsatisfactory effect of traffic control and evacuation in main roads. Therefore, based on multi-sensor information fusion technology, this study designs a new intelligent control method of traffic flow on main road. According to the multi-sensor information, the fusion algorithm and measurement equation are designed to obtain the main road traffic sensor position, vehicle linear velocity and other parameters, and update the fusion results in real time. Then, the short-term characteristics of traffic flow are used to control the appearance time of target section. Based on the ordinary differential equation, the main road traffic network is represented by intelligent directed graph, and the intelligent dredging model of urban main road traffic flow is constructed. The simulation results show that in five experimental roads, the average delay time of this method is less than 35 s, the maximum average number of stops is only 8.8, the average queue length is less than 30 m, the average travel speed is more than 25 km/h, the traffic flow per unit time is more than 250veh/10 min, and the traffic congestion index of main road is always more than 5.5. The above indexes of this method are better than those of traditional methods, which verifies that this method has better application performance.
