Abstract
Signal synchronization is an important countermeasure to improve efficiency and relieve congestion for urban arterials. Scientifically evaluating the effects is the foundation for signal synchronization optimization. A signal synchronization evaluation and optimization model is proposed based on delay and queue length assessment at arterial intersections. With traffic wave theory, taking intersections’ phase and sequence, split, movement, link length and offset into considerations, the model can simulate the evolution of queue endpoint phase by phase, and get a polygon which can be used to calculate the control delay. The case study indicated that the model can accurately designate the influence of variable signal coordination parameters, and can be used to arterial signal synchronization appraisal and optimization.
