Abstract
In urban traffic planning and management the determination of network configuration (topology and link capacities), signal setting parameters (cycle time, green times and offsets) and link flow pattern is generally required. To this aim a set of models, belonging to the family of network design models, has to be defined. In these models the path choice user behaviour has to be taken into account, in order to define the link flow pattern. The signal setting contributes to the definition of the user costs (travel and delay costs) and assumes a relevant role in the path choice. For this reason the signal setting parameters (data and variables) should be explicitly included in the model formulation.
