Multiobjective Plan Selection Optimization for Traffic Responsive Control

Multiobjective Plan Selection Optimization for Traffic Responsive Control

Optimal coordination of traffic signals requires proper activation of timing plans to match current traffic conditions. One of the greatest challenges in configuring a traffic responsive plan selection control mode is how to select only n number of timing plans (restricted by traffic controller memory limitations) to address possibly all traffic conditions/ states that can be encountered in the...

Configuration Methodology for Traffic-Responsive Plan Selection: A Global Perspective

On multiobjective selection for multimodal optimization

Multiobjective selection operators are a popular and straightforward tool for preserving diversity in evolutionary optimization algorithms. One application area where diversity is essential is multimodal optimization with its goal of finding a diverse set of either globally or locally optimal solutions of a single-objective problem. We therefore investigate multiobjective selection methods that...

Environment - responsive Traffic Control

This article describes some fundamentals for an environment-responsive traffic control. It starts with a brief description of the needs to consider environmental aspects in urban traffic control, focusing on noise, particular matters (PM), and nitrogen oxides (NOx). Respective current regulations by law in Europe and Germany are explained. Comparing the regulations for the improvement of air qu...

Fuzzy Multiobjective Traffic Light Signal Optimization

Traffic congestion is a major concern for many cities throughout the world. In a general traffic light controller, the traffic lights change at a constant cycle time. Hence it does not provide an optimal solution.Many traffic light controllers in current use are based on the “time-of-the-day” scheme, which use a limited number of predetermined traffic light patterns and implement these patterns...
