Multi-criteria evaluation of optimal signal strategies using traffic simulation and evolutionary algorithms

چکیده
As a result of the continuous increase of motor vehicles in city areas, sustainability of road traffic in terms of energy and emission has become, in addition to mobility, one important aspect in the planning and management of transportation. This paper introduces a computational framework to model traffic impacts and optimize traffic control measures by integrating microscopic traffic simulator with instantaneous emission model and multi-objective evolutionary algorithm. The approach is applied for evaluation and improvement of traffic management measures mainly traffic signal plans, concerning not only travel delay but also energy and environmental consequences. A case study is presented to show the Pareto frontiers estimated using different strategies, or combination of optimization objectives.
