Bilevel Programming for Traffic Signal Coordinated Control considering Pedestrian Crossing

CoSign: A Fictitious Play Algorithm for Coordinated Traffic Signal Control

The problem of finding efficient coordinated signal timing plans for a large number of traffic signals is a challenging problem because of the exponential growth in the number of joint timing plans that need to be explored as the network size grows. In this paper, we employ the game-theoretic paradigm of fictitious play to iteratively converge to a locally optimal coordinated signal timing plan...

Coordinated look-ahead scheduling for real-time traffic signal control

We take an agent-based approach to real-time traffic signal control based on coordinated look-ahead scheduling. At each decision point, each agent constructs a schedule that optimizes movement of the currently approaching traffic through its intersection. For strengthening its local view, each agent queries the scheduled outflows from its direct upstream neighbors to obtain an optimistic observ...

The Use of Genetic Algorithm for Traffic Light and Pedestrian Crossing Control

We apply the genetic algorithm technology in the traffic control system and pedestrian crossing to provide intelligent green interval responses based on dynamic traffic load inputs, thereby overcoming the inefficiencies of the conventional traffic controllers. We apply such technology to a four-way, two-lane junction based on two sets of parameters: vehicles and pedestrians queues behind a red ...

Simulated Annealing Approach for Solving Bilevel Programming Problem

Bilevel programming, a tool for modeling decentralized decision problems, consists of the objective of the leader at its first level and that of the follower at the second level. Bilevel programming has been proved to be an Np-hard problem. Numerous algorithms have been developed for solving bilevel programming problems. These algorithms lack the required efficiency for solving a real problem. ...
