An Algorithm for Cooperative Control of Traffic Signals and Vehicle Trajectories

Traffic flow management at signalized intersections is one of the most important problems in transportation systems. In this study, a cooperative control method of traffic signals and vehicle trajectories at an intersection is presented. Within the framework of the proposed method, traffic light signals are controlled using an adaptive control method based on a deterministic model for predicting the movement of vehicles. A two-stage algorithm for constructing trajectories is used to control the trajectories of vehicles at intersections. The results of experimental studies of the proposed cooperative control method in the SUMO simulation environment demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
