Adaptive Signal Coordination for Heterogeneous Traffic Using Downstream...
Real time control of heterogeneous traffic characterised by mixed vehicle type and non-lane based movement is always a challenge for efficient and effective traffic management. Adaptive traffic signal...
View ArticleCorridor-Based Coordination of Learning Agents for Traffic Signal Control by...
This paper explores a new coordination strategy for an intelligent system of cooperative reinforcement learning agents that operate the signals of a congested traffic network. The enhanced coordination...

Most signal timing design documents focus their attention on critical parameters such as cycle, offset, and splits, but provide little guidance on other coordination parameters. The choice of settings...
View ArticleSignal Progression Impacts on Transit Buses as Travel Time Probes
This paper examines the growing use of transit buses as traffic probe vehicles for obtaining arterial travel times. Such fleet vehicles inherently behave differently than the private vehicle...
View ArticlePotential for Metering to Help Roundabouts Manage Peak Period Demands in the...
Roundabouts generally provide safety and other advantages. During peak hours, however, even moderate demands on an upstream approach can result in long delays and driver frustration over downstream...
