Abstract

A signal timing optimization approach of phase combination on PSO (particle swarm optimization) is proposed in the paper. The objective function is to minimize the number of stops at intersection by combining the less different flow ratio of two streams into a team. The method is applied at the intersection of Huangshan road and Kexue Avenue of Hefei, China. It shows the number of stops is decreased about 19.04% through this phase combination. The total delay and CO emissions are also decreased by minimizing the number of stops. The method is effective in upgrading the traffic signal control program.
