Abstract:

An improved model-based predictive control approach integrating model-based signal control and queue spillover control is proposed in this paper, which includes three modules: model-based signal control, queue spillover identification, and spillover control to deal with the problem of traffic congestion for urban oversaturated signalized intersection. The main steps are as follows. First of all, according to the real-time traffic flow data, the green time splits for all intersections will be solved online by the model-based signal control controller whose optimization model is based on model-predictive control (MPC) strategy. Second, the queue spillover identification module will be used to detect the potential queue spillover. If potential queue spillover is detected, the spillover control module will be activated to prevent vehicles from the upstream link of the link with possible spillover from entering the downstream link to avoid traffic congestion. The experiment is performed on a simulated road network. The results verify that the proposed scheme can significantly decrease the delay which reflects the overall performance of the studied intersection.
