Abstract

This paper presents new principles for managing signal-controlled intersections. By using machine learning and object detection as substitutes for point detection and offset between intersections, a controller for signal-controlled intersections has been developed using the optimization program UPPAAL. Using the micro simulation program VISSIM, the controller has been tested in four signal-controlled and coordinated intersections in the street Hobrovej in Aalborg, Denmark. The simulation shows that in comparison with the existing controller, this controller provides a reduction of between 30% and 50% in average delays, queues and number of stops. The fuel consumption and total travel time of cars in the coordinated section are reduced by about 20% in the simulation study.
