Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to propose an optimal traffic signal control in accordance with traffic density to change every moment in traffic network. We focus on calculating optimal signaling split based on traffic volume prediction by model predictive control. Therefore, we aim the achievement of alleviation of congestion in traffic network considering actual traffic situation. Finally the achievement of the purpose is evaluated by controlling of traffic signal in numerical simulations and the relationship between green time and traffic density is examined.
