Models and Algorithms for Public Transportation Scheduling

TL;DR

The number of vehicles forced to stop at the head of the platoon as well as the number of vehicles trapped at the tail of the platoon were deter-mined and presented in a tabular form for use in the proposed traffic light coordination model.

Abstract

This book presents an arterial green-wave synchronous coordination model for bus and non-bus lanes based on platoon dispersion theory. As the traffic light at an upstream intersection change from red to green, the dispersive characteristics of these vehicles moving from upstream to the downstream were analyzed by assuming velocities of two platoon following a normal distribution pattern. The model aims at analyzing relationship between traffic flow, distance between adjacent intersections, and signaling time in order to achieve arterial green-wave synchronous coordination in both the bus and non-bus lanes. To facilitate coordination in a traffic signal control system, the number of vehicles forced to stop at the head of the platoon as well as the number of vehicles trapped at the tail of the platoon were deter-mined and presented in a tabular form for use in the proposed traffic light coordination model. Finally, a numeric computation for the coordination of successive signals is presented to illustrate the validity of the proposed model.

System-Level Optimization Model for Green-Wave Coordination Control of Urban Road Networks with Mixed Intersection Release

Relying solely on NEMA phases for urban green-wave control often restricts the feasible regions of network optimization, resulting in narrow bandwidths or unsolvable models. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a mixed-integer linear programming model for regional signal coordination based on a mixed-phase r...

Joint Optimization of CAV Trajectories and Signal Phase Control in Mixed Traffic at Signalized Intersections

Simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed joint optimization model effectively reduces delays across most movements even at low CAV penetration rates, and as the CAV penetration rate increases, consistent and more pronounced reductions in both delay and energy consumption are observed for all movements.
