Assessment of self-learning adaptive traffic signal control on congested urban areas: independent versus coordinated perspectives

In this paper, we introduce a simulation testbed framework to evaluate the performance of a self-learning adaptive traffic signal control system. The core contribution of this paper is the assessment of the system’s two modes of operations (independent versus coordinated) under different congestion levels and network configurations. The insights and conclusions of the paper are based on the synergetic effect of the following: (1) appropriate …
