Optimized Strategy for integrated TRAffic and TRAnsit signal Control

This paper proposes a unique and innovative approach to integrate transit signal priority control into a traffic daptive signal control strategy. The proposed strategy was named OSTRAC (Optimized Strategy for integrated TRAffic and TRAnsit signal Control). The cornerstones of OSTRAC include an online microscopic traffic flow prediction model and a Genetic Algorithm (GA) based traffic signal timing module. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to …
