VARIABLE CYCLE SIGNAL TIMING PROGRAM. VOLUME 2. PHASE I. OPTIMIZATION OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS IN NETWORKS BY MIXED INTEGER LINEAR PROGRAMMING

The objective of the effort was to develop advanced, 'Third Generation' Traffic Control Policies as part of the Urban Traffic Control Systems (UTCS) Project. These policies are designed to be implemented on a system of urban streets by a digital computer, in real-time. Volume 2 presents two mixed-integer linear programming formulations developed to optimize cycle-based traffic signal timing patterns to service the moderate flow-regime. The more appealing formulation addresses the coupling of all control variables: split offset and cycle length.
