INTERSECTION CONTROL BY VEHICLE ACTUATED SIGNALS

AN ANALYSIS IS PRESENTED OF TRAFFIC CONTROL AT AN INTERSECTION WHERE THE SIGNAL PHASE VARIABLE IS CONTROLLED BY DETECTORS ACTIVATED BY VEHICLES APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION. A MATHEMATICAL MODEL DESCRIBES A TWO-WAY INTERSECTION WITH FLOW APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION FROM TWO ORTHOGONAL DIRECTIONS. THE FLOWS CONJUGATE TO THESE TWO DIRECTIONS ARE ASSUMED TO BE ZERO. THE RESULTS BASED ON THIS SIMPLIFIED MODEL PROVIDE REASONABLE STARTING POINTS FOR ANALYSES OF MORE COMPLEX INTERSECTIONS AND CONTROL DEVICES. /BPR/
