ON-LINE CALCULATION OF SIGNAL INTERSECTION PERFORMANCE. FINAL REPORT

The objective is to develop a self-optimizing traffic controller capable of changing signal control parameters in response to changing traffic conditions. The controller uses pulses from detectors to estimate traffic performance on-line and then continuously search for optimum control parameters. This project attempts to demonstrate the feasibility of on-line performance estimation for the type III detector scheme used by Caltrans for the 170 controller.
