SIGNAL PLAN DESIGN FOR COMPLEX INTERSECTIONS: A CONSTRAINT SATISFACTION PROGRAMMING APPROACH

Most computer programs developed for signal plan design cover simple intersections, assume the existence of a fixed scheduling and fail to treat complex intersections as a whole. With the development of controllers able to control real networks there is a need for controller-oriented methods which can handle complex constraints. This paper describes research on a Decision Support System, called CID, for traffic signal design for isolated intersections and arterial networks. The problems involved in designing traffic signal plans are discussed and CID's approach, based on the programming of the controller is described. For the covering abstract see IRRD 880251.
