Verkaik-Poelman, M.C. (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Model-based predictive signal control is a popular method to pro-actively control traffic and to reduce the effects of congestion in urban networks. In combination with structure-free controllers, which adapt signal settings in arbitrary order and combination (no imposed cycles), these predictive control methods have a high potential to...journal article 2023

Sheykhfard, Abbas (author), Haghighi, Farshidreza (author), Papadimitriou, E. (author), Das, Subasish (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Although signal countdown timers (SCTs) are likely to enhance efficiency at signalized intersections, there is little research on how they affect road users’ behavior. The present study explores factors associated with driver behavior through two approaches to examine how SCTs influence drivers’ actions toward pedestrians violating red lights....journal article 2023

Seminck, Isaac (author)Road users still encounter unnecessary delays due to inefficient traffic control in urban traffic networks. These delays are ever-increasing and have large environmental and economic consequences. In the Netherlands, most intersections are controlled using actuated controllers, which respond directly to the current traffic demand obtained from...master thesis 2022

Bottemanne, Max (author)Urban areas with many daily commuters often experience a reduction in traffic flow during rush hours. In some urban areas where this reduction in traffic flow occurs, there are popular destinations for leisure that have multiple large parking facilities. Vehicles searching for vacant parking spots drive at a lower vehicle speed, reducing the...master thesis 2022

Donaldson, Narayan (author)Traffic signals in a coordinated network normally use a common cycle length which remains constant at all times, including when there is a request for priority from a public transport vehicle. This enables green waves to be maintained effectively but can limit the signals' ability to promptly serve the prioritised vehicle....master thesis 2022

Harleman, Bram (author)Research has shown that GLOSA systems can help reduce the emission of $CO_2$ by motor vehicles and improve flow on urban road networks. However, existing GLOSA systems only work in combination with a limited selection of Traffic Signal Controllers (TSCs) and therefore have not been widely implemented. This research describes and evaluates the...master thesis 2021

Liu, S. Y. (author), Lin, S. (author), Wang, Y. B. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Lam, W. H.K. (author)In order to better understand the stochastic dynamic features of signalized traffic networks, we propose a Markov traffic model to simulate the dynamics of traffic link flow density for signalized urban traffic networks with demand uncertainty. In this model, we have four different state modes for the link according to different congestion...journal article 2021

Schneider, C.C.N. (author)Signalized urban intersections are bottlenecks for traffic and cause congestion. To improve traffic signal plans, research efforts have been made to create self-adaptive traffic controllers, i.e. controllers which adapt in real-time to the current traffic demand based on connected vehicle data. Past research on self-adaptive controllers has...master thesis 2020

Jansen, Cian (author)Traffic congestion is a problem of tremendous size that affects many people. Using Reinforcement Learning to find a light control policy can ease traffic congestion and decrease travel time for vehicles. This paper specifically looks at the effect of using different reward functions for training agents. We highlight how the learnabilty of a...bachelor thesis 2020

Tersmette, Pepijn (author)One of the most important bottlenecks that contributes to the congestion of traffic is nonoptimal traffic signal control. Techniques that have been investigated to optimise traffic signal control have been focused on improving the traffic flow through individual intersections. However, if intersections are optimised based on only reducing local...bachelor thesis 2020

An, Qi (author)Fixed-time control and vehicle-actuated control are two main signaling strategies implemented at intersections for urban traffic management. The timing and structure of the controllers are usually designed optimally based on average historical demand patterns at the intersection. Under the premise of performance quality assurance, both fixed...student report 2020

Liu, D. (author), Yu, Wenwu (author), Baldi, S. (author), Cao, Jinde (author), Huang, Wei (author)The work presented in this paper concerns a switching-based control formulation for multi-intersection and multiphase traffic light systems. A macroscopic traffic flow modeling approach is first presented, which is instrumental to the development of a model-based and switching-based optimization method for traffic signal operation, in the...journal article 2020

Machielsen, Martijn (author)To evaluate traffic signal controllers, and vehicle-actuated traffic signal controllers in particular, in terms of how they are performing with respect to the road authority’s policies on traffic flow and accessibility, traffic safety, and environmental factors, several methods are developed in practice. However, in scientific literature, little...master thesis 2019

Machielsen, Martijn (author)Permitted conflicts at (vehicle-actuated) signalised intersections are widely researched, though with the main focus on the traffic safety implications, because with permitted conflicts, two or more conflicting streams at a signalised intersection receive green at the same time, and thus meet at the conflict zone, as opposed to protected...student report 2019

van Gurp, Niels (author)Traffic signal controllers have been around since the late sixties of the 19th century and since then they have played an increasing role in (urban) traffic management. Over the years many different algorithms have been developed and in Dutch practice actuated control is mostly used. Actuated control and other similar approaches apply variable...master thesis 2019

Lin, S. (author), Pan, T. L. (author), Lam, W.H. (author), Zhong, R. X. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)In order to investigate the stochastic features in urban traffic dynamics, we propose a Stochastic Link Flow Model (SLFM) for signalized traffic networks with demand uncertainties. In the proposed model, the link traffic state is described using four different link state modes, and the probability for each link state mode is determined based...journal article 2018

Anema, F.J.C. (author)The topic of this study is the control of signalized intersections, specifically the control of switching lanes, which are approach lanes of which the traffic assignment can be changed. When the demand at an intersection varies considerably, being able to change the lane configuration can reduce delay, especially in saturated conditions....master thesis 2015

Taale, H. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Legius, P. (author)For some on-ramps, which cause congestion on the motorway, it is not possible to install a ramp metering system for geometric or other reasons. But sometimes it is possible to meter traffic with the traffic lights of nearby intersections in such a way that the situation on the motorway improves and on the urban network the situation does not get...journal article 2015

Van Kampen, J.J.L. (author)Bad traffic conditions can be improved by regulating traffic demand and network capacity. Dynamic Traffic Management (DTM) systems allocate temporal and spatial utilization of infrastructures and vehicle fleets by means of dynamic signals. By timely response to changing traffic conditions DTM goals, in terms of effective, safe and reliable use...master thesis 2015

Apostola, T. (author)This thesis proposes a traffic signal optimization method for balancing the interests of cyclists and motorized traffic. Traditionally, in bicycle traffic has not been given the same priority as motorized traffic in the signalization system planning. As a consequence, cyclists have to stop many times during their journey, which leads to a waste...master thesis 2014
