Abstract:

Researchers in the traffic control field have invested extensive efforts in the development of adaptive control software (ACS) over the last few decades. This adaptive control software is based on applying specific proprietary software to a signal control systems since it can model and track individual vehicles on a second-by-second basis. ACS is not bound by traditional control parameters such as cycles, splits, and offsets. Rather, ACS optimizes green duration and phase sequencing in real time, providing the most optimal control of traffic signals.
