Application of search methods to optimization of traffic signal timings in traffic flow model in TRANSYT

摘要

TRANSYT (A Traffic Network Study Tool) is the most representative and practical simulator for the optimization of such control parameters as cycle length, split and offset in road network. The problem with TRANSYT is that the calculated solution using a hill-climbing method has not Necessarily insured the optimum value because it can be found by searching for combinations of distributed variables.
