• Abstract:
  The performance of signal timing plans obtained from traditional approaches for ; pre-timed (fixed-time or actuated) control systems is often unstable under fluctuating traffic ; conditions. This report develops a general approach for optimizing the timing of pre-timed ; signals along arterials under day-to-day demand variations or uncertain traffic future growth. ; Based on a cell-transmission representation of traffic dynamics, a stochastic programming model ; is formulated to determine cycle length, green splits, phase sequences and offsets to minimize the ; expected delay incurred by high-consequence scenarios of traffic demand.
