摘要: The application of modern heuristic techniques, neural networks, simulated annealing, tabu search, and genetic algorithms for multivariate optimization is receiving increased attention compared with traditional techniques like hill climbing and gradient search. In the present research the efficiency and effectiveness of genetic algorithms are investigated for their application to the real-time optimization of traffic control signal timings and are compared with the efficiency and effectiveness of the Quasi-Newton gradient search method. The development, testing, comparison, and evaluation of these two multivariate optimization techniques for inclusion in the real-time traffic adaptive control system LOCAL model developed at the University of Pittsburgh as a part of a Federal Highway Administration contract to a consortium led by the University of Maryland are described. The measures of effectiveness used in the comparisons include optimum total stopped delay, percentage of improvement in total stopped delay, optimal phase timings, execution time, and code size. Testing and evaluation results indicate that genetic algorithms are more efficient and effective than the Quasi-Newton method for this real-time application.
