摘要: |
The City of South Lyon recently converted the control of its signalized traffic network from optimized fixed-time control to the Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS). SCATS is an automated, real time, traffic responsive signal control strategy. Under SCATS, the timing of the signals is governed by a computer-based control logic. The system has the ability to modify signal timings on a cycle-by-cycle basis using traffic flow information collected at the intersection approach stop lines. The expected benefit from such a system comes from its ability to constantly modify signal timing patterns to most effectively accommodate changing traffic conditions. The objectives of this research study were to compare the delay at selected intersections in the City of South Lyon between the existing traffic signal timing plan and the SCAT system. |
