【 摘 要 】
Due to oversaturated traffic condition, few models are capable of describing the complexity and control strategies are difficult to design. This article proposes an arterial coordination control for unsaturated and oversaturated traffic condition via discretization analysis model. The Robertson discrete formula is introduced to describe the discrete relationship between the upstream and downstream flow. The downstream vehicle arrival rate satisfies the cyclical relationship when the turning traffic flow is low. On this basis, the traffic parameters of the upstream and downstream can be calculated by the `look-up table' method instead of the `recursion' method in using the periodic array to save the intermediate variables in the model. As a result, the computation time significantly decreases. For unsaturated situation, delays are accumulated in each time period and reduced through adjusting offsets. For oversaturated traffic condition caused by lane occupancy accidents, green time is optimized by genetic algorithm after the road capacity decline is estimated. Simulation experimental results verify the effectiveness of the control strategies and the practicability of the proposed model.
