Background
With the increasing of the automobile reserves in China, the phenomenon of traffic jam is increased continuously, and the intersection is a bottleneck zone of traffic jam, so that the improvement of the traffic capacity of the intersection is a key for relieving the traffic jam. The signal control is carried out on the intersection, so that the traffic flow can pass in order, the generation of intersection conflict is reduced, and the passing capacity of the intersection is effectively improved.
Most of the existing intersection signal control is static timing control, namely, an optimal phase period is determined according to historical traffic flow data of each intersection counted in a certain time, green light time is allocated to each phase according to the ratio of the traffic flow of each intersection to the total traffic flow, and after the optimal phase period is determined, the optimal phase period is repeatedly displayed in a fixed and unchangeable mode. The intersection signal control mode is static timing control, and when the external environment changes, the static timing control method cannot make reasonable adjustment and optimization in time, so that the traffic efficiency of roads is influenced.

Fig. 2 is a structural framework of the signal control design system at the intersection, and fig. 3 shows a certain crossroad, each lane is 3.0m in width, no gradient exists, and the pedestrian crossing flow rate is medium. Fig. 4 is a four-phase diagram of a crossroad. The installed AVI device can identify the vehicle-mounted radio frequency tag of the vehicle when the vehicle passes by, and the vehicle-mounted radio frequency tag is provided with vehicle type information, vehicle state information, vehicle owner information and the like. The AVI device can transmit the vehicle information obtained by identification to the central processing unit for further calculation.
In this embodiment, the current period duration is 200s, the phase 1 green duration is 35s, the phase 2 green duration is 45s, the phase 3 green duration is 40s, and the phase 4 green duration is 60 s. In the period, the real-time traffic flow equivalent of each lane calculated by the processor through the data fed back by the AVI device and the straight equivalent coefficient obtained by looking up the table is shown in table 1:
TABLE 1 straight equivalent calculation table I of lane group in the embodiment of the present invention
The flow rate ratio analysis in the step (3) refers to: the ratio of the actual or design traffic volume of a lane group to the saturation flow rate of that lane. The saturation flow rate is calculated according to the following basic formula:
wherein: siThe saturation flow rate of the inlet duct, pcu/h;
S0the basic saturation flow rate of the inlet channel is pcu/h, and the value is 1900pcu/h when the measured data cannot be obtained;
n is the number of lanes contained in the lane group i;

In the embodiment, the lane width of each inlet road is 3.0m, no longitudinal slope exists, the ideal condition of applying a straight-going equivalent method is met, and the saturation flow rate can be 1650 veh/h.
The key lane group in the step (4) is as follows: for the same phase, traffic flows of multiple lane groups usually get right of way simultaneously in the phase, although the lane groups are in the same phase, generally speaking, the flow rate ratios of different lane groups are different, and the lane group with the largest flow rate ratio is most critical for determining the optimal signal period and the green light time length of each phase, so the lane group with the largest flow rate ratio in the same phase is called a critical lane group. The key flow rate ratio for each phase is then calculated as follows:
y1=q1/ST=247/1650=0.15
y2=q2/ST=353/1650=0.21
y3=q3/ST=263/1650=0.16
y4=q4/ST=519/1650=0.31

in this embodiment, the yellow light is taken as Ai3s, and the full red duration is 2s, the total signal loss time in one period is:
then according to the Webster signal period calculation method, the calculated next period optimal period duration in the current period is:
206s >25s, thus taking the period C as 206s
The effective green duration for each phase is:
the display time of the green light of each phase is as follows:
g1=gE,1+l1-A1=34s
g2=gE,2+l2-A2=47s
g3=gE,3+l3-A3=36s
g4=gE,4+l4-A4=69s
the shortest green light display time meeting the pedestrian crossing requirement is calculated, and the result is as follows:
therefore, it can be determined that the total duration of the next signal period after the end of the current period is 206s, and the display durations of the green lamps in each phase are respectively: 34s, 47s, 36s, 69 s. After the processor calculates and obtains the optimal signal period of the next period and the green light distribution time length, the processor sends data to a traffic signal controller of the intersection, at the moment, the signal period is dynamically changed, and after a plurality of periods, the processor calculates and obtains new real-time traffic flow equivalent of each lane as shown in table 2:
TABLE 2 straight equivalent calculation table II for lane group in the embodiment of the present invention
At this time, the total duration of the next signal period can be recalculated and determined to be 103s according to the above steps, and the display duration of the green light in each phase is respectively: 14s, 20s, 16s, 33 s.
