Optimal signal timing design for the intersection of Dazhi Street and Hexing Road

Abstract The phenomenon of intersection congestion has become a major problem in the city. Based on the intersection of Hexing road and Dazhi street, the delay phenomenon of Urban Road intersection is optimized. The intersection of Hexing road and Dazhi street is seriously delayed. In order to improve the road capacity of the intersection and reduce the delay of the intersection, the traffic characteristics parameters of the intersection during peak period are obtained, and the traffic capacity and intersection service level of the signalized intersection are analyzed and calculated. Based on the study of the basic content and research methods of signal timing at signalized intersections, the microscopic simulation software VISSIM was used to improve the traffic control scheme with serious delays at intersections and low urban road capacity, the simulation optimization is carried out by changing the signal timing and resetting the channelization scheme of intersection. Meanwhile, the signal timing of intersection is optimized. The results show that the traffic capacity of the intersection has been greatly improved by VISSIM simulation.
