GroupingFeaturesImprovement

Group 1Existing algorithmThe control group
Group 2Optimizations of basic parameters and the information transmission mode(i) The green light of each phase was more flexible
(ii) The system efficiency of signal coordination improved
(iii) The operations of some intersections were still poor which need to be improved
Group 3Optimizations of the information transmission rule and the return(i) The maximum queue length of the system was reduced
(ii) The fluctuation of the queue length at the intersection was optimized
