Modified Model Predictive Control for Coordinated Signals along an Arterial under Relaxing Assumptions

Table 1

Typical assumptions.

IDTypical assumptionsLiterature number

1All of the streets are one-way, intersections are abstracted as nodes, and traffic channelization is not taken into account[1822]
2Vehicle demand is the sole consideration in traffic demand, and pedestrian crossing demand is not taken into account[6, 1530]
3Traffic signal controllers can only accommodate two or four phases and do not support complex phase structures (e.g., phase overlap)[2832]
4The offset of every intersection is set to 0, and the offset transition is not taken into account[20, 21, 23, 28, 31]
5The turning ratio at every approach remains constant and known, with turning vehicles uniformly distributed over the link[6, 17, 20, 27]
6Vehicles entering the link can pass the stop line during the current cycle[6, 16, 17, 26, 27]
