Abstract:
Consideration is given to a one-way street which intersects n one-way side streets. Traffic approaching the first street is steady as are the flows on all side streets. Traffic signals are idealized as perfect on-off switches and traffic in treated as a fluid moving with a constant velocity on the main street. Total delay and total number of stops are evaluated for several types of signal coordination schemes. Some conclusions are 1 For any given common cycle time and given splits at each intersection, there is a choice of off-sets phases which simultaneously minimizes both the total delay and stops but it is not necessarily the one which produces a through band. 2 There are signal settings for which some signals operate on half or a third the cycle time of other lights, that give a main street delay equal to that for the optimal common cycle time setting but give less delay to the side street. 3 Similar models are commonly used to find maximum through bands for two-way traffic, but it is not obvious that this is a suitable objective even for one-way streets.
