A comparative study of Macroscopic Fundamental Diagrams of urban road networks
governed by different traffic signal systems, arXiv
 









Excerpt: Using a stochastic cellular automaton model for urban traffic flow, we
study and compare Macroscopic Fundamental Diagrams (MFDs) of arterial road
networks governed by different types of adaptive traffic signal systems. In
particular, we simulate realistic signal systems that include signal linking and
adaptive cycle times, and compare their performance against a network using
highly adaptive self-organizing traffic signals (…) Our results show that the
MFD of the self-organizing traffic signals lies above the MFD for the realistic
systems, suggesting that higher adaptivity provides overall better performance
and higher capacity.
