도시의 교통 혼잡 문제가 심각해지면서 지능형 교통신호제어가 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 강화학습은 교통신호제어에 가장 활발하게 사용되고 있는 알고리즘으로 최근에는 심층 강화학습 알고리즘이 관심을 끌고 있다. 또한 심층 강화학습 알고리즘이 다양한 분야에서 높은 성능을 보이면서 심층 강화학습의 확장 버전들이 빠른 속도로 등장했다. 하지만 기존 교통신호제어 연구들은 대부분 단일 교차로 환경에서 진행되었으며, 단일 교차로의 교통 혼잡만 완화하는 방법은 도시 전체의 교통 상황을 고려하지 못한다는 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중 교차로 환경에서 협력적 교통신호제어를 제안한다. 신호제어 알고리즘에는 심층 강화학습의 확장 버전들이 결합된 알고리즘을 적용했으며 다중 교차로를 효율적으로 제어하기 위해 인접한 교차로의 교통 상황을 고려하였다. 실험에서는 제안하는 알고리즘과 기존 심층 강화학습 알고리즘을 비교하였으며, 더 나아가 협력적 방법이 적용된 모델과 적용되지 않은 모델의 실험 결과를 보여줌으로써 높은 성능을 증명한다.

서울을 비롯한 대도시에서는 최근, 신호교차로를 포함하는 도시 가로망에 기존의 고정식 신호체계를 대신하여 첨단신호체계를 도입하여 운영하고 있다. 이러한 신호시스템의 장점은 변화하는 교통상황에 따라 최적의 신호현시를 제공한다는 것이다. 그러나 이러한 신호체계가 큰 효과를 기대할 수 있음에도 불구하고 현재까지 이러한 시스템과 기존의 신호 시스템을 비교한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 가장 큰 이유는 실시간으로 교통상황에 대응하는 이러한 신호시스템을 평가하는 것이 매우 어려운 일이기 때문이다. 본 연구의 목적은 독립교차로, 교통축, 네트워크 단위에서의 기존의 전자신호와 첨단신호체계의 효율성을 비교 평가할 수 있는 미시적 시뮬레이터를 개발하는 것이다. 이러한 시뮬레이터의 개발은 교통운영체계에 대한 보다 정밀한 분석을 가능하게 할 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 본 연구에서는 개발된 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 현재 서울의 강남지역에서 운영되고 있는 신신호 시스템의 각종 알고리즘에 대한 평가를 수행하였다.

In this parer, we introduce an algorithm to control flows of the traffic in multi-intersections. It is pointed out that the main problem in traffic control is how to resolve the congested situations for the particular time-durations and directions. The heavy load to a certain direction usually leads the intersection to congested situations, and the adjacent intersections are affected. We control and analyze the traffic flow of multi-intersections consisting of five intersections, in which four intersections are linked to the four directions of the central one. The entrance of vehicles of each direction is described using the concept of probability. We compare the performance of the pretimed signal controls to the traffic adaptive signal controller using a Petri Net simulation tool, Exspect.

In this paper, we wish to construct a optimal traffic cycle using wire remote control. if police vehicle or ambulance suddenly enter the traffic Intersection, it will increase the traffic accident. In this paper, wireless traffic light use the radio traffic control signal and research about the hardware manufacture to check special detectors on urgency vehicles may safety and rapidly enter traffic intersection. Also, this paper present a traffic signal control conditions that analyzes different traffic intersection flows in cases of saturated flows, where the real traffic volume demand is large and the capacity constraints of bottlenecks have significant effects on the flow patterns. Through computer simulation this wireless traffic light has been proven to be much more safety and efficient than fixed traffic signal light which does not consider emergency vehicles for safety escort.

본 연구에서는 통행시간과 점유율의 융합 정보를 이용하는 새로운 실시간 신호제어 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 교통정보시스템의 통행시간 정보를 신호운영에 적용하였으며, 통행시간으로 부터 산정한 포화도를 신호제어에 이용하기 위한 프로세스를 개발하였다. 결정적 지체모형을 이용해 통행시간으로부터 대기행렬 길이를 생성하고, 대기행렬 길이를 다시 포화도로 변환하는 과정이 적용되었다. 또한 통행시간 기반 포화도와 루프검지기 포화도를 융합해 신호시간이 산정되도록 하였다. 신호제어 알고리즘의 효과평가를 위해 미시적 시뮬레이션 분석을 시행하였으며, 과포화 상태에서 기존 루프검지기 기반 실시간 신호제어 대비 최대 27%의 지체 감소 효과를 확인하였다. 또한 과포화 및 검지기 고장상황에 대한 효과적이고, 유용한 대응이 가능함을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 교통신호제어시스템과 교통정보시스템의 교통정보 통합이용 방안을 제시하였다는데 의의가 있겠다.

The traffic congestion caused by the exploding increase of vehicles became one of the severest social problems. Among the various approaches to solve this problem, controlling the length of traffic signals appropriately according to the individual traffic situation would be the most plausible and cost-effective method. To design a traffic signal controller which has such a property as adaptive decision-making process, we adopt fuzzy logic control method(fuzzy traffic signal controller), Moreover, using genetic algorithms we obtain an optimized fuzzy traffic signal controller (GA-fuzzy traffic signal controller). To evaluate and validate the proposed fuzzy and GA-fuzzy traffic signal controller, simulation results are presented.

There are plenty of optimization models for the signal-system of a single intersection and area traffic. Some of those models are adopted for the real traffic signal control system. The simulators for a single crossroad have been developed, so that we could evaluate optimization models and traffic control systems. However, the simulators for the area traffic are still being developed. Therefore, there are many limitations in the analysis and evaluation for area traffic control system. The area traffic is consisted of several intersections which are very complicated and many traffic strategies are adopted for the control system. This paper features an effective area traffic control system based on the High Lever Architecture(HLA). In this paper, we discuss the design of HLA-based area traffic control simulation. We describe technical motivations for the HLA, the key elements of the architecture and how they are minimum and essential to the goal of reuse and interoperability. A distributed simulation with HLA/RTI provides stable and satisfactory experimental results. Moreover, the prototype traffic control system provides reliable accomplishment compared to the NETSIM and TRANSYT-7F models.

Traffic congestion has become a serious problem with the recent exponential increase in the number of vehicles. In urban areas, almost all traffic congestion occurs at intersections. One of the ways to solve this problem is road expansion, but it is difficult to realize in urban areas because of the high cost and long construction period. In such cases, traffic signal control is a reasonable method for reducing traffic jams. In an actual situation, the traffic flow changes randomly and its randomness makes the control of traffic signals difficult. A prediction of traffic jams is, therefore, necessary and effective for reducing traffic jams. In addition, an autonomous distributed (stand-alone) point control of each traffic light individually is better than the wide and/or line control of traffic lights from the perspective of real-time control. This paper describes a stochastic optimum control of crossroads and multi-way traffic signals. First, a stochastic model of traffic flows and traffic jams is constructed by using a Bayesian network. Secondly, the probabilistic distributions of the traffic flows are estimated by using a cellular automaton, and then the probabilistic distributions of traffic jams are predicted. Thirdly, optimum traffic signals of crossroads and multi-way intersection are searched by using a modified particle swarm optimization algorithm to realize real-time traffic control. Finally, simulations are carried out to confirm the effectiveness of the real-time stochastic optimum control of traffic signals.

Freeway Corridors consist of urban freeways and parallel arterials that drivers can use alternatively. Ramp metering in freeways and signal control in arterials are contemporary traffic control methods that have been developed and applied in order to improve traffic conditions of freeway corridors. However, most of the existing studies have focused on either optimal ramp metering in freeways, or progression signal strategies between arterial intersections. There have been no traffic control systems in Korea that integrates the freeway ramp metering and arterial signal control. The effective control strategies for freeway operations may cause negative effects on arterial traffic. On the other hand, traffic congestion and bottleneck phenomenon of arterials due to the increasing peak-hour travel demand and ineffective signal operation may generate an accessibility problem to freeway ramps. Thus, the main function of the freeway which is the through-traffic process has not been successful. The purpose of this study is to develop an integrated control model that connects freeway ramp metering systems and signal control systems in arterial intersections. And Optimization of integrated control model which consists of ramp metering and signal control is another purpose. Optimization results are verified by comparison with the results from MATDYMO.
