Methods for Optimization of Signal Cycle Length

Traffic on the existing road is increasing due to rapid urbanization and industrialization due to extreme growth of vehicles all over the world. Due to this, some problems like congestion, delay and pollution remain a big challenge. These problems can be solved by providing an effective traffic signal control at the intersection for achieve continuous movement of vehicles at the intersection. The primary objective of this study is to review methods for develop an optimized traffic signal cycle length model for signalized intersections. Most traffic signal timing plans are designed to decrease delay time of vehicle. Signal timing is most important and it is used to decide green time of the traffic signal. Citation: Vaidehi J.
