Abstract

In this paper, a real-time stochastic optimal control method of traffic signal is modified. In addition, H-GA-PSO algorithm is proposed to search optimal traffic signals based on the stochastic model. The H-GA-PSO algorithm is a modified Hierarchical Particle Swarm Optimization (H-PSO) algorithm based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) processing. Finally, the effectiveness of the stochastic optimal control method with H-GA-PSO algorithm is shown through simulations at multiple intersections using a micro-traffic simulator.
