Traffic Signal Optimization
i. Joint optimization of connected bus trajectories & traffic signals (JMTR_2301)
ii. Robust time-of-day traffic signal control (JMTR_2204)
Time-of-day (TOD) fixed timing strategy can be adopted in tackling traffic demand fluctuation within the day for urban signalized intersections. This program is initiated to develop methods & models that can generate efficient TOD control plans with robust signal timings for isolated (JMTR_2204) and arterial (JMTR_2305) signalized intersections.
JMTR_2204: Joint optimization of TOD intervals and robust signal timing for isolated intersection.
Keywords: Bi-level optimization, Arrival-departure curve, BLEAQ_II algorithm, SUMO.

iii. Optimization of contraflow left-turn lanes (JMTR_2107, JMTR_2020, JMTR_2019)
The contraflow left-turn lane (CLL) design provides a novel approach to alleviate congestion for those signalized intersections with heavy left-turn traffic. This program is initiated to develop models and methods to optimize traffic signal control schemes for isolated, arterial, and network levels of signalized intersections with CLL.
