SWIFT Contract Number 55279

Project Name Automatic Generation of Traffic Signal Timing Plan

Project Number (if applicable) 99008W67

Summarize purpose of the contract, including why it was necessary: The goal of this research is to develop methods to automate coordinated timing plan generation on signalized arterials. This project aims to extend SMART-SIGNAL¿s capability for automatic diagnosis of operational problems and fine-tuning of signal control parameters. Automatic diagnosis and optimization tools will be developed based upon the large volume of traffic signal performance data collected by the SMART-SIGNAL system. The data-driven algorithms and tools will extend the life of an existing signal timing plan by fine-tuning the parameters and significantly reduce the frequency and expense of manual work for signal retiming, thereby bring revolutionary changes to the practice of signal control systems.
