The invention discloses an urban road network signal control method and device based on vehicle path information. The method specifically comprises the following steps: acquiring target path data, demand generation time data, speed data, road network geometric data and conflict phase data of all vehicles in a road network in a target time period; recording the number of iterations m = 1, and initializing the vehicle arrival time of each intersection; clustering arriving vehicles of the same lane into a motorcade, constructing and solving a single-point signal control model taking delay minimization as a target, and optimizing vehicle leaving time at intersections one by one; calculating the vehicle arrival time of each intersection in the (m + 1) th iteration, and if the vehicle arrival time is not converged and m =m + 1, continuously optimizing the vehicle departure time; and if convergence occurs, taking the vehicle arrival and departure time of the mth iteration as the final vehicle arrival and departure time, and obtaining an intersection signal control scheme. According to the iknvention, delay minimization is taken as a target, a signal control scheme of each intersection of the road network is optimized, and the service level of the road network is effectively improved.
