The application provides a
traffic signal optimization method based on parameter calibration and improved Webster timing method, the method comprising: arranging detection coils in each lane in front of a stop line at an intersection, collecting vehicle passing information and storing locally; based on
traffic flow theory analysis, calibrating saturated
headway and calculating saturated flow of each lane according to the vehicle passing information, reducing the influence of oversaturated
traffic flow on
signal timing; for phase overlap and stage secondary release, the concept of phase residual
flow ratio is proposed to solve the
adaptation problem of Webster timing method under the
signal timing requirements of the phase overlap and the stage secondary release; in the
signal timing self-optimization link, if the
signal timing meets the minimum green constraint relationship, the
signal timing ends; if the
signal timing does not meet the minimum green constraint relationship, the minimum green adjustment process is entered; when real-time optimization is performed, the updated signal timing is executed in the next cycle and the vehicle passing information is recorded again; when timing optimization is performed, adjustment is performed within a certain
fixed time period based on historical data. The problems of unreasonable setting of basic parameters and limited use of traditional timing methods in actual application scenarios are solved, and a fast, accurate and stable
traffic signal adaptive optimization system is established.
