Abstract

This paper deals with the relative timings of traffic signals to ensure optimum progression of platoons of vehicles in road network. A short description is given of a computer program bases on minimizing delay. A new parameter stop penalty, is included in the program to achieve an approach to maximum bandwidth while still allowing for varying street with and a variety of networks. The paper analysis the effect of stop penalty and its interaction with cycle time, travel time between signals and the complexity of the network.
