With the advances in wireless communication technology, vehicles are able Available online xxxx to communicate with each other and with the infrastructure in the emerging connected vehicle system. Data collected from connected vehicles provides a much more complete Keywords: picture of the traf?c states near an intersection and can be utilized for signal control. This Adaptive traf?c signal control Connected vehicle paper presents a real-time adaptive signal phase allocation algorithm using connected Dynamic programming vehicle data. The proposed algorithm optimizes the phase sequence and duration by solv- Estimating vehicle states ing a two-level optimization problem. Two objective functions are considered: minimiza- Real-time optimization tion of total vehicle delay and minimization of queue length. Due to the low penetration rate of the connected vehicles, an algorithm that estimates the states of unequipped vehi- cle based on connected vehicle data is developed to construct a complete arrival table for the phase allocation algorithm.
