Based on floating car theorem, this paper investi- gated the average intersection delay and the average vehicle stop times. During the traffic investigation, Ar- cGIS, GPS, VC++ and other technologies have been applied. In addition, the evaluation indices of intersec- tion performance average intersection delay and average vehicle stop times (Guiyan Jiang et al. 2006) were selected and compared. The results showed that both average intersection delay and average vehicle stop times have been reduced after the implementation of ATC system. Improvement of traffic condition is more obvious under cooperative control status. This paper provided a reference for testing the performance of in- tersections under ATC system.
