22nd ITS World Congress, Bordeaux, France, 5–9 October 2015 Paper number ITS-1644 Traffic signal splits optimisation in real time: The Simplex algorithm in SCATS * J. Carlos Aydos , Steven Shaw, Andrew Mehaffey Roads and Maritime Services of NSW PO Box 1927, Strawberry Hills NSW 2012, Australia T. +61 2 carlos.aydos@rms.nsw.gov.au Abstract The objective of adaptive traffic signal control systems is to optimise traffic flow. This is typically achieved by optimising intersection cycle length, phase splits and cycle offsets. In real-time systems, a compromise between optimal and computable solutions is often achieved. Phase split optimisation for trivial intersection problems are solved via efficient and ordinary optimisation techniques. Realistic and practical intersections contain phases with overlapping movements which require more sophisticated constrained optimisation techniques. This paper presents a novel application of the Simplex algorithm that increases the number of cases for which an optimal solution for phase splits can be found while maintaining its real-time computability. This strategy increases the number of phases that can be optimised in SCATS and enables traffic operators to choose the algorithm responsiveness. Keywords: SCATS, traffic signals, optimisation Introduction The Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System or SCATS (Sims Dobinson 1980; Lowrie 1982) optimises cycle length, phase splits and cycle offsets. This paper focuses on an improvement for the existing phase split optimisation strategy. In typical signalised intersections, cycle length is spli
