Abstract
This paper aims to construct the macroscopic timing optimization model for signalized intersections with considering traffic flow dynamics. First, Lebacque’s internal state node model is extended to the situation of signalized intersections. The formulas of travel time are derived respectively for one section and multiple sections by using cumulative curve method. Then a macroscopic timing optimization model for signalized intersections is presented. Finally, some examples concerning under-saturated and over-saturated intersections are presented, which give support to the proposed model.
