Abstract

Appropriate traffic coordination at intersections where multiple roads merge plays an important role in modern intelligent transportations systems. In this paper, we try to propose an efficient traffic coordination framework using multiple collision sets. Aiming at the essentially non-convex problem, we try to reformulate the original problem into a mixed binary integer quadratic programming one by proper relaxations. Low complexity solutions are also given afterwards. Numeric results show that the traffic throughput at intersections can be significantly improved compared to the existing investigations.
