TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Development of the traffic signal control strategy and signal controller for tram JO - Journal of Korean Society of Transportation A1 - Lee, In-Kyu A1 - Kim, Youngchan A1 - Lee, Joo Il A1 - Oh, Seung Hwoon SP - 70 EP - 80 VL - 33 IS - 1 N2 - In recent years, tram has been the focus of a new mode of public transportation that can solve traffic jams and decrease public transit usage and environmental problem. This research is in the works to develop a tram signal controller and signal control strategies, and aim to resolve the problem of what could happen if a tram system was installed in general road. We developed the hierarchical signal control strategies to obtain a minimum tram bandwidth and to minimize vehicle delay, in order to perform a priority control to include passive and active signal priority control strategies. The strategies was produced for S/W and H/W, it is based in standard traffic signal controller. We conducted a micro simulation test to evaluate the hierarchical signal control strategies, which showed that the developed optimization model is effective to prevent a tram's stop in intersection, to reduce a tram's travel time and vehicle's delay.
