2 Outline 2-part talk Current Traffic Control Issues Response of RHODES: Real-time Adaptive Control RHODES - Next Generation Further Response to Issues Current Issues -- RHODES -- RHODES/NG -- Conclusions
3 What is an Adaptive Control System? It is necessarily a Feedback Control System that Adapts data Real-time Control System Sensors and Measurements: monitoring state of system Feedback & decisions Actual System Controls: Actuators Signals. Current Issues -- RHODES -- RHODES/NG -- Conclusions
4 Simplified Architecture for RHODES Data collection and prediction of queues and arrivals raw data processed data Control Selection Feedback & decisions Detectors, traffic signals, and communication Control Actions (phase durations) We are showing only Counts loop detectors but any sensor Stop-bar will work Current Issues -- RHODES -- RHODES/NG -- Conclusions
5 Issues with Conventional Traffic Control (TOD/Actuated) Although traffic signals manage the safety and traffic performance of the limited capacity of an intersection, little recognition that traffic is a fluctuating stochastic process. E.g.: A traffic plan (cycles, splits and offsets) assumes a stationary stochastic process. Note: RHODES does not use plans but estimates realtime information to provide green time to movements being demanded. (Will discuss shortly). Current Issues -- RHODES -- RHODES/NG -- Conclusions

7 Quality Attributes of an Adaptive Traffic Signal Control System? Responsiveness: How fast does it respond to changes in traffic conditions? (including incidents and special events) Feedback Philosophy: Is it reactive? (the vanilla version) Is it proactive? (the sundae version) Current Issues -- RHODES -- RHODES/NG -- Conclusions
8 Open-loop, Reactive & Proactive (Illustration in following a trajectory) Position Actual Trajectory Reactive Open Loop Proactive Time Current Issues -- RHODES -- RHODES/NG -- Conclusions
9 RHODES (Proactive) Traffic Control Explicitly recognizes that traffic state is a fluctuating stochastic process Requires prediction of short-term future based on current conditions and controls Especially useful for non-recurrent traffic conditions and major incidents Current Issues -- RHODES -- RHODES/NG -- Conclusions

24 2 nd Part Current Traffic Control Issues Response of RHODES: Real-time Adaptive Control RHODES - Next Generation Further Response to Issues Current Issues -- RHODES -- RHODES/NG -- Conclusions
25 The performance of RHODES is directly related to the accuracy of its queue estimates Parameters which affect this accuracy: Turn Proportions RHODES Input Parameters Proportion of vehicles on an approach which turn left, turn right or proceed through the intersection Queue Discharge Rates Rate at which vehicles leave an intersection, dependent upon the number of available lanes and the movement involved Link Travel Times Time taken by a vehicle to traverse the distance from an upstream peer intersection to a point downstream Current Issues -- RHODES -- RHODES/NG -- Conclusions
26 RHODES Self-Adaptive Traffic Signal Control Self-adaptive Traffic Signal Control Next Generation RHODES incorporate algorithms that automatically update critical RHODES parameters based on available data Benefits Performance of RHODES will be further improved Significant reduction in calibration and fine-tuning Eliminates the need to update parameters periodically Data and computed parameters (from RHODES) will be available to agencies for other purposes, such as regional planning Current Issues -- RHODES -- RHODES/NG -- Conclusions
27 INTERSECTION CONTROL SUBSYTEM PREDICT arrivals & queues CAPRI TURN RATIOS DISCHARGE RATES TRAVEL TIMES GENERALIZED LEAST-SQUARE ESTIMATION detectors Current Issues -- RHODES -- RHODES/NG -- Conclusions

29 INTERSECTION CONTROL SUBSYTEM PREDICT arrivals & queues CAPRI TRAVEL TIMES TURN RATIOS THIS IS SUPPORTED BY AN ON-GOING FHWA CONTRACT DISCHARGE RATES detectors Current Issues -- RHODES -- RHODES/NG MONITORING ESTIMATED QUEUES & DETECTOR OCCUPANCIES -- Conclusions
30 RHODES Self-Adaptive Traffic Signal Control Self-adaptive Next Generation RHODES responds to oversaturation 1. From residual queues it recognizes saturation regimes (next slide) 2. From upstream-downstream communication RHODES spreads the queues, keeping traffic stable. 3. But note: that there is always a capacity for a signalized network, and when the load is increased above this capacity there will be unbounded queues. Gating into network is necessary for keeping queues bounded. Current Issues -- RHODES -- RHODES/NG -- Conclusions
31 RHODES Self-Adaptive Traffic Signal Control Automatically recognizes various operating regimes Queue size Residual queues keep exploding (over saturation) Usually no residual queues Residual queues described by steady-state distribution Traffic load Current Issues -- RHODES -- RHODES/NG -- Conclusions

33 Concluding Remarks on Next Generation RHODES Control Improvement in traffic performance: responds to recurrent congestion responds to near oversaturation responds to non-recurrent conditions and incidents (through monitor, learn, predict and optimally respond strategy) Decrease in traffic operations/planning effort operators need not time signals periodically planners and traffic engineers can concentrate on smaller number of scenarios Current Issues -- RHODES -- RHODES/NG -- Conclusions
34 Thanks for your attention Questions???
35 Possible Questions 1 and 2 Benefits compared to TOD/Actuated: main part of my talk Are there certain conditions when traditional TOD plans are more beneficial than your Adaptive TCS? No! When the traffic demand becomes stationary the phase durations become similar to a well timed semi-actuated control.
36 Possible Questions 3 Has a cost to benefit analysis been done for your Adaptive TCS? Yes! Third party evaluation at Pinellas Co. showed that Main corridor showed significant operational improvements, with very slight cross street penalties Total lifecycle savings over 10-yr period was $10.6M, B/C ratio 7.7 Average reductions: travel time: 5-15% stops: 10-24% delay: 9-39%
37 Possible Questions 4 What are the basic steps in installing your system? Current RHODES requires: A single board computer (SBC) to house it, now using Gecko Board with Windows OS. (Now porting to Linux) ATC running Siemen s NextPhase or Econolite ASC with an adapt interface. But we are creating a public API for other controllers. Reliable communication network. E.g., intranet between peer intersections RHODES now fully integrated with MIST traffic mgt. system. It can monitor RHODES status and upload/ download intersection layout and parameters RHODES has worked in TS1, TS2, and 170 cabinets.
38 Possible Questions 4 (contd) What are the basic steps in installing your system? Current RHODES by April can be run On C engine board, eliminating need for SBC Also run centrally, where data from field will be operated on a central server which will download adaptive timings. In this case we need a high-speed communication network. (This approach could be used for trying out RHODES before investing in field equipment.)
39 Possible Questions 5 Once installed, what tasks are required to maintain it? typical maintenance tasks of inspecting detectors and communications systems. Until RHODES-NG is ready, need TOD turning ratios and any improvements or capacity changes to increase or decrease free flow travel times. (After RHODES-NG it is assumed all these parameters will be selfcorrecting.)
40
41 Possible Questions 4 (contd) What are the basic steps in installing your system? Current RHODES requires: Once hardware in place need to configure RHODES for each intersection which involves: Obtaining lane layout (number of lanes, length of turn bays, etc.) and inputting related parameters. (half of these used in TOD) Obtaining detectors layout and inputting related parameters (also used for TOD) Obtaining traffic data and inputting related parameters (also used in TOD) Tuning parameters to see if they were right (e.g., was the travel time right?) (also done in TOD) Qualitatively observe if RHODES seems to be working (also done in TOD)

52 Additional benefit: performance monitoring Queues, delays and travel times, Level of congestion operational regimes Unsaturated Saturated but stable Over saturated (unstable) Route travel times
53 Concluding Remarks NEAR FUTURE: Special vehicles will be identified via transponders and detectors, e.g.: Emergency, Transit, HAZMAT, using IntelliDrive structure Traffic signals will provide appropriate signal service by scheduling the service within the given time horizon FAR FUTURE: Every vehicle will be tracked. Every vehicle will be require and be provided appropriate service and treated with appropriate priority. Signals will provide in-vehicle signal and controls ( STOP or you will have an accident ). Safety will improve. Current Adaptive Control RHODES RHODES/NG RHODES/VII Conclusion
