Abstract

Abstract

In order to precisely monitor the dynamic travel time in urban road network with signal control, the fluctuation rule of traffic volume affected by signal control strategy was analyzed, and a travel time estimation method based on traffic volume diagram offset was proposed.The similarity of traffic volume diagrams under different cross sections was analyzed, the dynamic travel time between cross sections was computed according to the offset of traffic volume diagram when the maximum similarity was reached, and it was compared with the field survey data.Comparison result indicates that the maximum mean relative error of mean travel time is 7.1% for different time lengths (5, 10, 20 min) during peak and non-peak periods at the closed road segments of urban road network, so the method is feasible.
