a closed-loop signal control strategy is proposed. The total instantaneous stopped delay at an intersection is taken as the control parameter to realize real-time switch of the traffic light status when the amount reaches the threshold
and green light signal is adaptively distributed to the most designed lane instead of the regular traffic signal cycle. When the traffic flow in a lane changes from 400/h to 800/h
a comparatively simulation is conducted following the proposed strategy against the Webster control strategy. Under the direction of the proposed strategy
there is an obvious cut-down of the average passing time for all cars in the lane
and for a traffic flow of 800/h
the average passing time is spent for only 44% of that under the traditional strategy. The proposed control strategy is insensitive to the control threshold
and the obtained maximum relative error of the average passing time reaches only 11%. The minor variance among multiple data of average passing time gets to 0.895 s for a traffic flow of 800/h in a lane at the intersection.
