Abstract
The present application discloses a traffic light control method for an urban road network based on expected return estimation, which uses C-V2X wireless communication technology to obtain real-time information of all vehicles and traffic state in the road network from vehicle-mounted terminals, and adaptively and dynamically controls the phase transformation of the traffic light. According to the present application, the expected returns of keeping the current phase and executing phase switch are calculated by estimating the timely driving distance and the future driving distance of the passable vehicles in the next green light duration in combination with the proposed road priority traffic index. By comparing the expected returns of keeping the current phase or switching to other phases, the best phase is selected, so as to make as many passable vehicles travel farther as possible in the next green light duration. Therefore, the efficiency of traffic will be improved.
