Signal parameters
Cycle length (サイクル長): C [sec]
Time duration of one cycle of signal phases
Split (スプリット): g [%] (=G/C, G:effective green
time [sec])
Time ratio of one phase out of the cycle time
Offset (オフセット): x (=X/C) [%] or X [sec]
Time difference of green start between two adjacent
intersections

Signal Control Types
Spatial classification
Isolated signal control (単独(地点)制御)
Arterial coordination (路線系統制御)
Network coordination (面制御)
Control classification
Pretime control (定時(定周期)制御)
Single-program pretime control
Multi-program pretime control
Responsive control (交通感応制御)
Program selection control
Program formation control

Multi-program pretime control
widely used
One of the pre-determined programs (phase
plan and parameters) is implemented
according to time & day of week.

Responsive control
Control parameters are selected / created
depending on the traffic situation detected by
roadside sensors.

Signal coordination
space one-way street space two-way street
time time
one-way street:
optimum offset = travel time between intersections
two-way street: optimum offset = ?
need to consider traffic in both direction
Cycle time have to be the same among coordinated
intersections so that the coordination is kept.
