Abstract

With the acceleration of urbanisation, the problem of traffic congestion is becoming more and more prominent, and effective traffic management and optimisation is increasingly becoming an important issue in urban operation. In this paper, we will focus on the relevant data and discuss in depth how to use vehicle trajectories to estimate the operation cycle of traffic signals. In this paper, the K-means model is first used to analyse the periodicity of five specified intersections in a particular direction based on the vehicle trajectories within one hour and accurately calculate the periodicity of traffic signals at these intersections in that direction. The clustering model is continuously adjusted through iterative optimisation to minimise intra-class distances and maximise inter-class distances. Then, the peak detection method is used to solve the red light phase duration and calculate the continuous stop state interval to estimate the green light duration. In this paper, for dynamic cycle change detection, peak analysis is used to identify the major stop duration peaks and the CUSUM method is further applied to detect cycle change points. This helps in mapping the vehicle trajectory using the provided data and confirming the approximate orientation of the vehicle as a means of categorising the data and constructing an accurate cycle model.
