A Cooperative Control Approach of Transit Signal and Trajectory Optimization for Bus Priority at Connected Intersection

This paper proposes a cooperative control of transit signal priority and speed guidance strategy for connected buses at intersections, which aims to reduce travel delays and improve driving comfort. The connected bus could pass the intersection with the green light while minimizing the impact on the social traffic flow or reduce bus waiting time at intersections. The cooperative optimal problem is described as a mixed-integer programming problem. Serval simulation tests are conducted in SUMO platform, which is proved that the total passenger delay is reduced and the average vehicle cumulative queue length at intersections is reduced, and the bus travel efficiency is improved.
