Abstract

We introduce the preference parameter into the two-route dynamic model proposed by Wahle et al. The parameter represents the driver’s preference for the route choice. When the driver prefers a route, the traffic flow on route A does not balance with that on route B. We study the signal control for the unbalanced two-route traffic flow at the tour-time feedback strategy where the vehicles move ahead through a series of signals. The traffic signals are controlled by both cycle time and phase shift (offset time). We find that the mean tour time can be balanced by selecting the offset time successfully. We derive the relationship between the mean tour time and offset time (phase shift). Also, the dependences of the mean density and mean current on the offset time are derived.
