In view of the low efficiency of green time utilization in the traditional arterial coordinated signal control method which only conducts speed guidance under connected vehicle environment

based on the two-way information interaction between vehicles and infrastructures

a new arterial coordinated signal control method was proposed with the goal of forming a saturated traffic flow by considering the two-way optimization of speed guidance and signal control scheme. On this basis

the arrival time range of the vehicles to be processed at each intersection in each cycle was defined

and the delay and stops of the vehicles were weighted to form a comprehensive performance evaluation index (PI). The optimization model of signal control parameters was established based on the minimum average PI

and the solution algorithm was designed. Case study shows that compared with the traditional arterial coordinated signal control method that only conducts speed guidance

the proposed method reduced the average PI of vehicles at intersections by 11.2%

which verifies the validity and feasibility of the model. The sensitivity of the optimization model was analyzed from the aspects of speed guidance interval

average travel speed

and intersection spacing

and the applicable conditions of the model were determined. Results show that these factors had significant influence on the optimization results of the signal control method.
