– MOTION (Method for the Optimization of Traffic Signals in On-line controlled
Networks)
– ITACA (Intelligent Adaptive Control Area)

– CoSiCoSt (Composite Signal Control Strategy)
13. Challenges are different
Operational Models Traffic characteristics in Problem
(SCOOT , ITACA, ..) Developing Countries
Assume limited High heterogeneity and Results in wrong vehicle
heterogeneity and lane limited lane discipline counts and volume
following estimation
Assume no lane change Lane change happens Detectors fail to report
within the detection zone within and after detection turning proportions
zone
Use Upstream detection Vehicle Actuation needs Cannot be on VA Platform
stop-line detection
CoSiCoSt has special filters for addressing High Heterogeneity and poor lane
discipline. It is built on VA Platform offering high scalability
14. Challenges in implementing ATCS on
Indian roads
• Traffic is not lane following
• A vehicle entering the approach on a lane need
not maintain the same at the intersection
• High mix of traffic
• Uncontrolled side roads and on-street parking
• Obtaining a correct measure of traffic count is
highly complex
• Data loss due to power failure
• Network failure
16. Heterogeneous Traffic and Limited lane discipline
Cannot apply classical method of signal time computation
because of the complexities in deriving PCUs in real-time
Requires special filters to address the situation
17. ATCS Software
• Composite Signal Control Strategy
(CoSiCoSt)
– Developed by CDAC, DIT, Govt. of India
– Address High Heterogeneity and Poor
Lane discipline
– Operates on VA Platform
– Use Stop-line detection
– Subtract Method for Online Signal
Synchronization
– Strategies to guard against network
failure, power failure etc.
