Cyclist's Waiting:
Identifying Road Signal Patterns
Robert Schönauer, 14.05.2013.
Presented at the CDC2013 Workshop,
@ AGILE 2013 – Leuven, May 14-17, 2013

Background
• Cyclists modal share is high in urban areas
• Car traffic is often over the capacity limits
Traffic control focuses on car driving speeds
Cyclists might lose the
green wave.
• Own experience: Knowing a route like the daily route to
work helps to avoid waiting times!
Green wave for
bicycles in
Copenhagen.

Filters for a specfic signal
1. Spatial filter:
Only close measurements are considered.
For each signal at a intersection for full information.
2. Velocity filter:
Only points with speed below a certain threshold are
relevant.

Estimating cycle time
1. Cumulative histogram after
modulo division (cycle time)
2. Identifying “empty”
neighboring bins
no waiting
3. Largest “empty” group
green phase
Relative green time
4. Varying cycle time
maximise relative green time 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100

Green and Red
1. Green: Steepest falling
slope in histogram
2. Red: When cyclists start

Verification issue
No available information about real signal
programs
Relatively low data density and non typical
waiting time pattern.
At both location public transport (PT) is
present prioritizing of PT changes green
duration (if not cycle time).

~25 tracks at a specific
signal: +/- 5 sec.
GPS noise, adaptive control

a higher number of tracks

Conclusion &
Future Research
Feasibility to find cycle period and green time
With limited number of tracks
Plausible numeric results at example junctions
! Redlight runners seem to disturbe the estimation.
! Adaptive traffic controls interferes the patterns periodicity.
Verification issue
Complexity of intersections and its handling
Estimate the impact of dynamic traffic control.
