Abstract

This paper aims to enhance highway traffic efficiency by integrating a project focused on signal timing optimization at highway intersections. Supported by intelligent technologies, a reasonable optimization system is constructed. Practical application demonstrates that the signal timing optimization at highway intersections under this system yields significant results, substantially improving traffic efficiency. This provides a reference for subsequent signal timing optimization at highway intersections, aligning with the development needs of the intelligent transportation context.
