Dynamic Traffic Signal Split Control Method at Pedestrian Crossings

In order to facilitate and guarantee the safety of vehicular traffic on roadways, traffic control is crucial. Currently, there is a lot of study on how to effectively alter the control parameters of traffic lights for the aim of facilitating road traffic, but the observation targets of such research are restricted to vehicles. Traffic congestion in urban areas is a severe issue. However, the interference between automobiles and pedestrians creates the actual traffic, making pedestrians a vital aspect to take into account. In this article, we suggest a strategy for parameter-based traffic signal split control that will increase pedestrian traffic by taking both vehicle and pedestrian traffic into account.
