Xuegang (Jeff) Ban, Traffic Signal Optimization and Coordination in Connected Cities
Connected vehicles in smart cities, including vehicle to vehicle (V2V), vehicle to infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle to anything (V2X) communications, can provide more opportunities and impose more challenges for urban traffic signal control. This project webinar explored the basic research on developing signal control and coordination methods under the CV environment, developed a framework for urban traffic signal optimization with CVs, and tested the developed methods both in traffic simulation and using real-world CV data.
Dr. Xuegang (Jeff) Ban is an Associate Professor of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Washington. His recent research focuses on applying mathematical modeling tools and transportation principles to investigate the system effect of emerging technologies such as connected/automated vehicles and shared mobility. He has published about 120 papers in refereed journals, as book chapters, or in refereed conference proceedings. He is a member of the TRB’s Network Modeling Committee (ADB30) and Vehicle-Highway Automation Committee (AHB30).
