This paper presents a traffic signal scheduling strategy with consideration of both pedestrians and vehicles in the urban traffic system. Firstly, a novel mathematical model consisting of several logic constraints is proposed to describe the pedestrian flow in the urban traffic network and its dynamics are developed based on the crossing rules. Secondly, a mathematical model about the vehicle traffic network is introduced. Thirdly, a traffic light scheduling strategy to minimize the trade-off of the delays between pedestrians and vehicles is proposed. Finally, we translate this traffic signal scheduling problem to a mixed integer quadratic programming (MIQP) problem which can be solved by several existing tools, e.g., GUROBI. Numerical simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of our real-time traffic light scheduling for pedestrian movement and the potential impact to the vehicle traffic flows by the pedestrian movement.
