Traffic congestion is a major concern for many cities throughout the world. Developing a sophisticated traffic monitoring and control system would result in an effective solution to this problem. In order to reduce traffic delay, a novel urban arterial traffic signal coordinated control method is presented. The total delay of downstream and upstream vehicles is considered and the function describing the relationship between vehicles delay and signal offset among intersections is established. Finally, comparing the performance of traffic signal under method proposed in this paper with the traditional isolated traffic signal control method, the microscopic simulation results show that the method proposed in this paper has better performance in the aspect of reducing the vehicles delay. The offset model is tested in a simulation environment consisting of a core area of three intersections. It can be concluded that the proposed method is much more effective in relieving oversaturation in a network than the isolated intersection control strategy.
