Recently, growth in population and economy has increased the use of
vehicles on highways. Depending on this, the capacity of intersections becomes
increasingly insufficient. Due to inefficient operation of intersections, the
delay, fuel consumption, and emission release increase, and also the driver
behaviors are negatively affected. It is possible to minimize these problems by
correctly determination of optimum cycle length and adjustment of signal times.
In this study, optimum cycle length models have been developed using Artificial
Bee Colony Algorithm (ABC). In addition, Differential Evolution Algorithm (DE)
has been used to determine the cycle length which has the minimum delay. In
addition to the Calibrated Webster model, exponential and quadratic forms have
been developed. All developed models have statistically better performance than
the Webster model and also exponential model has illustrated the best
performance. It has been seen that these models can be used as an alternative
estimating cycle length model by overcoming the deficiency of Webster model
which is insufficient especially in high traffic volumes.
