In this paper, a new optimization approach for arterial progression is presented to optimize the left-turn phase sequences minimizing arterial delay and proper simulation model for evaluation is presented. The focus of this study is to simultaneously optimize a good signal timing plan from a range of left-turn phase sequences, offsets, and cycle lengths for minimum-delay solution along a coordinated arterial. The key to achieve this goal is to formulate the delay minimization program as a mixed integer linear programming. Since it is difficult to formulate delay into linear form, in this paper, queues built up by red time instead of the delay are obtained and formulated as linear form. The proposed model takes a form of mixed-integer Iinear programming. In this paper, new simulation models are presented, describing platoon dispersion and platoon compression with shock-wave theroy.
