Abstract: With the acceleration of the urbanization process in our country, the road traffic problems in the urban-rural fringe area are becoming serious. In order to improve the traffic efficiency, environmental benefits and traffic safety, a multi-objective optimal model for signal timing is established under the comprehensive consideration of several factors, such as the delay, capacity, number of stops and vehicle emissions. The genetic algorithm is used to solve the problem. A typical intersection is taken as the example for the analysis and the improved design schemes can be achieved and evaluated by the road traffic simulation. The results indicate that the multi-objective optimization is effective in the traffic signal control, which can reduce the traffic congestion and pollutant emissions.

Key words: urban-rural fringe, intersection, signal timing, vehicle emission, multi-objective optimization
