Background
- Accurate prediction of Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) is crucial for optimizing traffic flow and enabling advanced driver-assistance systems.
- Existing deep learning methods have limitations in predicting SPaT information and associated confidence levels.
- The integration of SPaT prediction into systems like Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory (GLOSA) and Eco-Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (Eco-CACC) requires enhanced predictive capabilities.

- To propose and evaluate a novel transformer encoder-based architecture for improved SPaT information and confidence level prediction.
- To compare the performance of the proposed architecture against traditional deep learning methods (MLP, LSTM, CNNLSTM).
- To assess the effectiveness of model consensus as an indicator of prediction confidence.
Main Methods
- Development of an ensemble of predictors combining a transformer encoder with MLP, LSTM, and CNNLSTM.
- Data-driven prediction of SPaT information from traffic signal controllers at six intersections.
- Evaluation of three tasks: predicting phase change within 20s, predicting exact change time within 20s, and assigning a confidence level.
Main Results
- The transformer encoder architecture outperformed existing deep learning methods in predicting phase changes and exact change times.
- Achieved 96% average accuracy for predicting phase changes within 20 seconds.
- Demonstrated an average Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 1.49s for predicting exact change times, outperforming other models.
- Showcased that model consensus effectively indicates prediction confidence, with high-consensus predictions being accurate 90.2% of the time within one second.
Conclusions
- Transformer encoder-based architectures offer superior performance for SPaT prediction tasks compared to conventional deep learning models.
- Ensemble methods leveraging model consensus provide a reliable measure of prediction confidence, crucial for real-world applications.

Phase-lead controllers are commonly used in various control systems to enhance response speed and stability. Adjusting the brightness on a television screen offers a practical example of phase-lead control. When contrast is enhanced, a phase-lead controller is employed. Mathematically, phase-lead control is identified when the first parameter is smaller than the second.
The design of phase-lead control involves the strategic placement of poles and zeros to balance steady-state error and system...
In automotive engineering, car suspension systems often employ Proportional Derivative (PD) controllers to enhance performance. PD controllers are utilized to adjust the damping force in response to road conditions. A controller, acting as an amplifier with a constant gain, demonstrates proportional control, with output directly mirroring input.
Designing a continuous-data controller requires selecting and linking components like adders and integrators, which are fundamental in Proportional,...
A signal x(t) is a set of data or a time function representing a variable of interest. Signals typically convey information about a phenomenon, such as atmospheric temperature, humidity, human voice, television images, a dog's bark, or birdsongs. More generally, a signal can be a function of more than one independent variable. For instance, images depend on horizontal and vertical positions and can be regarded as two-dimensional signals. However, this text will focus on one-dimensional...
Understanding the working function of different types of controllers can be illustrated with practical analogies, such as adjusting a stereo's volume equalizer. Cranking up the bass involves a phase-lead controller, which functions as a high-pass filter, while increasing the treble uses a phase-lag controller, which acts as a low-pass filter. PD controllers, similar to high-pass filters, enhance the system's response to high-frequency components. PI controllers, akin to low-pass...
