Abstract
In this paper, experimental method is used to study intersection signal timing program. Then an Optimal Signal Timing Program is proposed based on Experiment (OSTPE), compared to Webster Timing Program (WTP) as well as the Current Timing Program (CTP) which is used in the field intersection. It has been found that OSTPE is superior to WTP and CTP, in which average vehicle delay is the smallest. Finally, each program has been verified by simulating the arrival of the traffic flow in the field intersection and findings that suggest that the conclusion remains the same.
