Abstract

The difference in psychological behavior when drivers cross the road has a certain impact on the efficiency of crossing the road. On the basis of analyzing the subjective and objective factors of drivers, the entropy change model of green light time is established and verified. The model can simply judge the time when the driver faces different traffic lights, so as to effectively calculate the drivers driving speed, analyze the traffic situation, and improve the traffic efficiency.
