Abstract
According to the relationship between the speed of vehicle and the amber light, we establish the differential equation model of the amber light duration. And based on the relevant conditions given in the title, three differential equation models of amber light duration under different conditions are obtained. Considering the traffic condition and driver's habit, we calculate a value that is most suitable to the actual demand. The sensitivity and stability of the model and its related factors are analyzed. We improve the model for the problem of difficult area.
Keywords: Difficult area, sensitivity analysis, differential equation, image rendering.
