DYNAMIC CONTROL OF THE FLOW OF VEHICLES AT INTERSECTIONS IN REAL TIME

In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to dynamic traffic congestion management in order to increase traffic light capacity in urban areas. To this end, a number of adaptive control algorithms have been proposed for individual traf C lamps based on the input speed. However, taking into account the road conditions passing through several intersections in real time, attention was paid to the issue of increasing the traf C light capacity. In this article, we formulate the problem of maximum throughput by considering vehicles entering in different directions. Then we present a new adaptive traffic light control algorithm that maximizes traf C and reduces the waiting time for vehicles at the intersection. The proposed algorithm adjusts the phases and duration of the traf C light signal depending on the real-time road conditions of the main and adjacent intersections. Through SUMO simulations, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in terms of bandwidth and average travel time.
