Paper Title
ADVANCED TECHNIQUES AND METHODS FOR TRAFFIC FLOW REQULATION
Abstract
The article examines the existing methods of traffic regulation, analyses the causes and consequences of congestion, the division of intersections into regulated and unregulated, and the classification of traffic lights by type of traffic control. Among the main parameters of traffic flow used by cyber-physical traffic control systems, the primary and most used are speed, density and volume of vehicles. This article analyses the causes and consequences of traffic jams, describes typical traffic flow behaviour and analyses traffic flow control methods and means. The paper demonstrates the proposed classification of traffic lights by type of regulation. In summary, the article represents a detailed overview of existing cyber-physical traffic control systems, such as SEA TCS, InSync and MASSTR. The article also reviews the existing cyber-physical traffic control systems and the primary technologies.
Keywords - Traffic lights control; adaptive traffic control; congestion; intersection; cyber-physical system.
