Interventions to road are always required to keep road network in a good condition for this reason road works such as maintenance or reconstruction are carried out regularly. Roadwork zone distorts typical driving conditions and brings many unknown factors to driving process that increase the likelihood of an accident or congestion formation. Roadworks zones in Lithuania are a serious problem due to congestion formation, therefore, before the real construction works, it is necessary to carry out traffic flow and capacity modeling as well as to choose the appropriate traffic organization scheme through roadworks zones. The biggest congestion of vehicles in Lithuania occurs in roadworks zones where there is one lane left and traffic is controlled by traffic light, which do not adapt to real traffic conditions, but operate according to the created cycle and frequency model. The simulation analysis of roadwork zone with temporary traffic lights, in order to select optimal green light cycle and frequency is represented, in this paper.

Yogyakarta has increasing trends in the number of vehicles and consequently intensifying the traffic volume and will effect to higher emission and air pollution. Traffic lights duration plays a vital role in congestion mitigation in the critical intersections of urban areas. This study has objective to minimize the number of vehicles waiting in line by developing the hybrid simulation method. First of all, the MKJI and Webster method were calculated to determine the green traffic light. Then, the simulation model was developed to evaluate the number of vehicles waiting in line according to different duration of green traffic lights from MKJI and Webster method. A case study will then be provided in Pelemgurih intersection located in Yogyakarta, Indonesia for demonstrating the applicability of the developed method. The result shows that the duration of green traffic lights calculated by Webster method provides lower number of vehicles waiting in line. It is due to the short duration of green traffic light resulted by Webster method so that the traffic light cycle becomes shorter and it effects the number of vehicles waiting in line which is lower than MKJI method. The results obtained can help the generating desired decision alternatives that will important for Department of Transportation, Indonesia to enhance the road traffic management with low number of vehicles waiting in line.

In this paper, we present a new scheme to intelligently control the cycles and phases of traffic lights by exploiting the road traffic data collected by a wireless sensor network installed on the road. The traffic light controller determines the next phase of traffic lights by applying the Ant Colony Optimazation metaheuristics to the information collected by WSN. The objective of this system is to find an optimal solution that gives the best possible results in terms of reducing the waiting time of vehicles and maximizing the flow crossing the intersection during the green light. The results of simulations by the SUMO traffic simulator confirm the preference of the developed algorithm over the predefined time controller and other dynamic controllers.

Vehicular networks is a key technology for efficiently communicating both user’s devices and cars for timely information regarding safe driving conditions and entertaining applications like social media, video streaming, and gaming services, among others. In view of this, mobile communications making use of cellular resources may not be an efficient and cost-effective alternative. In this context, the implementation of light-fidelity (LiFi) in vehicular communications could be a low-cost, high-data-rate, and efficient-bandwidth usage solution. In this work, we propose a mathematical analysis to study the average throughput in a road intersection equipped with a traffic light that operates as a server, which is assumed to have LiFi communication links with the front lights of the vehicles waiting for the green light. We further assume that the front vehicle (the car next to the traffic light) is able to communicate to the car immediately behind it by using its own tail lights and the front lights of such vehicle, and so on and so forth. The behavior of the road junction is modeled by a Markov chain, applying the Queueing theory with an M/M/1 system in order to obtain the average queue length. Then, Little’s theorem is applied to calculate the average waiting delay when the red light is present in the traffic light. Finally, the mathematical expression of the data throughput is derived.

This article presents a review of existing technical means of traffic organization. Considered new, innovative technical means to ensure road safety, as well as its organization. There is a review of each technical means, special attention is paid to such tools as «wafer» marking representing a traffic lane bright yellow or orange in the form of a grid. Applying this markup is necessary to reduce the number of vehicles leaving the intersection during the prohibiting traffic signal. The experience of using it has shown that it is possible to reduce the number of offences in this area are on average 20%. As reviewed by technical means was deliniator - artificial border, which is used as road markings and divider lanes. Mostly Delineator necessary for reducing accidents, these devices are designed to minimize and often completely eliminate the risk of oncoming traffic accidents, which explains their effectiveness. Another technical tool, given the focus in this paper attributed the improved lights illuminated sections of the turn. This non-standard technical tool mostly used abroad, but the positive experience of its application will allow to apply it in Russia. The idea is that when a malfunction of a traffic light, the driver will know exactly about this phenomenon, due to the fact that the section is not highlighted. The application of these devices will reduce the number of road accidents and will not allow to leave vehicles at the junction with faulty traffic lights. Also the system of «Odyssey», which has also found its application in the implementation of management on a regulated intersection. This system consists of a camera and device for monitoring vehicles, which are used to detect and fix the location of the vehicle, which was speeding or violating other traffic rules and also to reduce the risk of road accidents. The combination of considered technical means of traffic organization improves the efficiency of traffic organization and to reduce the risk of road accidents.

Traffic congestion is a common occurrence in Indonesia. Traffic congestion is increasing from year to year, causing many things to happen, such as longer travel time, increased transportation costs, serious disruptions to transporting products, decreasing levels of work productivity, and wasteful use of labor energy. Congestion is also caused by a traffic light control system that is made with a fixed time so it can not detect the density of certain paths. Traffic lights in Indonesia, frequent damage that makes the density and the flow of his road vehicles can not be controlled. From these problems, conducted research to reduce the density of vehicles using infrared sensors and see the waiting time of the vehicle when the red light. The traffic light control system will use Fuzzy Logic Mamdani method. In Mamdani method by applying fuzzy into each variable and will be done matching between rule with condition which fulfilled to determine contents of output to be executed by prototype. This congestion detection will help the system in controlling the green light time by looking at stable, medium, and traffic jams. When the bottleneck starts to detect, the prototype will add a green light time according to the condition that is 0 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, and 15 seconds. However, when the streets are not detected by traffic jams, the green light will be back to normal at 15 seconds without additional time

Abstract The paper aims to explore the possibilities of improving road traffic in the central area of cities characterized by a longitudinal arrangement of the street network, with application for the case of Pitesti, where the road network in the central area consists of two main roads arranged longitudinally, having one-way regulated traffic, interconnected by several streets. A special traffic problem is reported in the city center: on the main road connecting the two boulevards, the vehicle storage space is insufficient - because the distance between the two road intersections is too small and there is no correlation between the Green phases of traffic lights in the two intersections. The research, based on traffic measurements performed with DataFromSky software and micro-simulation traffic analyses performed with Vissim PTV software, indicated that the best solution is the partial or total correlation of the green time from the traffic light intersections that delimit the connecting road artery. As, almost exclusively, the works dedicated to the correlation of green light of traffic lights treat the problem only along the road arteries, this paper raises a special issue and reveals the possibility of simple solutions, by correlating the traffic lights at the intersections connecting the main arteries.

Traffic Light Control

Today on the highway, especially on crossing roads, motor vehicle users are increasing, both motorbike and car drivers. Not only that, it can be seen from the number that has increased greatly every day. This situation requires the existence of a time setting, whose purpose is nothing but to reduce congestion to the risk of accidents. Therefore, in this study, a traffic light simulation is controlled by OMRON CP1E-N30SDR-A PLC. Traffic light simulation at the three intersections based on PLC OMRON CP1E-N30SDR-A has been made a traffic light control prototype to set the timing of traffic lights at the three intersections based on OMRON CP1E-N30SDR-A PLC. The method used for this research is observation, looking for references about sending data at traffic lights and can be processed on PLC systems. Observations were carried out directly at the place of data collection, namely at Simpang 3 Balikpapan Permai. Programming used to instruct traffic light simulations is to use a ladder diagram programming language created using CX-Programmer software. The purpose of this study is to make a traffic light system in the form of a simulation or prototype that has timing from intersection 3 of Balikpapan Permai. In traffic light simulations, timers are needed to synchronize between available intersections, namely 3 intersections. This is so that the vehicle that passes from one intersection where the traffic light conditions at that time is a green light, then the vehicle no longer waits at the next intersection. The signal is sent from one intersection to another as an indicator so that the intersection can automatically adjust the timing of traffic lights.
