Abstract
AbstractTraffic modelling and simulation is one of the frequent tools used in road infrastructure design. Software tools designed for traffic simulations are an important supportive tool in decision-making and in choosing the optimal solution. The aim of this paper is to introduce the application of the VISSIM program, in the design and testing a model of the traffic-light-controlled intersection. The traffic on the selected congested intersection is modelled and simulated first for the current state, then for two models with modifications that are to increase the throughput of the intersection. The monitored criterion of the intersection throughput is the length of queues. Both adjustments have led to a significant reduction of the number of vehicles waiting in direction of the greatest congestions. In the first model, the average line length was reduced by 75%, and in the second model, the modifications lead to a fluent passage of right-turn vehicles and a significant reduction in vehicle lines for other directions.

Summary
Abstract: Traffic modelling and simulation is one of the frequent tools used in road infrastructure design. In order to optimize signal timing for isolated intersection, the authors proposed a new method based on fuzzy programming approach. This method and the traditional method was compared and analysed through simulation software. Design and evaluation of a new intersection model to minimize congestions using VISSIM software |. The study by [22] compared the performance Entrance A to the intersection is three-lane (left, straight of SimTraffic and VISSIM simulation tool in modelling and right lane), other B, C and D entrances are two-lane. There is a wide choice of simulation tools, but one of the most widespread softwares used for micro-simulation modelling in transport is VISSIM This is due to its very good performance and outputs quality.
