Abstract

The article describes the results of the research, whose goal is to assess the effectiveness of the traffic light operation at crossroads with unstable transport demand in terms of time and directions. The modern way of cities development consists in creation of sustainable, and, hence, safe, harmless and comfortable environment for residing. This determines the separation of urban and industrial areas, the creation of transport infrastructure, in particular crossroads, which are equipped with traffic lights. As a rule, it is characterized by unstable transport demand in the direction of entry and exit from the territory of enterprises, which causes an inadvertent increase in the idle time of vehicles in the main direction. In the course of experimental studies, the authors found that the crossroads under consideration are parts of the road network that connect the industrial and urban areas, which causes a high traffic intensity in the main areas. At the same time, the share of ineffective resolving phase for entry and exit from the territory of the enterprise reaches 70-80%, which increases the idle time of vehicles in the main direction. The authors proposed an indicator that characterizes the proportion of inefficient operation of the traffic signal.

Summary

Introduction

At the same time, according to the Federal State Statistics Service, the density of roads has increased by 11.5%, which indicates a lag in the development of the road network. This causes an increase in the time of vehicle delays, and, a decrease in the level of comfort in urban areas. The solution of this problem is the sustainable development of a safe, eco-friendly and comfortable urban environment, which necessitates the separation of industrial and urban areas, the development of the transport infrastructure that connects these areas and the reduction in the number of road accidents 7-10.
