Abstract

In the recent paper, authors have considered a problem of controlling an oversaturated intersection in real time and developed a mathematical model based on fuzzy logic. The model was tested on an oversaturate “T” intersection and we obtained solutions with less control delay in comparison to the “fixed time” model. First, we will present the basic concepts of those results. In the rest of the paper, we apply a similar technique to develop a model for controlling a diverging diamond interchange – a type of diamond interchange in which the two directions of traffic on the non-freeway road cross to the opposite side on both sides of the bridge at the freeway. This type of interchange was developed in the 1970s in France but since 2009. it has been implemented in many different locations, above all in the USA.

Highlights

  • Nowadays, even more than in the last few decades, the problem of traffic congestion is present throughout the world

  • Some of them include the control of the operation of traffic signals and when it is possible building new roads, such as Diamond Interchange (DDI)

  • We present the control of the operation of the traffic signals on a new, innovative type of road

Summary

Introduction

Even more than in the last few decades, the problem of traffic congestion is present throughout the world. In large cities, this problem affects various aspects of every day’s life. The negative consequences of traffic congestion from the point of view of traffic engineers are primarily time losses by traffic participants. The authorities in many districts propose many measures and strategies to reduce traffic congestion. Some of them include the control of the operation of traffic signals and when it is possible building new roads, such as DDI. We present the control of the operation of the traffic signals on a new, innovative type of road
