Abstract
The paper discusses a new approach to ensuring the safety of controlled intersections. In the course of research, the authors found a change in the main characteristics of the traffic flow, which requires constant monitoring in the implementation of the intersection control using a traffic light. The heterogeneity of the composition of the traffic flow is determined and the influence of this parameter on the duration of the resolving signal is established. In addition, the authors determined the influence of weather conditions on the duration of the traffic light cycle and developed an approach to take into account changes in this factor in the calculation of the mode of operation of the traffic light object. As a result of the model experiment, the economic and environmental efficiency of the developed approach is determined. The results obtained in the course of the study are an integral part in the implementation of intelligent transport systems, which confirms the relevance and feasibility of the study. The use of this approach, in addition to integration into the its system, allows to reduce the accident rate of controlled intersections due to the rational distribution of the time of the traffic light object and reduce vehicle delays on the approaches, which together ensures the safety of regulated areas.

Today, we all face transport problems that are common to many world countries
In the Russian Federation to solve the transport problems of developed transport strategy and transport program [1,2], which are designed for long-term period up to 2030 and 2020, respectively, due to the fact that the decision is not defined local actions and targeted incremental stages
The goals of the state program reflect the final results of solving transport problems of the Russian Federation socio-economic development for the period up to 2020 [3] and EU [4] In order to further the modernization of the transport system in 2011, the EU adopted a special road map [5], which includes the main directions of development of transport infrastructure of EU Member States and covers the period until 2050
Summary
We all face transport problems that are common to many world countries. Every year, government funding is allocated to solve these problems, and targeted programs are developed to partially reduce traffic accidents. In the Russian Federation to solve the transport problems of developed transport strategy and transport program [1,2], which are designed for long-term period up to 2030 and 2020, respectively, due to the fact that the decision is not defined local actions and targeted incremental stages. The key solution to the issue of transport problem is the introduction of intelligent transport systems. In this regard, it is necessary to develop traffic safety methods at regulated intersections that can be integrated into ITS [6]
