Abstract
The model car transport system is a laboratory intended for a practical development in the area of the motor traffic. It is also an important education tool for students’ hands-on training, enabling students to test the results of their own studies. The main part of the model car transportation network is a model in a ratio 1:87 (HO), based on component units of FALLER Car system, e.g. cars, traffic lights, carriage way, parking spaces, stop sections, branch-off junctions, sensors and control sections. The model enables to simulate real traffic situations. It includes a motor traffic in a city, in a small village, on a carriageway between a city and a village including a railway crossing. The traffic infrastructure includes different kinds of intersections, such as T-junctions, a classic four-way crossroad and four-way traffic circle, with and without traffic lights control. Another important part of the model is a segment of a highway which includes an elevated crossing with highway approaches and exits.
Highlights
With a constant growth of people mobility, expansion of cities infrastructure, increase in traffic flow, traffic density in the cities, the efficient traffic management systems are rather crucial
The preliminary system simulation and testing in laboratory conditions with implementation of real traffic data is safe and provides feasible results that can be used for timely corrections and improvement in traffic management schemes
Rather crucial for smart city technologies is testing newly developed telematic systems on real traffic data which can be realized within the suggested model[2, 3]
Summary
With a constant growth of people mobility, expansion of cities infrastructure, increase in traffic flow, traffic density in the cities, the efficient traffic management systems are rather crucial. Telematic systems are used in city planning, transport management, parking solutions, operation of logistics and municipal services, organization of urban space, implementation of sustainable energy sources. It can as well as be comprised under an umbrella term, the smart city initiative, and it is approached from the view of different disciplines including technical, economic, humanitarian, legal etc. There are many advantages of performing traffic studies in safe laboratory conditions These include possibility of simulating the enforcement of services work in emergency situations, simulating dangerous human behavior in traffic with a high density, dangerous road sections or on high-speed roads, planning safer routes for dangerous goods transportation, efficient city traffic planning including city municipal transport, parking areas, better overview of city safety in general etc.
