Abstract
A large number of vehicles in cities has a significant negative impact on the environmental situation. Today, economic measures are actively applied to reduce the number of vehicles used with internal combustion engines, and new technical solutions are being introduced to reduce exhaust toxicity. However, the potential of these approaches to improving the environmental situation in cities is very limited and has already been almost fully realized. Therefore, the huge potential to minimize environmental damage, in an increasing number of vehicles in large cities, is to optimize the parameters of traffic flows. The key role here is played by the scheme of traffic light control, to the consideration of the optimality parameters of which this work is devoted.

Road transport has a huge impact on the ecology of the urban environment
The same can be said about the abrasion of the brake pads of cars – their composition is no longer used asbestos, harsh operating conditions do not allow to use for their manufacture only environmentally friendly materials
The abrasion of tires and brake pads is not affected, and the only way to minimize these negative environmental processes is to optimize the organization of traffic in the city
Summary
Road transport has a huge impact on the ecology of the urban environment. This is confirmed by expert estimates of environmental monitoring data of urban areas, and it is about emissions of combustion products of motor fuel. The greatest influence here is the number and intensity of cycles of acceleration and deceleration of the traffic flow in the considered section of the urban road network. Electric cars appear on the roads of cities, and the total share of such environmentally friendly transport is steadily growing. The abrasion of tires and brake pads is not affected, and the only way to minimize these negative environmental processes is to optimize the organization of traffic in the city
