Simulation of Green-Wave Traffic Control System in RoadNetworks
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
Trafficcongestions at intersections cause delay, which leads to economic losses in travel time, vehicle operating costs and environmental pollution from vehicular emissions. Vehicles moving through several traffic signal-controlled intersections mostly experience very high travel-times as they have to stop at almost every intersection on the path to destinations. This inefficient traffic flow is mainly caused by lack of coordination between adjacent traffic signal controls. The simulation and execution of four traffic signalcontrolled intersections network with a coordinated traffic flow called green wave, and without green wave were compared using the R-package software. With varying traffic specifications of distances covered, vehicle velocities and traffic volumes, the green wave traffic signal control system in the road-network significantly minimizes the travel times of vehicles when compared with the same traffic conditions but without green wave. The result also shows that the application of green wave technology is feasible and efficient on any traffic signal-controlled road network.
