Abstract

An increase in the number of vehicles results in higher traffic flow intensity and density, which affects the emergence of an inefficient, congested and potentially dangerous traffic regime. Under such conditions, the management of individual vehicles does not provide effective control over the functioning of the transport system as a whole. In addition, the modern needs to adapt to growing demand through the implementation of intelligent control subsystems capable of monitoring, analyzing, and performing real-time traffic control.
The growth in the intensity and density of traffic flows affects the likelihood of traffic accidents and congestion and, as a result, increases travel time. Therefore, there is a need to create a specialized control subsystem capable of managing traffic flows, analyzing them, assessing the current state of the transport system, and predicting further developments. To create such a subsystem, it is necessary to analyze and study traffic flows in more detail, create a simulation model to understand the problem and the algorithm of actions to solve it.
The article substantiates the necessity of creating such a subsystem for the sections of highway approaches to large and major cities. The stages of building a traffic simulation model are presented, the principles of the control process of algorithmization are considered, as well as the use of PTV VISSIM software for real-time simulation.
