Sažetak
In urban areas one of the most important causes of pollution (that directly affects climate changes and air quality) is traffic, considering that almost 50% of delays are produced on signalized intersections. Modern methods for the reduction of the exhaust emission are focused on advanced traffic control in order to decrease travel times and the number of stop-and-go actions. In this research, the application of adaptive traffic control on signalized intersections is considered and a simulation model of demonstration corridor in the city of Zagreb was made (with real traffic data implemented in the model). The main goal of this research is to demonstrate the significance of adaptive traffic control on the road vehicles energy efficiency. The algorithms used to address optimization in harmonization and increasing of traffic flow was made. This method outperforms traditional fixed cycle management of intersections, which use predetermined green time split. The case study illustrates the benefits of using adaptive control algorithm, which controls green time splits on demand. The impact of adaptive traffic control is measured on two scenarios – fixed control and adaptive control and their comparison on a signalized grid of seven intersections. The expected benefits are: increased vehicle speed ; reduced fuel consumption ; exhaust emission and average delays.
