Measures to ensure road traffic safety on controlled intersections

Abstract

The paper discusses a new approach to ensuring the safety of controlled intersections. In the course of research, the authors found a change in the main characteristics of the traffic flow, which requires constant monitoring in the implementation of the intersection control using a traffic light. The heterogeneity of the composition of the traffic flow is determined and the influence of this parameter on the duration of the resolving signal is established. In addition, the authors determined the influence of weather conditions on the duration of the traffic light cycle and developed an approach to take into account changes in this factor in the calculation of the mode of operation of the traffic light object. As a result of the model experiment, the economic and environmental efficiency of the developed approach is determined. The results obtained in the course of the study are an integral part in the implementation of intelligent transport systems, which confirms the relevance and feasibility of the study. The use of this approach, in addition to integration into the its system, allows to reduce the accident rate of controlled intersections due to the rational distribution of the time of the traffic light object and reduce vehicle delays on the approaches, which together ensures the safety of regulated areas.
