Managing traffic and pedestrian flows at an intersection: simulation model parameters

Abstract

The article highlights and justifies the input parameters for the simulation model of an intersection. The purpose of building the model is to predict and evaluate the results for reducing traffic and pedestrian downtime. The object of the study is an intersection located in the Pokrovskoe-Streshnevo area of the Northwest District of Moscow (55°49'35.9 "N37°27'08.0 "E). The authors structured and analyzed traffic flows passing through the intersection. The frequency of public transport, the location of nearby stops of such transport, and the phases of traffic lights were determined. Also, the parameters for the simulation scenarios are defined.
