Implementation of a hybrid method for optimizing traffic light phases using Anylogic

Abstract

Traffic light interval signals have been operating according to the same pattern for many years. Small towns do not create traffic control units due to high costs. The operation of a traffic light is limited to several modes or has constant values of the temporary duration of traffic light phases throughout the day, which makes it difficult to organize traffic during times of high traffic loads on the road network. An algorithm is proposed for optimizing the traffic light phases of traffic flows at a T-shaped intersection depending on the traffic load on the network, which changes during the day. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by numerical experiment.
