As the title implies the article describes using simulation modeling of traffic flows by example on the highway section – Moskovsky Avenue in Kharkiv.
The main goal of the research is the introduction of simulation modeling methods for calculating the parameters of traffic light cycles and determination the parameters to assess the quality of traffic light regulation, in case of the control of traffic flows on the highway.
The use of modern approaches of simulation modeling allowed to obtain the estimation characteristics of the quality of traffic flow control in change the parameters of traffic signal, also the parameters of traffic flows in a virtual environment, for the successful implementation of the proposed measures. The developed model with the help of the Road Traffic Library, software “Any Logic”, allowed to reduce the optimal values of traffic light control cycles at intersections of the considered section of the highway. As an estimate criterion, was proposed to use the average time spent vehicles in the network. The research results can be applied by experts in the field of Traffic Management and transport planning in solving the problems of definition the optimal traffic light phases for the implementation of coordinated control on the highway streets.
It is proposed to use simulation models that allow to become a good tool for making decisions in the field of traffic management on a highway by finding the optimal values of traffic light control cycles and its components, taking into account changes in the intensity and speed of traffic flow.
