Because of the increasing density of the traffic flow in urban areas there is a need for optimal performance of traffic lights. In this paper we will describe an existing approach of reinforcement learning applied to the optimization of traffic light configurations, and introduce a new approach. Our approach uses implicit cooperation between traffic lights, letting cars take into account the tr...

Simulation of traffic control is very important nowadays for dealing with increasing urban traffic. It helps to construct the strategy of traffic lights switching and determine alternative path in the case of an accident or traffic jam. In the paper we present the application of simulation tool DYNASIM being used by French company DYNALOGIC. It has big number of alternative possibilities in mod...

The road accident in the present era is increased to greater extent. The loss of human life due to accident must be avoided. Traffic congestion and tidal flow are major facts that cause delay to ambulance. In order to save human life from accidents we introduce a scheme called ITLS (Intelligent Traffic Light system).The main concept behind this scheme is to provide a smooth flow for the emergen...

Traffic flow on a unidirectional roadway in the presence of traffic lights is modeled. Individual car responses to green, yellow, and red lights are postulated and these result in rules governing the acceleration and deceleration of individual cars. The essence of the model is that only specific cars are directly affected by the lights. The other cars behave according to simple follow-the-leade...
