Traffic lights play an important role at every intersection in minimizing congestion, especially intersections three and four. Today, the most common setting for traffic involves a fixed time. This pattern applies throughout day, although density of vehicles each crossing is different. As result, jams on one side are often unavoidable. Based these problems, this study adaptive light control sys...

Due to several reasons, changing conditions in the environment do not always lead to changes in the traffic control units. The hypothesis of this research is that it may be useful to make use of self evaluating and self organising intelligent (urban) traffic control systems. In this research we focus on the applicability of autonomous intelligent agents within urban traffic control (i.e. traffi...

The complex behavior that occurs when traffic lights are synchronized is studied. Two strategies are considered: all lights in phase, and a "green wave" with a propagating green signal. It is found that traffic variables such as traveling time, velocity, and fuel consumption, near resonance, follow critical scaling laws. For the green wave, it is shown that time and velocity scaling laws hold e...

Traffic violations on the highway by motorists lead to accidents. The majority of traffic are in form signs, such as prohibitions stopping and parking certain places, violating lights breaking through red lights, others. Inspections motorized vehicles road police officers or operations fact law enforcement who provide more criminal sanctions fines than imprisonment (imprisonment) for violate re...

The U.S. railroad system is made up of over 700 railroads operating on 140,000 miles of track, with more than 130,000 at-grade public railway-highway crossings, or intersections in which any part of a roadway intersects with railroad tracks. Safety at these railroad-highway grade crossings and the related traffic control devices used to communicate with drivers is of major concern. There are th...

Many studies in the context of traffic simulation investigate effects of new regulation strategies on travel times. However, in most cases it is assumed, that these regulations are followed by all actors. This work investigates the effects of non-compliance of simulated road user agents. In particular it is analyzed to what extent rule breaking agents have advantages on the cost of the remainin...
