Abstract

Zbog sve veće prometne potražnje u urbanim sredinama pojavljuje se sve više prometnih problema poput prometnih zagušenja u vrijeme vršnog sata. Implementacijom Inteligentnih Transportnih Sustava (ITS) moguće je neke od tih problema riješiti. Prilikom razvoja takvih sustava potrebna je simulacijska okolina u kojoj se sustav može prilagoditi stvarnim situacijama. U praksi je gotovo ne moguće testirati i razvijati prometne sustave unutar stvarne prometne mreže pa se u tu svrhu mogu koristiti simulacijski alati za simuliranje prometne mreže. U ovom radu je simuliran i analiziran prometni koridor od tri povezana semaforizirana raskrižja u mikrosimulacijskom alatu VISSIM uz korištenje programskog paketa MATLAB za implementaciju algoritma upravljanja raskrižjima. Iz rezultata je vidljivo da se kroz simulaciju urbane prometne mreže mogu razvijati i testirati sustavi adaptivnog upravljanja signalnim planovima semaforiziranog raskrižja.

Abstract (english)

Due to increasing traffic demand in urban areas, more and more traffic problems like traffic congestion during peak hours are appearing. By implementation of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) it is possible to solve some of those problems. During development of such systems, a simulation environment is needed which will allow testing of the developed systems in realistic situations. In practice, it is nearly impossible to test and develop traffic systems inside a real traffic network so it is necessary to use simulation tools to simulate the traffic network. In this research, a traffic corridor with three connected signalised intersections is simulated in micro-simulator PTV VISSIM with the use of MATLAB software package for implementation of the control. From the results, it is visible that it is possible to develop and test adaptive control systems for intersections with traffic lights by simulating urban traffic networks.
