Yevchuk Y. Justification of traffic light control modes considering the priority for public transport

The dissertation is devoted to the study of regularities in traffic flows on arterial streets with traffic lights. With the constant growth of traffic volume, and thus the volume-capacity ratio on the road network, the time spent by residents moving around the city is also increasing. As it is becoming increasingly difficult to meet the demand for private motorized transport in cities, much attention is being focused on increasing the attractiveness of public transport, which includes giving it priority, introducing new approaches to infrastructure arrangement and designing automated traffic control systems. This task is especially relevant for cities with an already formed road network that has limited capacity for expansion. The research examines transport and road planning factors, as well as indicators of road users during different periods of the most intense traffic and their impact on the reliability of the arterial road network and the efficiency of traffic signal control. The research methodology is based on: theoretical analysis of various factors that determine the capacity of the road network, traffic conditions, including public transport, and the formation of delays; mass experimental measurements of traffic and passenger flows, the duration of public transport service at stopping points; simulation modeling of the traffic process with different indicators of its participants and time parameters of traffic lights. The results of the dissertation can be used to take into account the need for public transport in the calculation of traffic control modes, including adaptive traffic control; clarify approaches to the implementation of coordinated traffic control systems on streets with public transport; applying methods of simulation modeling of traffic flows in urbanized spaces, taking into account the interaction of private and public transport in the vicinity of signalized intersections.
