Coordination of Traffic in Two-Way Street Networks

The coordination problem of traffic in two-way street networks is formulated and solved by segment decomposition in the paper. The relationships between new general characteristics of traffic coordination, such as lack of synchronism in segments and reserve time on intersections of linear and nonlinear open and closed street networks are derived and studied. The theoretical considerations are illustrated by real application, by means of so called time windows, in area traffic control and management system in Poznań. The results of sociological research on perception of ITS solutions in Poznań system and its influence on driver behavior are also presented.
