Review article

The article deals with the problem of algorithmization of traffic light control in conditions of saturated traffic (exhaustion of traffic capacities of intersections). A fundamental algorithm is proposed for controlling the amount of time lost by drivers with reference to the level of service. The regulation mode is optimized by changing the durations of the enabling and inhibiting signals. The measure of influence on the access to the intersection is determined by the deviation of the amount of time lost on it from the average value of time loss on all accesses.
