SIMULATION OF THE ADVANCE TIME OF PERMISSIVE TRAFFIC SIGNAL ACTIVATION FOLLOWING THE COORDINATION PLAN ON ARTERIALS: PLAN OF THE EXPERIMENT

The paper presents a methodology for evaluating the accuracy of analytical models for determining the advance time of a traffic light at the next intersection in coordination. The presented analytical models are based on the assumptions of a constant average and linearly decreasing acceleration of vehicles when moving from the stop line of the intersection. As a tool for comparing analytical models with the real characteristics of the transport process, it is proposed to use the traffic micromodeling tool – PTV VISSIM. The developed plan of the simulation experiment is to determine the advance time of the traffic signal in coordination and consider the specific conditions of the transport process for the selected object of study. It is the basis for obtaining the starting values of the advance time.
