Keywords: coordinated traffic lights, junction’s stop line, signalized intersections, traffic flows, traffic model

Abstract: Traffic in large cities is increasing due to continuous urbanization, the construction of new housing complexes and the accompanying new street network. The growth of cities creates prerequisites for increasing the intensity of transport, pedestrian, and bicycle flows, especially during peak periods. To improve the conditions in which traffic flows, it is necessary to introduce an effective method for reducing delays that arise at intersections, especially those regulated by traffic light systems. One of the possible approaches to this is to coordinate the operation of traffic light systems. The main thing in this is to determine relatively accurate times for the movement of individual flows, for which adequate traffic models are needed. This article presents a model of the movement of transport flows when starting from the first intersection in a coordinated mode of operation of traffic light systems. This is of particular importance when determining the times of individual signals and, above all, has an impact on the moment for switching on the permitting signal at the next intersection. The presented model aims to provide an opportunity to determine accurate times of passage of vehicles through consecutive intersections that operate in a coordinated mode of traffic light systems.
