Abstract

The electrical analogue model for the analysis and optimization of traffic flows in the urban road network has been improved. Implementation method for the simulation model, which is aimed at the increase of throughput capacity of the road network by means of redistribution of the congestion levels of different sections, has been proposed. Key aspects of the electrical simulation and optimization of the traffic flows in the urban environment were explored, having taken a real fragment of Kyiv urban road network as an example for verification. Optimization is achieved by redistributing traffic flows within the road network sections in order to unload congested areas and ensure uniform load of the road network of the city as a whole. It is shown that the proposed optimization method using a simulation electrical analogue model can be an important component for determining the conditions for the rational organization of the functioning of traffic flows on the urban road networks.
