| description | This paper examines how the unidirectional alignment of a selected street affects traffic load at nearby signal-controlled intersections. Using the Aimsun 8 simulation model, the intersections in the city of Topoľčany were evaluated. A simulation model was created based on a traffic survey conducted by video detection at selected signal-controlled intersections. Both the negative and positive impacts of this modification were analyzed. This study shows a significant deterioration in the traffic situation. This paper further investigates the improvement achieved through corrective measures such as implementing an actuated control plan, modifying signal plans, and coordinating traffic flows. The results show the effectiveness of these measures in reducing congestion and improving traffic flow. They also serve as a foundation for optimizing traffic systems and implementing measures to improve urban mobility. |
