Abstract

A large number of vehicles in cities has a significant negative impact on the environmental situation. Today, economic measures are actively applied to reduce the number of vehicles used with internal combustion engines, and new technical solutions are being introduced to reduce exhaust toxicity. However, the potential of these approaches to improving the environmental situation in cities is very limited and has already been almost fully realized. Therefore, the huge potential to minimize environmental damage, in an increasing number of vehicles in large cities, is to optimize the parameters of traffic flows. The key role here is played by the scheme of traffic light control, to the consideration of the optimality parameters of which this work is devoted.
