INCREASING URBAN INTERSECTION CAPACITY: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL APPROACHES

Abstract

This article addresses the issues of efficient traffic management and increasing the throughput capacity of urban streets. Particular attention is given to the interaction between traffic intensity, vehicle flow density, and traffic signal cycle duration at signal-controlled intersections. The possibilities of enhancing roadway capacity through coordinated signal control systems are examined using mathematical expressions, graphical nomograms, and empirical data. Furthermore, the article explores vehicle movement patterns, queue discharge intervals, and their dependence on traffic flow composition. The study provides both theoretical and practical foundations for urban transport system design and planning.
