Controle adaptativo de interseções: uma implementação apoiada por uma ferramenta de simulação para o cenário de transportes

Abstract

This work proposes the implementation and evaluation of different policies to intersection control concerning vehicles in transportation networks. The evaluation was conducted in order to compare and investigate which policy is more appropriate regarding equitability, for each defined traffic state. First of all, a road network was constructed with two routes and an intersection, and different traffic states were defined based on the priority of a given route from another, the flow rate of each route, finally, the maximum speed that vehicles traveling on each route may achieve. Then different policies to intersection control were implemented with support of computational simulation. Lastly, policies were applied to each state of traffic flow defined in the simulation. According to the experiments, it can be concluded that different policies are more appropriate for each defined state of traffic flow, regarding equitability. Likewise, it was observed that a given policy can be more appropriate in distributing a state of traffic flow and less appropriate with regard to another state, indicating that hybrid policies still need to be proposed and analyzed. SUMO is a specific simulator for transportation networks used as the simulation tool.
