Modeling and Optimization of Traffic Flow in Urban Areas - Czech ...

64 Chapter 6 Conclusionsoptimal under considered criterion. The solution of this problem is solved bythe TORSCHE. The performance of all depicted models and optimizationstechniques was evaluated in simulations and compared with real data fromthe traffic in Prague.The contributions of the thesis are summarized in Section 1.2. In ouropinion, the main contributions are:1. Formalization of the traffic intersection model (extended by the meanwaiting time) used to drivers waiting time balancing.2. CCPN based general light controlled intersection model verified on realdata.3. Algorithm for optimization of light controlled intersection traffic urbanregion.6.2 Future ResearchCurrent work aims at incorporating several intersections based on CCPNinto a complex traffic region model. In order to model the traffic with higherprecision (i.e. incorporating logarithmic stream model capturing the outputflow as non-monotonic function of the flow density) we are developing a modelbased on continuous Petri Nets. As future work we would like to includeadditional practical constraints to the problem (e.g., supervisory systemsperforming high-level optimization on the model).
