Comparison of a saturation flow method and an expert system to optimise traffic crossroads control

In this paper, we will focus on comparing the two methods for optimisation of intersection control. The first method is a saturation flow method, the second method is an expert system that divides the time for each vehicle a given crossing direction based on expert knowledge. For both methods, simulations are created based on real data of a selected crossroad in the city of Ostrava. Based on these simulations, the methods are compared. Subsequently, the comparison is evaluated together with a description of the advantages and disadvantages of the individual methods. The comparison is provided based on real traffic data of a selected crossroad in the city of Ostrava.
