The Concept of the Method for Dynamic Control of Traffic Flows on Multi-lane Roads Based on Configurable Information Systems

The random nature of the occurrence of road congestion has a negative impact on the capacity of the road network. Such congestion occurs at the delay points-sections of the road network on which the vehicle has to stop or slow down. Effective control of the capacity of delay points, thus, can be considered an important and urgent scientific problem. Despite the variety of effective methods of assessing the road situation, traffic routing, and road network planning, the task of dynamic control of capacity is not solved in a complex manner. Also an important aspect is the lack of effective means of mass informing the participants of road traffic on ways to avoid congestion. The random character (both spatial and temporal) of the appearance of delay points, in turn, requires the creation of automated control methods based on configurable information systems. The article presents the concept of a method for managing the movement of traffic flows, based on the elimination of the delay point by means of information technology.
