Comparison between traffic light models for a road mesh in Manaus using SUMO

Abstract

This work aims to make a comparison between types of traffic lights control for the Mario Ypiranga Monteiro avenue in Manaus using the traffic simulation software SUMO. The avenue has a very high flow of vehicles and the intervention proposed by the project aims to improve traffic in the region through the implementation of flexible traffic light progression. The road mesh was built in the simulator, with the data provided by the Municipal Institute of Traffic Engineering and Surveillance, a serie of simulations were made until finding the appropriate parameters and tabulating the performance data of the different strategies. Analyzing the simulations and tabulated data, it can be seen a significant advantage using traffic signal progression to the road mesh.
