Traffic light control: **** click the following tabs for more information

• Simulation
• How to play it
• Observation

Would you like to engineer the traffic light system for a one-way street that consists of several lanes along which rush-hour traffic flows?
How would you time the onset of green lights at the various intersection?
How to promote the traffic flow? This java applet let you play with it.

Due to java version changes, this simulation become very slow.
Please check out Ejs version of traffic control simulation

Due to so many requests from the users, source code for this applet is distributed with the ZIP files you will receive if you click get file for offline use button. It is also available as attached file. Please do not ask me to send you the source code again, help yourself-- it is just a click away!




You are welcomed to check out Ejs version of traffic control simulation,too.

1. The traffic lights at interactions are for cars moving from left to right. The traffic on the perpendicular streets can only move when light is RED.


2. You can change the period of each light


1. clicking the traffic light at the top-left cornor
2. the number near each color is the period for that particular light (second)
3. left/right mouse click will decrease/increase one second
( for MAC user, click between light and number to the right to increase the length of time)


3. parameter controls
   each click to the arrow at left/right of the number will decrease/increase
   the parameter by 1 unit.


1. delay time
   control near the traffic light controls the delay of the onset of green light at the interaction relative to that at prevous ntersection.
2. max Velocity control represents the speed limit¡]Vmin=5, Vmax= 50¡^
3. acceleration control represents the acceleration for the car when it speeds up.¡]Amin=1 , Amax=20¡^


4. TextField values


1. T¡Gtime in second after pressing the start button
2. N1/N2/flow rate¡G total number of cars passes intersection (N1:left-right/N2:up-down)
   flow rate=(N1+N2/3.)/T
3. n1/n2/flow rate¡G number of cars passes intersection during last minute.
   flow rate=(n1+n2/3.)/60




5. Color code for car
1. yellow: accelerating (A>0.)
2. green: moving with constant speed (include stopped) A=0.
3. red: stopping (A<0.)




6. Velocity of each car is represented by a blue dot.


7. A new function has been added to help you determine the delay time between traffic lights.
   Click the right mouse button to suspend (the animation).
   The time intervals (for the first car ) during which the signals are green/yellow/red
are represented by thin (colored)lines at one side of the road.


A blue curve represent x-t (displacement verse time) for the first car is shown.
Use that curve with those color intervals to adjust the delay time between
traffic lights. Click the right mouse button again to resume.

1. Suppose a platoon is stopped at interaction. When the green light comes on, there is a "start-up wave" travels from the leader along the length of the platoon at a speed v_s.
2. How to adjust parameters to increase the traffic flow?
1. adjust timing of each light
2. adjust delay time control
3. adjust Vmax
4. adjust A(acceleration)

Think of it! Play with it! I hope you do learn some physics from this applet.

If you click the right mouse button in the simulation, you will see a curve similar to the following figure (Hints to adjust the traffic flow)

Applet latest updated: 2009/12/25

I have created another version of traffic light control applet with EJS and you can view how it was implemented with EJS(You can find the code).

Please download the last trafficControl.java if you want latest version code (2009 Dec. 25).

Hello all,

I am on here wondering if anyone reading this know where I can find a website that will teach me how to read a caliper. I need to learn this for a job I am applying for.

Sincerely

Robert

[xingweiping]

Thanks so much for sharing the source code with us. actually we currently have a group project which is very similar to this, but we just totaly have no idea about it. until I found your site via google. what a day! your applet is very inspirational and we are so enlighted! :idea:

[karthik_kotee]

sir could i get the source code(.java file) for the traffic system

[vipin_ajmera]

plz can u give me source code of traffic light system

[Fu-Kwun Hwang]

Both of you you have received the source code in your email account.

[lopa]

Sir/mam,
plz give me the source code of this applet,using this topics,traffic light system.
ok, thanks,

[primanox]

I love this simulation. You did an excellent job! Could you please send me the source code? I would really like to see how you accomplished this. Thank you!

[hadi_telkom]

your traffic simulatioin is very good
may I get it, please.............

[wurakeem]

I like your simulation.
is it possible to have the source code?

thanks.

[joe]

This is a very good simulation.
I like it very much.
May I take the source code please?

[Fu-Kwun Hwang]

Source code has been sent.

[lifeline]

hi,
it was gud to see ur traffic simulator . I would like to learn how u did it . Could u plz mail me the code .

Thanks.
