Synchronous Framework Extended for Complex Intersections

EasyChair Preprint 6183, version 1

Abstract

Intelligent intersection management systems are an integral part of Smart Cities and have a profound impact in urban traffic management. In a previous work, the authors proposed a specific Intelligent Intersection Management Architecture (IIMA) with the associated Synchronous Intersection Management Protocol (SIMP) for simple single-lane isolated intersections that outperformed other competing protocols in throughput, time loss and polluting emissions. IIMA/SIMP supports both autonomous and human-driven vehicles. This paper extends such work to more complex multi-lane intersections, comparing against traditional and intelligent intersection management approaches. Simulation results achieved with SUMO confirm the advantages of IIMA/SIMP even in complex intersections, improving throughput, average speed, waiting time, trip time loss, and associated fuel consumption.

Keyphrases: Complex Intersections., Complex intersections, Intelligent Intersection Management, Intelligent Transportation System, Intersection management, Smart Cities, Time Loss, average travel time loss, complex multi lane intersection, intelligent intersection management architecture, intersection throughput, synchronous intersection management protocol
