The effects of intelligent traffic light on the crossing traffic flow
智能交通灯对交叉路口交通流的影响

Using the improved NaSch traffic model, we simulate the traffic flow on the crossroad under open boundary condition. The simulations are controled by ordinary traffic light and intelligent traffic light respectively. The results show that the average speed and the traffic flux under control of the later are greater than that controled by the former. Moreover, the vehicles controled by intelligent traffic light can cut down the unnecessary waiting time.
