TARQUINO TORRES, Fernando Mauricio. The Lima Traffic Light Network Operations and Management System. Ind. data [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.2, pp.93-118.  Epub 20-Dic-2023. ISSN 1560-9146.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/idata.v26i2.24038.

The research problem arose from the need to implement a system to remotely manage the traffic operations of the network of traffic lights to reduce vehicular congestion. The procedure involved designing the placement of electronic sensors to track the number of vehicles in the area. This allowed for the testing of different operational strategies for modifying the timing of the traffic light signals. A simulation model was used to test these strategies in seven intersections on Av. Petit Thouars in Lima, between Av. Alejandro Tirado and Av. 28 de Julio. Detectors were installed at the access points of secondary access streets to the main road (Av. Petit Thouars) which yielded cumulative positive results. Alternatives 1 and 2 produced a 59% reduction in queues, thus demonstrating the validity of the general hypothesis.

Palabras clave : actuated traffic signal timing; vehicular congestion estimation; intelligent systems.
