Advanced method of detection of unnecessary conflicts of traffic flows
Relations between the traffic flows in intersections are one of the causes of reduced throughput. Avoiding the unnecessary conflicts and reduction of breakage of traffic flows are one of the possible significant factors that may favorably affect the increase in intersection capacity. Relationships among the traffic flows in the form of unnecessary conflicts occur mainly at intersections, and also on roads between intersections, and are caused by the organization and direction of traffic flow in the network. For advanced identification of unnecessary intersections, modern IT solutions are used as a novelty approach in research and visualisation of this phenomenon. The goal of this research is to create a computer tool based on open source technologies that use data stored in a GIS environment about the movement of the users within the transport network for identification of unnecessary conflicts by monitoring the flow of vehicles and deviations in speed. Further development and research will be focused on creating algorithms for automatic identification of unnecessary conflicts based on gathered input data.
