Study of the Impact of Traffic Light Regulation on the Efficiency of Tram Traffic

The article presents the results of a study on factors affecting the efficiency of tram traffic in the urban agglomeration of Minsk. The main focus is on the analysis of delays at regulated intersections, as well as time costs associated with tram stops at stations. A predictive model of tram arrival times at traffic light objects (TLOs) has been developed based on statistical analysis and mathematical modeling. A direct correlation between tram dwell time at stations and passenger exchange intensity has also been identified. The results of the study have practical significance for improving the efficiency of tram network operations, including adjustments to traffic light cycles, schedule optimization, and planning of new routes.
