GREEN LIGHT FOR ISA?: EFFECT OF INTELLIGENT SPEED ADAPTION ON TRAFFIC FLOWS

Intelligent Speed Adapt ion (ISA) is a system that limits vehicles at the speed limit. Research in Sweden, England and the Netherlands has shown that it has a positive impact on safety. The current study compares traffic flows under ISA with those in the presence of regular traffic lights. The model results show that ISA is able to replace traffic lights at crossroads with a clear main flow. This important positive effect will improve the support for ISA, which was originally designed for safety reasons. (A) For the covering abstract of the conference see ITRD E206647.
