The various Advantages of an area traffic control system are
- Minimizing journey time for vehicles- Are traffic control system
minimize the overall journey time by reducing the no of stop delays, increasing
the average travel speed etc.
- Reducing accidents- Are traffic control system reduces the no of
accident by reducing the congestion as congestion is less the traffic flow will
be smooth so accident also will be less.
- Increasing average saving in fuel- As we discussed above that it
will minimize the journey time, accident, congestion, stop delays so we can
easily say that average saving in fuel will increase and traffic flow also will
be safe and smooth.
The various disadvantages of an area traffic control system are
- Very costly- Area traffic control is a very advanced traffic
control strategy it involve very advanced technology and highly skilled persons
to operate the system to control the traffic which makes it very costly.
- Very complex- Area traffic control system is a very big system
which includes many unites in it like Vehicle Detectors, Intersection
Controller, Communication Network, Application Software, Central (Regional)
Control System.
These unit is use to perform different-different task for the system.
These unit and task make it very complex.
- Suitable only for lane following traffic- In area traffic
control system we use vehicle detector to collect the data to find the actual
flow and to get signal timing according to the present condition of traffic.
These vehicle detectors detect the vehicle on the basis of lane.
For example we are collecting data for tow lane road then the detectors will
able to detect the vehicle which will come from their respective lane and the
vehicle which is using space other than these two lanes cannot be detected.
So data will not be accurate.
So we can say that it will give best result only for lane following traffic.
