CHAPTER 5. SIMULATION RESULTS

Figure 5.24: Wetstraat - Optim controller. At 7 am there is a high peak
there is not much traffic and the threshold is reached after a longer period of time.
For a high traffic density a higher value of θ gives better results, but for low traffic
density a lower θ is best.
The sotl-platoon controller can be changed to check the traffic density and
adjust its own parameters depending on the current traffic density.
The results
The results are shown in different graphs, one for each controller. The graphs
show a relation between the time of day and the average value of ATWT at cycle
3600.
5.3.2 Optim controller
The optim controller has the same green time as in the Wetstraat. This is 65
seconds green and 25 seconds red. Because the green time is much longer than
the red time, it can be seen in the simulations that the red light is moving on from
