Chapter 6

Conclusion

In this chapter all results are given. The first goal was to build a realistic traffic
simulator and the second goal was to demonstrate that the sotl-platoon controller
is much better than a green wave controller. The last goal was to convince the
Ministry of the Brussels-Capital region that the sotl-platoon controller is better
than the current controller in the Wetstraat of Brussels. The first goal is captured
in the next section. The second section gives the results of the simulations, which
cover the second and third goal.

6.1 Traffic simulator

The traffic simulator used for simulating the traffic flow with five traffic light con-
trollers for different scenarios, was created starting from an existing traffic simu-
lator (GLD / iAtracos).

• The model has been changed to represent the speed in m/s, which makes it
easier to model realistic scenarios.

• Road users will now accelerate and decelerate when needed. In the previous
simulator the road users moved at a constant speed, or were not moving.
Another improvement is that the road users are respecting a stop-distance
to avoid accidents.
