Simulation of Vehicle Traffic Flow at Crossroads

This MATLAB-based simulation models vehicle traffic flow at crossroads, incorporating configurable traffic density parameters and graphical visualization capabilities to intuitively represent intersection dynamics. The implementation utilizes object-oriented programming to create vehicle entities with properties like speed, direction, and arrival time, while employing queueing theory algorithms to manage lane-based vehicle movements. Through discrete-event simulation techniques, the model captures realistic traffic interactions including right-of-way decisions, turning maneuvers, and congestion patterns. The simulation enables comparative analysis of traffic conditions under varying flow rates, incorporating metrics such as average waiting time, queue length, and throughput efficiency. This analytical framework assists in evaluating traffic flow impact on intersection performance, providing valuable references for urban planning and traffic management decisions. Additionally, the simulation serves as an effective educational tool for students and professionals to understand fundamental principles of traffic flow modeling, featuring modular code structure with customizable parameters for different intersection configurations and traffic scenarios.
