Impact assessment of changes in Budapest speed limits with traffic simulation
Abstract
Road traffic congestion has now become virtually an everyday phenomenon on the roads of big cities around the world. The explanation for this is clear: the capacity of transport networks becomes saturated during peak hours, so the increasing demands cannot be adequately served, not even by the operation of traffic-dependent traffic light control. Several methods are being experimented with in order to improve the situation: their essence is that these measures are effective.
