严重的交通拥挤是大城市的一个主要社会问题。尤其是交通信号周期设置效率低下，是造成交通拥堵的主要原因之一。绿色波是一种控制交通信号的方法，它允许单向交通通过一系列十字路口而不会被红灯阻止。绿色浪潮在全球多个城市进行了测试，但结果并不令人满意。绿色波的两个问题是，它仍然阻止交叉路口的交通，它形成交通堵塞，进入或离开交叉路口的街道。为了解决这些问题，我们提出了一种控制交通信号的方法，GreenSwirl，结合路径诱导方法，GreenDrive。GreenSwirl控制交通信号，通过连续的信号时间变成绿色，并通过城市的不间断环形路线，使交通顺畅。GreenWave技术由此得到扩展。我们还使用导航系统来优化城市交通的整体控制。我们使用交通模拟器SUMO和纽约的曼哈顿岛的道路网络进行了模拟。我们证实，我们的方法缩短了10%-60%的平均旅行时间，即使不是所有的汽车在道路上配备使用该系统。
Serious traffic congestion is a major social problem in large cities. Inefficient setting of traffic signal cycles, especially, is one of the main causes of congestion. Green Wave is a method for controlling traffic signals which allows one-way traffic to pass through a series of intersections without being stopped by a red light. Green Wave was tested in several cities around the world, but the results were not satisfactory. Two of the problems with Green Wave are that it still stops the crossing traffic, and it forms congestion in the traffic turning into or out of the crossing streets. To solve these problems, we propose a method of controlling traffic signals, GreenSwirl, in combination with a route guidance method, GreenDrive. GreenSwirl controls traffic signals to enable a smooth flow of traffic through signals times to turn green in succession and through non-stop circular routes through the city. The GreenWave technology is extended thereby. We also use navigation systems to optimize the overall control of the city's traffic. We did a simulation using the traffic simulator SUMO and the road network of Manhattan Island in New York. We confirmed that our method shortens the average travel time by 10%-60%, even when not all cars on the road are equipped to use this system.
