Traffic Regulation Using Advanced Internet Technologies Based on Blockchain

Original scientific paper

DOI: 10.7251/JTTTP2402111P

Abstract

Today, a large number of citizens have to use public transport as well as their own, in order to go to work, to complete business obligations in different parts of the city or to use them during vacation or recreation. The above implies an organized traffic system that implies the functioning of all entities that directly or indirectly participate in the implementation. A large number of means of public transport, private cars, motorcycles, scooters and cyclists can at a certain moment create congestion that certainly disrupts daily traffic flows. When unplanned actions take place, there is a danger that for a certain period of time there will be a stoppage and even an interruption of traffic on a certain section of the road. Such situations cause nervousness among drivers, decrease concentration and unintentionally cause traffic accidents. The main goal of this paper is to present a model of electronic business that includes remote regulation of traffic from the dispatch centre, available horizontal and vertical signalling using blockchain technology. Innovative blockchain technology is currently the best protection mechanism for digital processes that take place in wired and wireless networks. In addition to the above, the protection system includes the storage, memorization and forwarding of a large amount of information, which, through later analysis, can represent the starting point for planning future models. Traffic regulation based on advanced Internet technologies certainly increases the throughput of major intersections as well as primary roads that are important for fire engines, police and emergency services.

Keywords: Regulation of traffic flows, safety of road users, innovative models of remote control, electronic business in traffic.

The influence of the corona virus pandemic on the characteristics of vehicle flow on the e-661 highway

Original scientific paper

DOI: 10.7251/JTTTP2401016G

Abstract

In this work, the characteristics of the traffic flow on the section of the Gradiška- Banja Luka highway, which is part of the European road route E-661, were analyzed in the period from 2019 to 2022. Data on the size of flow requests were taken from the database of the toll station “Jakupovci” on the Gradiška- Banja Luka highway. When defining the size of the flow request, the structure of the traffic flow was also taken into account, in accordance with the categories according to which the toll is collected. The period in which the analysis of flow characteristics was performed also includes the period in which the coronavirus pandemic reigned, when certain travel rules and prohibitions were in force. In accordance with that, the work will specifically analyze the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on the characteristics of the traffic flow on the Gradiška- Banja Luka highway section. Given that the

„Jakupovci“ toll station is the busiest toll station on the Gradiška- Banja Luka highway, the results of the analysis can be applied to other sections of highways in the Republic of Srpska.
