Introduction
One of the most important areas of road traffic (RT) is constructing the control system at such important elements of street and road network (SRN) as signalized intersections. To ensure a high level of control and organizational measures at signalized intersections one requires data characterizing not only the TF but the possibility to obtain the criterion of quality control of intersection work [1].
One of the main objectives of such systems is to determine a wide range of TF parameters that can be achieved by providing the complex diagnostics with reliable, multifunctional and rather cheap traffic condition detectors of TF on highways and intersections that allow to determine simultaneously the overall dimensions of the vehicle, the points of passing the control zones (CZ) and the intersection on the whole, the speed, the type and vehicle driving directions, vehicle density on each lane at any time interval, traffic intervals between vehicles, their delays and TF combinations.
Full-scale studies, traffic simulation, TF video monitoring, etc. should be marked among the current research methods of TF parameters. All
these methods aim at obtaining accurate data on TF parameters for efficient vehicle traffic control.
Then extensive studies on using a variety of radio electronic, optical and vehicle ultrasonic detectors to determine a wide range of TF parameters were carried out [2, 3].
At the same time intersection monitoring systems used in developing RT control tools of the aggregate system, ACS-RT, information support systems of SRN intersection load and increasing the efficiency of vehicle traffic control at signalized intersections were developed extensively.
Therefore, the task of developing and improving modern vehicle detectors and intersection monitoring systems is important and relevant.
Analysis of Publications
Analysis of publications shows the availability of a big number of devices including vehicle detectors for defining TF parameters on the ways to the intersection among which the most specialists give preference to methods and means of using optical (laser) light nowadays.
Thus in work [2] an opto-electric vehicle detector based on the table-like rasters was suggested as a signal receiver. Initial data of this detector are speed, overall dimensions (height,

length), and TF basic characteristics using a vehicle-marker.
The disadvantage of this device is the complexity of video processing revealing the optical image of the vehicle because the values of signal amplitude maxima may vary depending on the vehicle illumination and its speed. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out calibration (to adjust a correction coefficient) constantly and standardization of reflected signal amplitude resulting in additional temporary expenditures.
Common methods and devices for defining vehicle speed and type using cameras mounted in the control device as a part of domestic and foreign devices (Arena, Kris-1, Vizyr, Sokil, TruCam, etc.) [3].
Operational experience of such systems shows that they have a number of disadvantages including: the high cost and complexity of special software to process video data, the necessity of satisfactory illuminating the controlled zone at night; a long period of data processing used for forming the control actions and their transfer to SRN at pace compatible with the rate of changing traffic conditions; impossibility of defining all TF necessary parameters on all lanes of the intersection simultaneously and possibility of full automation of decision making in real time.
The process of building such systems is a complex technological chain including digital signal processing to form and analyze these data to solve the required problem. Constructing the universal adaptive system that within possible constraints could ensure the effective object monitoring may be ideal version in this case [4].
Currently among common techniques that mostly meet abovementioned requirements we can select the method of defining the traffic flow parameters at the intersection zone according to which the conical step-by-step scanning infrared range of all its entrances and exits with a straight laser beam occurs in the spatial intersection zone [5].
This method allows to measure a set of parameters for further defining TS cycle elements on all the lanes simultaneously on-line: the speed and directions of the vehicle at the intersection zone, vehicle traffic intervals and vehicle overall dimensions, TF density on each lane.
The disadvantage of this technique and the corresponding device is its limited functionality that makes impossible defining such important TF parameters at the intersection as: vehicle queues on each lane at red traffic light, a vehicle type, reduction factors to the car, saturation
flows, phase coefficients, etc. All this significantly limit the possibility to obtain the most complete set of data for control and further operational (on-line) exact defining operation time of main and intermediate steps (MS, IS), traffic control cycle at the intersection at optimal mode.
Besides a well-known method within this technology while measuring does not allow to use simultaneously the criteria for estimating the efficiency of signalized intersection control such as the vehicle average delay, lane saturation rate and intersection capacity that reduce its functionality substantially.
Purpose and Tasks
To increase the efficiency of defining TS cycle elements it was necessary to solve the following tasks:
- analysis of current and development of new methods, techniques and algorithms to monitor TF at signalized intersections;
- expanding the functionality of a known technique to obtain a complete set of data for controlling and better operational defining the optimal values of IS, MS operation time, traffic control cycle at the intersection;
- a proposal and developing such a technique that meets the requirements of a universal adaptive system responding to any changes under TF various traffic conditions at the intersection in real time efficiently.
Substance of the Proposal
The goal is achieved by using a conical step-by-step simultaneous scanning all entrances and exits of the intersection with three straight laser beams temporarily (see Fig. 1). The suggested technique makes possible to form entrance and exit borders of two CZ and provide defining a set of TF necessary elements on each lane, MS, IS and TS cycle depending on scan results [6].
According to the suggested technique laser beam scanning is performed by scanning device 1, mounted on a special support over the intersection at the point of correspondence with the geometric centre of the intersection. In the scanning device one of the scanning optical axes depending on its height level is selected so that the first laser beam can circle the conical surface on the intersection roadway (Ri) within «stop lines» of all its entrances.
The scanning device includes an optical deflective device (discrete scanistor) providing an axis deviation of the first laser beam to the desired second position in which the circle radius (R2) on the roadway is reduced by the specified value (e.g. 1 m).

Fig. 1. A scheme revealing the main features of the suggested technique
Thus, at each next scanning period the scanning device changes the first laser beam scanning from one optical axis to another and draws two concentric circles with radii difference (R1-R2 = 1 m) within the stop-lines at intersections and forms the CZ exit border.
The second optical beam of laser scanning is formed with 120° shift in scanning circle (see fig. 2) and forms the first CZ entrance border. This beam like the first one at each next scanning period changes one optical scanning axis (with circle radius R3) to another (with radius R4) with the corresponding discrete scanistor 52 and forms two concentric circles with radii difference R4 -R3 = 1m.
The third optical beam of laser scanning is 120° shifted relative to the other in scanning circle and forms the second CZ entrance border. This beam like two other at each next scanning period changes one optical scanning axis (with circle radius R5) to another (with radius R6) with the corresponding discrete scanistor 53 and forms two concentric circles with radii difference R6 - R5 = 1 m.
Optical photodetectors 2 (FDi) while laser beams 8i, 82 and 83 scanning at both CZ entrance
circle and CZ exit circle receive signals reflected from the vehicle driving on different lanes both at intersection entrances and exits consequently. Temporal and spatial diversity of laser beams allow to record all scanning signals on the corresponding lane by one FD.
Recording vehicles entering both CZ is performed according to their front bumpers when crossing one of the circles (e.g. R6 or R4), at the same time an entry point, speed, length, a type, quantity and sequence of vehicles that actually entered the CZ on each lane during the measuring period are determined at a distance of 1 m due to periodic scanning with the optical axis change of the laser beam (from radius R3 to R4 and vice versa, and from R5 to R6)
Radius R3 forming the first CZ entrance border is selected if the distance between R3 and Ri (considering the actual distance at which the driver responds to traffic light changes) meets the maximum possible braking path (BP) of different vehicles crossing the entrance border of the first CZ with a maximum authorised speed (50 km/h).
This allows you to determine the vehicle speed at the entrance of the first CZ at the point

of traffic lights changing from green to yellow and to calculate its BP according to the vehicle speed and type and finally to make a decision about finishing the IS

where lrt - the travel of the vehicle while driver reaction time trt to traffic lights changing; lsd -braking path; V - the speed of the vehicle at CZ entrance; g - gravitational acceleration; 9 - the coefficient of longitudinal adhesion of wheels; f - coefficient of running the wheel; A - the value of longitudinal slope.
Double scanning in stop-lines area and on the corresponding lanes at the intersection exit by the first beam allows us to define all the above mentioned parametres of vehicles left CZ on each lane at a green traffic light and completely left the intersection zone.
This allows us to obtain the accurate data about vehicle presence on separate lanes in CZ
at the point of traffic lights changing to yellow and determine the number and type of vehicles that couldn't leave the intersection zone at a green traffic light, i.e. they did not cross the scanning scan (Ru R2) on lanes at the intersection exit. This is possible when the left-turning vehicles in the intersection zone are waiting for direct oncoming vehicle passing and the right-turning vehicles -the pedestrian traffic ending.
The data on the length, type and the quantity of vehicles in the intersection zone at the starting point the IS make it possible to define a point when all the vehicles from the previous phase of traffic leave the intersection zone to start a new phase. It is proposed to realize at points when the last vehicle presented in the intersection zone starts to cross one of the scanning lines (e.g., R1) on the lanes at the intersection exit by its front bumper. This ensures that the last vehicle has reached or passed the farthest conflict point of this IS and subject to availability of data on its length, has almost left the intersection.
Fig. 2. The simplified block diagram of the device revealing the suggested technique
The point of crossing the scanning line with radius R1 by its front bumper is taken as the IS end of this phase, but subject to checking the presence of a new vehicle, with braking path exceeding the CZ length at the entrance of the first CZ. This is possible only if at the starting point of IS the vehicle crosses the first CZ entrance border at a speed exceeding the limit (over 60 km/h) and its type and overall dimensions prove that its BP exceeds the CZ length and this vehicle enters the intersection zone even with full braking. In this case, the IS end is de-
termined by the point of crossing the scanning line with radius Ri at the intersection exit by the front bumper of the vehicle.
Recording vehicles entering the second CZ is performed according to their rear bumpers when crossing one of the circles (e.g. R5), at the same time an entry point, speed, length, a type, quantity and sequence of vehicles that actually entered the second CZ on each lane during the measuring period are determined due to periodic scanning with the optical axis change of the laser beam. Radius R5 forming the second CZ en-

trance border is desirably selected provided that it exceeds the most possible vehicle queue that can be on one of the lanes at a red traffic light under normal conditions. This enables to determine the number of vehicle mj in a queue on each jth lane at the intersection entrances at the point of traffic lights changing to green, or at the point of starting the traffic of the first vehicles in the queue accurately enough.
The data on the length, type and the travel time of vehicles at the entrance of the second CZ make it possible to define the real value of reduction factors to the car KRi as the ratio of average time interval tci of vehicle particular type travel on the circle with R5 by the front bumper first and by the rear one then to the average value of similar time interval tpi of the car travel
KR, = I, / ^. (2)
Measuring a set of the parameters in the intersection zone also enables to determine the combination and the length of vehicle queues gathered before the stop line at a red traffic light on each lane both in physical and reduced units
Nr} = KRiN + KR2N2 + ... + RRN, , (3)
where NRj - the number of vehicles in reduced to cars units on the jth lane; Ni - the number of vehicle types i in the queue on the jth lane; KRi -reduction factor of vehicle type i to the car.
All this enables to increase the accuracy of calculations and forecasting first, and with the first beam to determine the exact time Tj of queue travel on each lane at a green traffic light and the operation time of each MS according to the scanning results of CZ exits then.
Operation time of each MS Toi i-phase is defined by the ending point of travel the most time-consuming queue on the lanes in this control phase. Fixing the MS end point is carried out by the point of crossing the scanning line with radius Ri by its rear bumper of the last vehicle in the queue provided that at this point all vehicles leave the first CZ completely. Otherwise, the end of the MS is formed as a maximum value fixed in advance.
The operation time Tc of TS cycle is defined as a set of main Toi and intermediate Tni steps of all the phases according to the scanning results

The simplified block diagram of the device to implement the suggested technique includes: scanning device 1, straight beam laser emitter 3 and scanning unit 4, that form three-beam conical step-by-step scanning the intersection zone using optical deflection devices 51, 52 and 53. The shifts in the angles of scanning beams 8i, 82 and 83 are performed at the control point of in turns at each interval of scanning the signal coming from the fixed photodetector 2 (FD0) to inputs of discrete scanistors 51, 52 and 53.
Photodetectors 2, directed to entrance and exit traffic lanes receive consequently reflected signals from all the laser beams with a third scanning period time delay.
Transducer 6 of each FDi signal of the corresponding lane converts signals into pulse-digital codes input into the computing device (CD) 7, which further defines all necessary parameters at any measuring time (operation time of MS, IS or TS cycle). To do this signals of changing TS cycle elements from the output of traffic light 9 are fed to the appropriate CD input.
The signals from the FD0 fixed output through converter 60 are fed to the corresponding inputs of discrete scanistors 51, 52, 53 and CD to determine the position of each beam on the lanes relative to fixed points. During the control cycle CD stores the data on the type, quantity and directions of vehicles that are in the CZ or in the intersection zone at the start point of MS and IS. The algorithm and some constants to calculate BP of various vehicles by means of which full braking of the vehicle to a stop line is determined, reduced factors to cars for pre-calculating the time of vehicle queue travel are built in CD.
After the last vehicle that was in the intersection zone from the beginning of the IS, crosses scanning line R2 by its front bumper at the intersection exit CD gives the signal of IS finishing into traffic light 9. If there is no vehicle in the intersection zone at the IS starting point the computing device generates the signal of IS finishing in minimum time fixed in advance designed, for example, to finish the pedestrian traffic.
The computing device also determines the points of MS finishing under various traffic conditions of TF at the intersection.
Thus, the on-line defining the real parameters of certain types vehicle travel on all lanes at the intersection entrances and in intersection zones by a three-way high speed scanning enables to obtain (in real time) the precise value of MS, IS operation time and increase the efficiency of

control by optimizing the parametres of TLS cycle for specific conditions.
Defining the operation time of MS and IS on precise measurements rather than rough calculations on average values of parameters in some cases allows to reduce steps, wasted time in the control cycle and increase the efficient length of the signalized phases. This is possible if there is no vehicle in the intersection zone and its entrances at IS starting point.
Reducing the MS is possible if there is no vehicle in allowed directions within MS operation time, or if there is no vehicle in separate directions like in split-phase control. Fixing the end point of IS when the last vehicle leave the exit of the intersection zone increases the efficiency of control by improving safety at the signalized intersection.
Conclusion
The suggested technique makes possible to obtain the most complete set of data for control and on-line defining the optimal values of MS and IS operation time, traffic control cycle, to contribute to increasing the efficiency of operation and traffic capacity of signalized intersections and transport network as a whole.
The suggested technology of measuring a set of TF travel parameters allows to assess the quality of TS by such criteria as vehicle average delays, lane saturation rate, and intersection capacity and to control the quality of TS in real time simultaneously.
This issue expands the functionality of the technique and its efficiency significantly and in real life (under rapid changing traffic conditions at the intersection) enables to perform both control parametric adaptation (optimizing the elements of the cycle) and structural or combined adaptation by restructuring the traffic control schemes.
