Analysis of Traffic Dynamics in Urban Intersections:
A Case Study of Tirana
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: Nowadays, congested traffic is a problematic issue for our lives. Effective management of urban traffic
is very important for reducing congestion and improving transport infrastructure. Our paper offers a comprehensive
investigation of the behavior of two main intersections in the city of Tirana using the PTV VISSIM simulator. We
looked into different traffic situations to get a clearer picture of what is happening at intersections, particularly
with things like traffic flow, queue lengths, delays, and how many vehicles stay in line. The results give some
solid insights for tweaking traffic signal timings and boosting how well intersections work overall. This study
also highlights the value of simulation tools like VISSIM. They bridge the gap between theory and practice,
stretching our understanding of complex traffic patterns into real-world applications. We support building targeted
strategies to alleviate congestion and enhance urban travel. But this paper as a whole highlights not only the
challenges in managing intersections but also advocates for practical, data-based planning in a more urban context
for transportation.
