Systems: Crossroads Traffic Simulator

About

--- Auto-Generated Description ---
This diagram represents a Crossroads Traffic Simulator designed to model and analyze traffic flow and congestion at a crossroad. It simulates the dynamics of car inflow from two directions (labeled as "A Road Traffic" and "B Road Traffic"), the accumulation of cars in queues, the regulation of traffic through a traffic light system, and the passage of cars through the crossroad. Sources generate cars at a variable rate (simulated by a random dice roll, "D3", indicating the number of cars entering the crossroad per cycle), which then accumulate in pools representing queues for each direction. The system utilizes gates to simulate traffic light control, allowing cars to pass from the queues based on the state of the traffic lights, which is determined by a timing mechanism simulated through a sequence of state connections and registers.

The core mechanics revolve around managing these queues and directing flow through the traffic lights, with the ability to adjust several parameters to observe their impact on congestion. These parameters include the inflow rate of cars, the capacity of the road (outgoing flow rate), the timing of traffic light switches, and queue thresholds that trigger changes in the traffic light state. Registers compute conditions based on these parameters to manage the flow of cars, aiming to mitigate congestion. Users can tweak these settings and run multiple simulations to analyze traffic patterns, identifying potential congestion points by observing spikes in queue lengths over time. This setup provides a powerful tool for urban planners and game designers to experiment with traffic management strategies and to design more efficient traffic systems.
