Abstract
Cars on the roads become larger every year, cities literally choke on the influx of cars. At the same time, there are many claims to the roads themselves: poor quality, inconvenient road interchanges, lack of overground / underpasses and bypass roads for freight trucks. The problem of traffic congestion on the roads requires a solution - the sooner, the better as for an individual whose time is wasted, and for the economy of the country as a whole. And this problem is not only for Kazakhstan - it is estimated that about 11 billion of fuel is spent in the US for a year, about 4.2 billion hours are lost, and losses are measured in tens of billions of dollars! To date, one of the main problems of large cities of Kazakhstan, in particular Almaty, are automobile congestion (traffic jams). Automobile jams cause huge damage to the environment. Exhaust gases contain about 200 chemical compounds. During the idle time of a large number of cars in a jam, there is a large release into the atmosphere, which causes invaluable damage to the environment and the health of citizens living in the contaminated city. Also, congestion is the cause of nervous disruption of citizens. Most motorists are idle in traffic jams for more than two, or even three hours a day. The constant tension behind the wheel, the inhalation of exhaust gases, the loss of time in congestion - all this adversely affects the physical and moral condition of people using cars. On the other hand, traffic management is a very non-trivial task, because although the object is the traffic flow consisting of technical means, in fact one has to manage living people, each of which pursues its goals. In some cases, management is limited to recommendations that an object may not follow. For example, speed is often limited only from above, and in Almaty many drivers perceive the red light only as a recommendation to stop! In addition, it is often difficult to choose quality management criteria. And transport work, and the delay at intersections, and the speed of communication, and the number of traffic accidents, and the amount of harmful emissions, it can be said, are equally important.
