A Graph Theoretic Approach to quantify the Conflict of Traffic Streams in a Traffic Intersection

Ankur Bharali

Abstract


A traffic intersection can be modelled by a graph by considering the streams as vertices and assigning an edge based on the mutually non-conflict streams. In this paper we propose a spectral approach to arrange the steams in order of their conflict and hence determine the most conflicted stream in a traffic intersection.
