“…As a result, delays are represented as economic losses for road users. Delay cost is referred to as the primary cost of transportation systems and is investigated as a crucial component in the economic evaluation of traffic congestion [10], [16]- [18]. The cost of congestion was calculated by considering operational, traffic flow, and passenger factors.…”

“…As urbanization rises, so does per capita income, prompting people to acquire a car for simple transportation from origin to destination. In reality, the country's economic development is growing at a considerably quicker rate than infrastructural development, resulting in inadequate road space to meet the ever-increasing demand for automotive travel [10].…”

Travel time is an essential factor to consider when it comes to traffic control and highway upgrades. It has been noticed that the relevance of travel time and delay is often employed to document congestion and measure the real impact of highway upgrades. A travel time study is necessary to determine the amount of time required to get from one location to another on a specific route. Various information on the locations, duration, and causes of delays in performing the research may also be gathered. This is referred to as a travel time and delay study. Data from travel time and delay studies provide an accurate picture of the level of service on the studied segment. The increased traffic congestion on many streets and roads is a major source of concern for travelers, administrators, and the general public. Congestion lowers citizens' effective accessibility, resulting in missed opportunities for both the public and business. As a result, it is required to describe and compute congestion in terms of the numerous elements that generate congestion. The effect of bus stops is calculated as the total of the average time delay caused by each bus stop located along the road stretch. The necessary data was gathered utilizing both the moving automobile observer approach and video capturing. Information on all elements that determine traffic congestion, such as traffic volume, traffic composition, pedestrian crossing, vehicle merging, diverging, and crossing motions.

“…The overflowing queue occurs at the intersection area. Subsequently, intersections are the critical areas that cause subsequent congestion for the rest (Muneera & Krishnamurthy, 2020). In Bangkok, traffic delay problems are manifesting in many different areas (Marks, 2020).…”

The increasing number of on-road vehicles in Bangkok, as well as the traffic flow conditions, are causing many problems for the citizens. To alleviate the problem, effective traffic signal management by optimizing traffic signal timing can be used. As a result, the goal of this research is to improve Bangkok's traffic signal system and management by establishing an effective green light time at intersections in order to increase the vehicle flow rate. The mathematical model is designed to maximize the number of vehicles leaving intersections. Six Bangkok intersections are selected for the experiments. According to the experimental results, the optimization model outperforms current practice by increasing the number of vehicles leaving the intersection. The overall vehicle flow rate improves by 23.04%. Furthermore, combining the intersections together will allow the synchronization of vehicle flow�from�one�intersection�to another.
