The use of unmonitored traffic light systems in Excel models has gained attention in recent years due to its potential to optimize traffic flow. These systems, often unoptimized, offer a straightforward approach to handling multiple traffic conditions without the need for complex tracking. Below, we explore key factors influencing their effectiveness.

Key Point: Untracked models tend to simplify the decision-making process but may not capture real-time traffic fluctuations effectively.

  • Unmonitored models often rely on static data inputs.
  • Traffic signals are controlled based on predetermined rules rather than dynamic traffic flow data.
  • Potential for mismatches between model assumptions and actual road conditions.

Understanding the limitations of these models can help in designing more adaptive traffic control systems. The following table outlines some common differences between tracked and untracked systems.
