Abstract: The traffic organization scheme is one of the key documents that reflects the traffic conditions on the street and road network, in the locations of road service facilities, etc. A properly created project has a significant impact on improving the level of road safety for all participants in this process. However, today, in order to confirm the relevance of the implementation of the proposed measures and determine the expediency of the implementation of project solutions, it is necessary to carry out simulation modeling. Often, transport problems observed on the street-road network arise due to inefficient traffic management, unsatisfactory information provision, significant changes in traffic flow indicators, etc. Under these conditions, increasing the efficiency of the transport system can be achieved by both improving existing and designing new traffic management schemes. Therefore, to achieve this goal, automated traffic control systems and intelligent transport systems should be used [1-3]. At the same time, the concept of traffic management is rather ambiguous. It can be considered as a multifactorial approach to solving transport problems, in particular with regard to the application of certain measures regarding the organization and provision of transport activities. In this, as regulatory measures, certain restrictions on the total volume of traffic are allocated to achieve the appropriate level of convenience in movement [4]. Study object – a section of the street and road network, in particular Horodotska Str. (from Riashivska Str. to Vyhovskoho Str.). Scope of research – the influence of the traffic management scheme on the duration of traffic delays. Goal of research – to identify patterns of changes in the duration of traffic delays from the traffic management scheme and the traffic light regulation system. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve such problems: - to carry out an analysis of scientific works, the subject of which is related to the study of traffic delays; - identify the main methods and approaches that will allow to achieve the set goal; - to create a project of a new road traffic management scheme on the section of Horodotska Str.; - carry out simulation of the movement of vehicles under existing and projected traffic conditions, establish appropriate dependencies. In this work, modern scientific publications on the subject of the study were analyzed, field observations were conducted and their results were processed, a project for improving the traffic organization scheme was created, a fundamentally new approach to traffic light regulation was developed, simulation modeling was carried out on the studied section of Horodotska Str. (from Riashivska Str. to Vyhovskoho Str.), patterns of changes in the duration of traffic delays were revealed. Key words – traffic flow, street and road network, traffic delay, traffic light regulation. References 1. Fornalchyk, Y., Kernytskyy, I., Hrytsun & O., Royko, Y. (2021).
