Traffic management system 'Green Wave' activated on Fergana Highway in Tashkent

An additional section of the 'Green Wave' system has been launched on the Fergana Highway in the city of Tashkent. Employees of the Center for Road Traffic Organization synchronized the operation of thirteen traffic light objects over six kilometers of this main artery. The section covers the area from the 'Kuylyk-ota' mausoleum beyond the Kuylyk Bridge to the UzBUM facility.

This new mode operates continuously, around the clock. According to measurements conducted, travel time along this segment has been reduced by approximately a quarter during off-peak hours. Previously, traversing this distance required 12–13 minutes, whereas now drivers need an average of nine minutes.

Thanks to the synchronization of traffic lights, drivers traveling at the established speed can pass the maximum number of intersections without needing to stop. This contributes to leveling the traffic flow and reducing the overall load on the highway. The Fergana Highway is one of the most important access arteries to the capital, receiving a significant volume of transport from the Tashkent region, which is then directed into the city center.

Specialists conduct constant round-the-clock monitoring of the road situation on this section to promptly make changes to the traffic light phases when necessary.

Previously, the Center for Road Traffic Organization (TSODD) was optimizing the traffic scheme on Abdulla Kadiri Street in Tashkent. These changes concerned the area where drivers arriving from EcoPark and intending to turn onto Movaraunnahr or Mahatma Gandhi streets had to make a long detour.

Traffic light regulation system 'Green Wave' reduced travel time in Tashkent by 22%

In Tashkent, Uzbekistan, a traffic light synchronization system called 'Green Wave' was implemented on a two-kilometer section of road between Furkat and Shota Rustaveli streets. This measure allowed for a reduction in peak hour travel time from nine to seven minutes.

Specialists from the Tashkent City Traffic Management Center configured the traffic lights according to the direction of traffic flow both in the morning and in the evening. The system is designed for an average speed of about 45–55 km/h.

In the morning, 'Green Wave' operates in the direction from Furkat Street to Shota Rustaveli Street. In the evening, the synchronization works in the opposite direction—from Shota Rustaveli Street to Furkat Street.

After the changes were made, the travel time on the congested section decreased by two minutes, from nine to seven minutes, which represents a reduction of approximately 22%. It is important to note that this improvement is achieved not by increasing vehicle speed, but by coordinating the operation of neighboring intersections.

Coordinated traffic lights contribute to smoother traffic movement, minimizing the number of stops, repeated braking, and accelerations. For comparison, under free-flowing conditions, this section usually takes six to seven minutes, but after launching 'Green Wave', the travel time during rush hour remains around seven minutes.

Thus, the synchronization of nine traffic light installations along the two-kilometer section led to a reduction in congestion periods by almost a quarter. Work on the sequential adjustment and synchronization of traffic lights in Tashkent continues.
