Coordination of Traffic Signals on Arterial Streets in Duhok City

Duhok City lies in the north of Iraq and it has mountainous terrain. The poor road infrastructure of the city and also the daily increasing number of vehicles had left no choice other than applying traffic control systems to solve congestion problems in the city streets. Traffic control signal...
