The article addresses the overall body of problems related to synchronisation of traffic streams. With such a perspective in mind, the author discusses the problem of studying characteristics of traffic streams using a research tool of his own design. Characteristics of traffic streams affect the relations between one another (including internal impacts within individual streams). Consequences of non-synchronised traffic streams include excessive effects such as vehicle queues and delay in the network. Further outcomes of non-synchronised streams may be road traffic incidents and accidents. The article provides a discussion on the general concept of traffic stream synchronisation analysed from the perspective of both internal and external aspects. It establishes the context against which the problem of traffic self-regulation at non-signal-controlled intersections is discussed. Synchronisation of traffic streams appears to be possible, given the prospects of further development of technologies such as V2V (vehicle to vehicle) and V2I (vehicle to infrastructure).
