The task of analyzing the traffic congestion of urban street and road network is currently very urgent. The active growth of Russian cities determines the increasing load on their existing transport systems, which requires timely and accurate decisions on the development of road infrastructure. Transport modeling methods make it possible to conduct analytical studies of changes in the density of traffic flow in the sections of the urban transport system in order to determine its load and improve its performance. The article deals with the method of transport simulation modeling and simulation of traffic at a regulated intersection of the street and road network of Moscow. Using the optimization experiment, the values of optimum durations of traffic light phases at a regulated intersection were obtained.
