Traffic overload is a pressing problem for many cities nowadays and they are trying to find smart solutions. Therefore cities are introducing traffic control systems that facilitate a more dynamic transit through the city for transit traffic while optimizing the control of individual junctions equipped with light signalling. Evaluation of traffic control parameters is usually based on processing of data from traffic surveys. This article describes the design, implementation and verification of alternative methods of traffic surveys for the comparison of traffic control systems in a case study of Uherské Hradiste. In this city, an extensive pilot project took place in summer and autumn 2017 to test the new algorithm for adaptive traffic control at selected light-controlled junctions of the city. The aim of the designed traffic surveys was to evaluate the parameters of the newly installed traffic control systems and to compare them with the control parameters of the original system.
