Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

    Abstract: Traffic congestion at the Abdali interchange in Amman, Jordan, represents a critical urban mobility challenge because it affects travel efficiency, safety, fuel use, and emissions at a key gateway to the city centre. This study evaluates the interchange using SUMO traffic simulation and Power BI analytics, supported by field traffic counts and interviews with traffic department personnel. Three scenarios were examined: the existing condition, the influence of traffic arriving from the 4th Circle, and the introduction of traffic signals at Abdali interchange. The findings show that 4th Circle traffic contributes partially to congestion, with an average flow of 2,270 vehicles per hour. Signalisation improved operational performance by reducing mean departure delay from 105.57 to 91.93 seconds and slightly increasing mean speed from 8.95 to 9.05 km/h. The intervention also indicates potential environmental benefits through reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
    Keywords: traffic congestion; Abdali interchange; urban mobility; traffic simulation; SUMO; power BI analytics; traffic signal optimisation; departure delay; sustainable transportation; CO2 emissions reduction.
