In future, all the vehicles will be the connected vehicles and they can communicate with each other. At that time, physical traffic light systems will be replaced with Virtual Traffic Light systems. The Virtual Traffic Light (VTL) is a self-organizing traffic control system without requiring road infrastructures. However, the major weakness of the existing VTL allows only one vehicle crossing the intersection at a time and considers only straightforward direction of vehicles. This paper implements a VTL algorithm for road intersections on Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) that allows more vehicles to cross the intersection without collisions and considers the vehicle’s other directions such as turn left or turn right rather than go straight. For performance evaluation, the CO2 emission of vehicles applying the proposed VTL is compared to that of physical traffic light system (TLS) in SUMO. According to comparison result, the average CO2 emission of vehicles applying the proposed VTL algorithm significantly decreases compared to traffic light system in SUMO.
