Abstract

Theoretically, fuzzy control has been shown to be superior in complex problems with multi-objective decisions. Traffic signal control is a typical process, where traffic flows compete for the same time and space, and different objectives can be reached in different traffic situations. In this paper, through the matlab program we attain a problematic multi-phase Traffic signal control with the fuzzy control method. Based on the results of our paper, we can assert that the fuzzy control principles are quite competitive in multi-phase traffic signal control.
