Abstract:
This paper aims at optimally adjusting a set of green times for traffic lights in a single intersection with the purpose of minimizing travel delay time and traffic congestion. Fuzzy logic system (FLS) is the method applied to develop the intelligent traffic timing controller. For this purpose, an intersection is considered and simulated as an intelligent agent that learns how to set green times in each cycle based on the traffic information. The FLS controller (FLC) uses genetic algorithm to tune its parameters during learning phase. Finally, The performance of the intelligent FLC is compared with the performance of a FLC with predefined parameters and three simple fixed-time controller. Simulation results indicate that intelligent FLC significantly reduces the total delay in the network compared to the fixed-time method and FLC with manual parameter setting.
