Study on Traffic Signal Control for Single Intersection via Fuzzy Logic

Considering the status of the modern road transport system, traffic signal control for isolated intersection is studied in this paper. A traffic signal control method for six-phase intersection is proposed in this paper, aiming at reducing the average waiting time of vehicles. A two-stage fuzzy controller for this method is designed in the paper. This method takes into account not only the traffic condition of the current prevailing phase and the next phase, but also the traffic demand of the vehicle flow that turn right, non-motorized traffic flow and pedestrian. Taking the average waiting time of vehicles as the evaluation index, we make simulations on the control method proposed above. The result for the simulation shows that the performance of this method is superior to that of the timing signal control method.
