TOWARD INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC SIGNAL DESIGN SYSTEM

The development of an expert system to act as the postprocessor of the simulation model is discussed. This paper presents a framework for an intelligent traffic signal design system that employs both expert systems and conventional algorithmic programs. For the first stages in the development of the traffic signal design system, an expert system called PHASES is developed. Its development, implementation and validation are described. The major accomplishments of this work is in selecting a strategy for generating phase plans that can be expressed as a set of rules, and highlighting the advantages of a frame-based representation of the intersection details.
