A FUZZY LOGIC MULTI-PHASED SIGNAL CONTROL MODEL FOR ISOLATED JUNCTIONS

This study develops a fuzzy logic multi-phased signal control (FLMuSiC) model for dynamic signal control at isolated signalized intersections. The model comprises two systems: one arranges phase green times (duration) and the other arranges phase sequences using traffic volumes. The developed FLMuSiC model has been compared with the traffic-actuated simulation and the aaSIDRA vehicle actuated models with respect to the average delays of vehicles. Comparison of models was performed using simulation methods. An isolated four-armed intersection is selected to compare the performances of the models. Three- and four-phased controlling situations with equal and different traffic volumes on approaches of intersections are considered in the comparisons. Results of comparisons show that the performance of the FLMuSiC is better than both the traffic actuated simulation and the aaSIDRA model, especially in the case of the higher variability of volumes.
