Dynamic Traffic Signal Split Control Method at Pedestrian Crossings

Fuzzy Control of Traffic Signals Accompanying Pedestrian Crossings

In this paper, a fuzzy logic control system was constructed for controlling the green time length for a real single intersection with multiple lanes, turns, and two pedestrian crossings. Control of pedestrian crossingd was achieved by assigning pedestrian crossingd into related light phases, which were controlled by a fuzzy logic controller. An evolutionary algorithm was employed to generate th...

Pedestrian Crossings at Mid-Block Locations: A Fuzzy Logic Solution for Existing Signal Operations

The increasing number of mid-block vehicle-pedestrian crashes has led traffic engineers to consider treatments to make crosswalks safer, especially for children and seniors. One common method to resolve this problem is the installation of signalized mid-block pedestrian crossings. However, a wide variety of signalization schemes have been employed, few of which are supported by the Manual on Un...

Evaluation of Pedestrian Safety at Midblock Crossings, Porto Alegre, Brazil

pedestrians and to analyze pedestrian safety at crossings. The main objective of this paper is to present the development of a method to evaluate the potential risk of pedestrian crashes at midblock crossings, consistent with the realities of developing countries. The method comprises the identification of high-frequency crash locations that involve pedestrians, the selection of factors associa...
