Fuzzy Control of Traffic Signals Accompanying Pedestrian Crossings
نویسنده
چکیده
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 the fuzzy logic rule base, using real statistical traffic data of the intersection. Simulation results showed that the fuzzy controller system performed better than a pre-cycle controller system which is currently used at the intersection. Key-words: Fuzzy logic, Time length, Light Phases, Pedestrian Crossings, Evolutionary Algorithms

Fuzzy Logic Concept for Safety Driven Vehicle-Pedestrian Traffic Interaction
In recent times, it has been discovered that fuzzy logic is an important tool for effective traffic control system. Research on intelligent traffic systems has revealed that the implementation of linguistic variables in fuzzy systems help in taking care of diverse possible decisions that can be taken by humans in traffic control. However, the majority of these works focus on vehicular traffic w...
متن کاملSmart Pedestrian Crossing Management at Traffic Light Junctions through a Fuzzy-Based Approach
In the last few years, numerous research efforts have been conducted to merge the Internet of Things (IoT) with smart city environments. The goal to make a city “smart” is arising as a possible solution to lessen the issues caused by the urban population growth and fast urbanization. Attention also has focused on the pedestrian crossings because they are one of the most dangerous places in the ...
متن کاملAccessibility of Modern Roundabouts: An Intelligent Management System versus a Common Signalization Scheme
Modern roundabouts have become very popular in North America over the last decade. This popularity can be attributed to their great success in Europe and Australia. The prevalence of roundabouts has generated significant debate over their accessibility for pedestrians. With almost uninterrupted traffic flows, it is difficult for the visually impaired to determine safe gaps relying on auditory c...
متن کاملAdult pedestrian behavior when accompanying children on the route to school.
OBJECTIVE Pedestrian injuries are a major cause of morbidity and mortality to children, especially boys. Adults serve as pedestrian role models and provide learning opportunities for children when walking to school. The research objectives were to investigate adult pedestrian behavior when accompanying boys and girls. METHODS Behavioral observation of 140 adult pedestrians accompanying 4- to ...
متن کاملPedestrian 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...
