A Fuzzy Approach to Reduce Delays at Signalized Road Intersections
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a fuzzy approach is proposed to reduce delay at isolated intersections by using as indicator the intersection saturation degree. The proposed system combines fixed -duration cycle and fuzzy calculus to reduce the overall delay without giving too much penalty to some traffic streams. To obtain the intended goal, the green times are modified according to the measured traffic flow values and by using a fuzzy procedure. Measured traffic flows are considered as fuzzy quantities because of their uncertainty and/or imprecision. A test example is analysed to show the benefits of the fuzzy controlled intersection with respect to a crispy controlled one. The results show that the use of the fuzzy procedure reduces the total and average delay at the intersection by modifying the phase duration according to sampled traffic flows.

Development of disaggregate models for estimating different property damage collision type frequencies in urban intersections has rarely been studied, particularly in Iran. It seems very little research work being implemented for studying the effect factors on collision type frequency at intersections. The main objective of this paper is to develop suitable statistical models to predict types o...
متن کاملFuzzy sets to describe driver behavior in the dilemma zone of high-speed signalized intersections
The Type II dilemma zone describes a segment of road on the approach to a signalized intersection where, if occupied by a motorist presented with the circular yellow indication, is likely to result in a motorist having difficulty deciding to stop at the stop line or proceed through the intersection. This phenomenon results in increased frequency of three failure conditions: rear-end collision a...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Impact of user’s Violations on the Saturation Flow Rate at Signalized Intersections
Accurate estimation of saturation flow rate is a prerequisite for accurate estimation of level of service and delays of signalized intersections. Saturation flow rate of intersections depends on many factors, including traffic behavior and culture. One of the important problems of traffic behavior in Iran is the violation of law at the physical region of intersections. The main purpose of this ...

New ideas are explored for managing multimodal traffic on isolated approaches to signalized intersections. Strategies are proposed that both: segregate distinct modes along the approach, and more effectively resolve the disruptive capacity-reducing conflicts that arise between throughmoving and turning traffic traveling in adjacent lanes. The proposed schemes produce capacities that consistentl...
