Knowledge based approach to urban traffic control
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the general design of a system to control urban street traffic signals. It is based on cooperating, learning, realtime, distributed expert systems. We also describe the operation of a running prototype program which, while using several simplifying assumptions, has proven the technical feasibility of the approach. It has also attained a 36% improvement in the traffic flow under non-saturated conditions. Current developments include the design of a general-purpose system that can be customized to most street configurations. Finally, we draw conclusions concerning the distributed planning and problem solving methodology.

A neuro-fuzzy approach to vehicular traffic flow prediction for a metropolis in a developing country
Short-term prediction of traffic flow is central to alleviating congestion and controlling the negative impacts of environmental pollution resulting from vehicle emissions on both inter- and intra-urban highways. The strong need to monitor and control congestion time and costs for metropolis in developing countries has therefore motivated the current study. This paper establishes the applicatio...
متن کاملReal-time Traffic Management through Knowledge- Based Models: the Trys Approach
This paper presents a general approach for real time traffic management using knowledge-based models named TRYS. Recognising that human intervention is still required to apply the current automatic traffic control systems, it is argued that there is a need for an additional intelligent layer to help operators to understand traffic problems and to make the best choice of strategic control action...

The work reported here presents a methodology based on a two-fluid model to assess the degree of influence of various geometric and control features of an urban network on the quality of traffic service. The two-fluid model gives a curvilinear relation between the trip time and stop time per unit distance and its parameters characterize the quality of traffic service in urban networks. Any Chan...
متن کاملLiterature Review of Traffic Assignment: Static and Dynamic
Rapid urban growth is resulting into increase in travel demand and private vehicle ownership in urban areas. In the present scenario the existing infrastructure has failed to match the demand that leads to traffic congestion, vehicular pollution and accidents. With traffic congestion augmentation on the road, delay of commuters has increased and reliability of road network has decreased. Four s...
