Abstract

In this paper, a rear-end collision control model is proposed using the fuzzy logic control scheme for the autonomous or cruising vehicles in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). Through detailed analysis of the car-following cases, our controller is established on some reasonable control rules. In addition, to refine the initialized fuzzy rules considering characteristics of the rear-end collisions, the genetic algorithm is introduced to reduce the computational complexity while maintaining accuracy. Numerical results indicate that our Genetic algorithm-optimized Fuzzy Logic Controller (GFLC) outperforms the traditional fuzzy logic controller in terms of better safety guarantee and higher traffic efficiency.

  • According to the investigations and statistics, of all the traffic accidents that ever took place, about 60 to 70 percent were caused by vehicle collisions, rear-end collisions [1]

  • Since the effect of a fuzzy logic-based controllers (FLC) relies on the number of fuzzy rules, an excessive number of such will directly impair its effectiveness
