Review of Traffic Signal Control based on Fuzzy Logic

Abstract

the present time the number of private vehicles is increasing rapidly. As result the traffic congestion is growing and becoming a huge problem in big cities. Due to traffic congestion many huge problems are occurring like pollution, wastage of time, money, accidents etc. Traffic congestion occurred very frequently in the present time which affect the daily life and introduce so many problems and challenges. To solve all these problems traffic signal control is a best solution. Fuzzy set theory have been widely applied to many applications and it can easily deal with uncertainty, complexity and imprecision in many systems. The problems in traffic engineering are mainly characterized by the imprecise, ambiguous and uncertain parameters. Due to such type of parameters fuzzy logic method is best suitable approach for traffic signal control. The performance of fuzzy logic based controller is better for two one way street based on extension of green light time. Later fuzzy logic controller was developed for two way intersection without turns, single intersection with all movements, multiple intersection etc. Better performance of fuzzy logic based traffic signal control in comparison of traditional traffic signal control increase the research in this field. Fuzzy logic approach will definitely help in transportation management system in future. Keywordsraffic signal control, fuzzy logic
