Modelling and Simulation of Traffic Light Control

This study presents design of traffic light system with feedback control that considers a crossroad in an urban area. Two types of controllers are designed – fuzzy and analytical, which have been tested separately on Aimsun platform through a simulation. The aim of the study is to compare the performance of both controllers in terms of increasing traffic flow and decreasing queue length. The controllers manage the duration of the green light according to the traffic flow. Two different formal models are designed, tested, and compared. They have produced adequate solutions in terms of developing controllers for modeling and simulation of transportation tasks.
