Metaheuristic Techniques in Optimizing Traffic Control Lights: A Systematic Review

Organic Control of Traffic Lights

Simulation Of Traffic Lights Control

Simulation of traffic control is very important nowadays for dealing with increasing urban traffic. It helps to construct the strategy of traffic lights switching and determine alternative path in the case of an accident or traffic jam. In the paper we present the application of simulation tool DYNASIM being used by French company DYNALOGIC. It has big number of alternative possibilities in mod...

Traffic Control Through Traffic Lights Management: A Comparison Study

Traffic jams are a severe problem affecting cities around the world, and they are only getting worse as the population and number of vehicles continues to increase significantly while the area available for building roads does not. Annually, many citizens waste countless hours stuck in traffic, and the amount of time spent is expected to increase. One study calculated that in 75 different city ...

Optimizing traffic lights in a cellular automaton model for city traffic.

We study the impact of global traffic light control strategies in a recently proposed cellular automaton model for vehicular traffic in city networks. The model combines basic ideas of the Biham-Middleton-Levine model for city traffic and the Nagel-Schreckenberg model for highway traffic. The city network has a simple square lattice geometry. All streets and intersections are treated equally, i...

Intelligent Traffic Lights Control by Fuzzy Logic

One of the ways to overcome traffic problems in large cities is through the development of an intelligent monitoring and control of traffic lights system. This paper addresses the design and implementation of an intelligent traffic lights controller based on fuzzy logic technology. A software has been developed to simulate the situation of an isolated traffic junction based on this technology. ...
