Abstract

This paper presents a traffic signal phase sequencing using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) technique. The system is designed to emulate traffic expert on the selection of the appropriate phase to be given right-of-way at an isolated intersection based on the prevailing traffic situation. Inputs (queuelength and waiting time of vehicles) from traffic detectors are used to determine the selection of the next green phase. We evaluated the developed model for five different common traffic scenarios using MATLAB. The results obtained indicates that the developed model adaptively and effectively selects a phase to be given next green signal after considering the traffic situation and the nature of the intersection in question.
