A novel approach for dynamic traffic lights management based on Wireless Sensor Networks and multiple fuzzy logic controllers

作者:

Highlights:

• Flexible, scalable traffic lights dynamic control system for isolated intersections.

• Multiple parallel fuzzy controllers dynamically manage both the phase and green time.

• Outperforms other works in terms of vehicle waiting time and balancing between phases.

• Very effective under heavy traffic and when phases have unbalanced arrival rates.

• Lightweight effective implementable on COTS devices: broad practical impact expected.
