An integrated model to control traffic lights : controlling of traffic lights in multiple intersections using fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm

In this paper we propose an integrated model combines Fuzzy Logic (FL) and Genetic Algorithm (GA), utilizing their applications in order to minimize the traffic congestion and traffic delay, through controlling traffic light system in three proposed traffic intersections. The proposed model in this paper will adjust the timing and phasing of the green traffic lights according to the current situation in the proposed traffic intersections; each intersection is supposed to be controlled by traffic signals that will apply the model. The green light interval time length shall provide at an intersection will be decided by FL. the outputs of FL will be optimized by GA, in order to obtain a higher performance. This performance can be measured considering the reduction in the waiting time and the total amount of vehicles that arrived to the Queue of the three intersections. The proposed model expected to provide a significant improvement to the traffic light system performance which might be very important to be applied in the metropolitan areas in Malaysia

An Integrated Model to Enhance the Transportation Methods in Malaysia: Review Paper

In this study, we plan to construct a Simulation Model (SM) in corporate with the Road Network Design Method (RNDM), Genetic Algorithm system (GAs), and Optimization method. In order to elicit a general diagnosis for the traffic congestion problem in the main urban areas in Malaysia, and to find out the optimal solutions for transportation system problems in Malaysia. The problems of the transportation system in Malaysia are generally unsatisfactory to many of the customers due to be inability to connect different place. The country requires a better transportation system that could provide multi options to customers travel among the many places that might minimize the traffic congestion in the main urban areas. The results of this study will be reported and used to suggest and apply optimal transportation policies with the aim of providing useful insights on critical issues about the impact of such policies, and to help as a guide for the Malaysian decision makers to elaborate the optimal transportation policies
