Abstract

This article demonstrates a fuzzy goal programming (FGP) approach with the use of genetic algorithm (GA) for proper deployment of patrol manpower to various road-segment areas in urban environment in different shifts of a time period to deterring violation of traffic rules and thereby reducing the accident rates in a traffic control planning horizon. To expound the potential use of the approach, a case example of the city Kolkata, West Bengal, INDIA, is solved.
