Abstract

This paper describes an experiment applying Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems design to simulate signalized intersection control. The system applies traffic engineer's heuristic control strategies on the IBM PC/XT/AT based microcomputers. This study examines the feasible approaches in automating the intersection signal control for efficient operation. Essentially, a one-intersection simulated signal control environment has been constructed through two interconnected IBM PC/XT/AT, or compatible microcomputers, which automatically examine the proper actions needed to handle the variable, synthetic input traffic demands. This advanced microcomputer-aided design can also be expanded in the future for other real- time systems to monitor and control current and predicted traffic conditions.
