An Adaptive, Distributed and Intelligent Traffic Light System
Abstract
In this study, it is aimed to create a low cost adaptive traffic light system. For this purpose, a probabilistic, discrete-time traffic simulator has been developed that can be used to model existing traffic networks. A unique adaptive traffic light system, which achieves higher service quality compared to a fixed time adjusted traffic light system, was developed and tested on the simulator. It has been shown that the developed system can manage the traffic flow in real time and is not affected by the information loss caused by the oversaturation of the modeled roads.
