closedAccessAbstract
The purpose of this study is to develop a control system that optimizes the phase plan, sequence and signal timing using the flower pollination algorithm (FPA). At the same time, it is aimed to improve the fixed-time control system with the optimum cycle length search approach based on the differential evolution algorithm. The applicability and performances of these two control systems were examined in 15 different traffic situations according to 4 different intersection geometries. Fixed-time and optimized fuzzy logic traffic controller (FLC) developed by Dogan were used as the reference control systems in performance comparison. The optimum cycle length search system can achieve approximately 18% improvement over the fixed-time system, but showed lower performance than the FPA and FLC control systems. The FPA system has proven its applicability by achieving the best performance with about a 30% improvement compared to the fixed-time system and about 3% improvement compared to the FLC system. The FPA approach, which has a fast and effective performance, has been found to be an alternative method for intersection control, and it is foreseen that it can increase the intersection capacity and reduce the negative effects such as delay and fuel consumption.
