Abstract

© Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1999. Traffic control in laige cities is a difficult and non-trivial optimization problem. Most of the automated urban traffic control systems aie based on deterministic algorithms and have a multi-level architecture; to achieve global optimality, hierarchical control algorithms are generally employed. However, these algorithms are often slow to react to varying conditions, and it has been recognized that incorporating computational intelligence into the lower levels can remove some burdens of algorithm calculation and decision making from higher levels. An alternative approach is to use a fully distributed architecture in which there is effectively only one (low) level of control. Such systems are aimed at increasing the response time of the controller and, again, these often incorporate computational intelligence techniques. This paper presents preliminary work into designing an intelligent local controller primarily for distributed traffic control systems. The idea is to use a classifier system with a fuzzy rule representation to determine useful junction control rules within the dynamic environment.
