Title:	A Knowledge-Based Adaptive Traffic Signal Control Application
End Date:	December 2001
Status:	Completed
Keywords:	artificial intelligence, case studies, intelligent transportation systems, knowledge acquisition (expert systems), traffic signal control systems, traffic simulation, travel time

Abstract

This study examined the use of a knowledge-based expert system for traffic signal control. It illustrates a new technique for achieving adaptive traffic signal control which would reduce vehicle delay and travel times. The proposed system was tested on a case study corridor in Fargo, North Dakota, using a traffic simulation program (VISSIM). Conclusions and suggestions for future research are also offered.
