Type-2 fuzzy logic based transit priority strategy

Abstract

We proposed in this paper Type-2 Fuzzy Logic-based transit priority strategy. The developed strategy belongs to the class of active priority strategies. At the same time, it is a conditional priority strategy. We tried to find out the finest trade-off between transit and traffic delay. The suggested approach used the data collected from the VISSIM analysis. The simulation tests were performed on the section of an arterial with two intersections in downtown Belgrade, Serbia. The obtained results are promising. It looks that the developed strategy could improve traffic operations in cities, or areas, with high bus frequencies and/or low or medium traffic volume.
