An Intelligent Traffic Light Control Based on Extension Neural Network

This paper presents an intelligent traffic light control method based on extension neural network (ENN) theory for crossroads. First, the number of passing vehicles and passing time of one vehicle within green light time period are measured in the main-line and sub-line of a selected crossroad. Then, the measured data are adopted to construct an estimation method based on ENN for recognizing the traffic flow of a standard crossroad. Some experimental results are made to verify the effectiveness of the proposed intelligent traffic flow control method. The diagnostic results indicate that the proposed estimated method can discriminate the traffic flow of a standard crossroad rapidly and accurately.
