Optimizing the traffic signal control has an essential impact on intersections efficiency in urban transportation. This paper presents a two-stage method for intersection signal timing control. First, the traffic volume is predicted using a neuro-fuzzy network called Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The inputs of this network include two-dimensional, hourly and daily, traffic volume correlations. In the second stage, appropriate signal cycle and optimized timing of each phase of the signal are estimated using a combination of Self Organizing and Hopfield neural networks. The energy function of the Hopfield network is based on a traffic model derived by queuing analysis. The performance of the proposed method has been evaluated for real data. The two-dimensional correlation presents superior performance compared to hourly traffic correlation. The evaluation of proposed overall method shows …
