Many uncertain factors must be considered in efficiently and practically controlling traffic. Inflow control with fuzzy logic is proposed to maintain smooth traffic on urban expressways. Advanced inflow control with ramp metering is considered due to the rapid progress of ITS technology. A fuzzy inflow controller is formulated in practical ramp metering based on the above research. The advantages of fuzzy inflow controller are summarized with empirical studies.

A fuzzy logic ramp-metering algorithm was designed to overcome the limitations of conventional ramp-metering strategies. The fuzzy controller demonstrated improved robustness, prevented heavy congestion, intelligently balanced conflicting needs, and tuned easily. The objective was to maximize total distance traveled and minimize total travel time and vehicle delay, while maintaining acceptable ramp queues. A multiple-ramp study site from the Seattle I-5 corridor was modeled and tested using the freeway simulation software, FRESIM. For five of the six testing sets, encompassing a variety of traffic conditions, the fuzzy controller outperformed the three other controllers tested.

In this work, we apply fuzzy logic method to address the traffic density control problem in a macroscopic level freeway environment with ramp metering. The second-order traffic flow model is firstly formulated. Then traffic density is selected as the control variable in place of traffic occupancy. Based on the traffic flow model and in conjunction with nonlinear feedback theory, a fuzzy logic based traffic density controller is designed. The ramp metering rate is determined by the fuzzy control according to density tracking error and error variation. Triangle curves are used for the membership functions of the fuzzy variables. The rule base including 56 fuzzy rules is also established. Finally, the fuzzy logic based feedback controller is simulated in Matlab software. Simulation results show that this method has good dynamic and steady-state performance, and can achieve an almost perfect tracking performance.
