Abstract
Reversible lanes in urban intersections is used to efficiently control vehicles, reduce traffic congestion and increase the capacity of a roadway. But by far traffic control systems in urban intersections are simple and manually operated by police officers. In this study, we present a hybrid algorithm that intelligently resolve the moving direction of reversible lanes to efficiently manage the flow of traffic at intersection. The proposed algorithm consists of three stages:(i) fuzzy inference method to get the efficiency of moving direction, (ii) a provisional decision whether to change the reversible lane to different direction, (iii) a final evaluation criterion for changing the directions of the reversible lanes. The fuzzy inference results of efficiency are shown by using matlab application.
