INFLOW CONTROL OF THE EXPRESSWAY USING THE DIMENSIONAL REDUCTION OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL FUZZY RELATION

In this paper, the authors formulate the knowledge that an operator has in a traffic control center in to a rule. A control system is then constructed to replace the operator. In order to reduce the multidimensional fuzzy relation elements that occur when traffic control is performed in a wide area, genetic algorithms are used for the purpose of dimensional reduction. The authors discuss how the proposed technique is applied to the in-flow control, or ramp metering, on a freeway.
