Abstract
This study examined the use of a knowledge-based expert system for traffic signal control. It illustrates a new technique for achieving adaptive traffic signal control which would reduce vehicle delay and travel times. The proposed system was tested on a case study corridor in Fargo, North Dakota, using a traffic simulation program (VISSIM). Conclusions and suggestions for future research are also offered.
