Validating the Interval Valued Neutrosophic Soft Set Traffic Signal Control Model Using Delay Simulation

Currently most signalized intersections in almost all developing countries use fixed time trafic controllers or pre-timed trafic lights. But as a real life situation, in addition to uncertainty and impreciseness there is also indeterminacy in trafic signal control constraints due to various factors like unawareness of the problem, inaccurate and imperfect data and poor forecasting in addition to uncertainty in the constraints. To overcome these interval valued neutrosophic soft set trafic signal control model at four way isolated signalized intersections has been developed. The main aim of this research is to validate the IVNSS trafic signal control model and compare it with fixed time trafic signal control model using MATLAB simulation tool. Vehicle delay at the junction is used as a measure of effectiveness. The simulation is conducted for seven consecutive days from Monday up to Sunday for eight hours to re ect the different trafic ow conditions. The simulated delay model results are analysed under 5 different scenarios. And results showed that in case of heavy trafic conditions vehicle delay under IVNSS trafic signal control model is minimized by 36 percent and under light trafic conditions the average vehicle delay is minimized by 73 percent when compared to fixed time trafic signal control model. © 2022,Neutrosophic Sets and Systems.
