Abstract
Based on Pan-Boolean algebra with an illustration of crossroads in the urban trunk roads, a new logical control model of the traffic light is designed in this paper. It breaks down the conventional pattern of fixed time distribution, realizes a flexible control and takes into account the combinations of various traffic lanes. Characterized by simple presentation and convenient operation, it can be clearly shown after the simulation that the model is preferable to the conventional pattern of fixed time distribution in promoting the efficiency of traveling vehicles. Since it can make the vehicles travel more efficiently, it may be employed in the near future.
