  3. Abstract:
  4. The Population Growth, Land-use Development and the Increase in Vehicle Ownership in big cities have caused an increase in Travel Demand and the volume of vehicles passing through Urban Routes. Travel Time in the urban route network due to increase in congestion in one of the most important problems in Metropolises. A considerable part of Travel Time in the Metropolitan routes network is related to delay time in intersections. Thus, controlling methods for intersections in order to decrease such delays is of a great importance. The application of Fuzzy Logic as a control basis in engineering issues has a proper background. In this study, a method for controlling such signalized intersections has been assessed and proposed using Fuzzy Method. Various Experiments in simulated environments has shown that as for different traffic conditions, this algorithm could considerably be better than the conventional pre-time control algorithms and actuated ones
