Fuzzy traffic congestion model based on speed and density of vehicle

The purpose of this paper is to describe a new approach of detecting traffic jam in the city. Unlike prior works that demonstrate traffic jam through vehicle detection only, this paper attempts to introduce a new fuzzy-based method for modeling traffic congestion levels that consider both the road occupancy levels as well as vehicle movement. Our model has an advantage of describing the traffic condition more precisely. We have performed a simulation of the proposed model using Matlab Fuzzy Toolbox and the preliminary results reveal that the proposed model is promising.
