Abstract :
This paper investigates applications of Petri nets in traffic signal control. Traffic intersections are the primitive elements of a transportation network and are characterized as event-driven and asynchronous systems. Petri networks have been utilized to model these discrete event systems. The deterministic and stochastic Petri net model of a generic traffic junction is presented in this paper. The aim is improving the performance of vehicles flow in urban traffic systems. The proposed model has been validated using real traffic data.
