This paper proposes the design and Paramics-based evaluation of a two-stage fuzzy logic traffic signal controller (TSTFC) for an isolated intersection. The fuzzy controller employs traffic intensity-based two stage fuzzy logic procedure, and the design principles of two-stage fuzzy controller are first presented. Then, the COM-based hybrid programming is employed to make the micro traffic simulator Paramics interact with fuzzy controllers developed by Matlab, and a Paramics-based simulation platform of TSTFC is developed via Paramics API. Finally, experiments are conducted on a typical urban isolated intersection, and the performance of the developed two-stage fuzzy control simulation model is validated by comparison to those of fixed-time, actuated, and classic fuzzy controllers for different traffic conditions. Extensive simulation results have demonstrated the potential of developed hybrid programming in time efficiency and simulating real traffic conditions and indicated that the signal strategy derived from TSTFC is more effective when traffic status at intersections is above low saturation.
