This paper presents two adaptive two-stage fuzzy controllers for traffic signals at isolated intersections. Firstly, a two-stage combination fuzzy controller is designed. For traffic status variables in two-stage controller leading to the inefficiency of traffic states weakening under low traffic flow, the controller introduces 0–1 combination and determines the combination of traffic status variables of fuzzy controller's inputs from the perspective of structural optimization. Secondly, aiming at the problems of fuzzy controller parameter empirical settings and functional disability of learning, a two-stage fuzzy logic traffic signal controller with online optimization is proposed; this controller introduces the rolling horizon framework and optimizes the parameters of membership functions and controller rules by using hybrid genetic algorithm. The performance of two proposed models is validated via online Paramics-based simulation platform, and extensive simulation tests have demonstrated the potential of developed controllers for adaptive traffic signal control.
