Intelligent Traffic Light Based On Genetic Algorithm

The genetic algorithm is used in many applications and one of these applications is the traffic signal system. The traditional traffic light suffers from several problems such as long waiting period and thus increasing the number of vehicles. Genetic algorithms a type of optimization algorithm, meaning they are used to find the optimal solution based on the theory of natural selection and evolutionary biology so they have several steps starts from the initial population, calculate the fitness function for each solution (Chromosome) and ends with selections, crossover, and mutation. The result of the genetic algorithm is increasing the total number of vehicles passing through the traffic signal system.
