Abstract-Traffic signal controllers and route guidance systems are two major subsystems of Intelligent Transportation Systems that influence each other directly. Due to correlation between these subsystems, some research has been done to combine them into an integrated system. In this paper, PersianGulf -an autonomous combined traffic signal controller and route guidance system -will be proposed which has two unique features as compared to similar research. First, it is totally distributed because calculation of optimal routes are done independently in traffic signal controllers of intersections and second, it is totally autonomous because there is no need to communicate/cooperate with either traffic supervisors such as traffic management centers or the vehicles/drivers. Also, Simulation results show that PersianGulf improve the average speed of vehicles significantly in the simulated scenarios.
For example, Khanjary et al. REF proposed an autonomous combined traffic signal controller and route guidance system, which is called PersianGulf, which considers the time delay caused by traffic signals and determines optimal routes.
