Given the previous and current light pair, the controller must predict the next light pair.

The controller must receive two inputs,

• Previous light pair att - 1

• Current light pair att.

                   +-----------+ TL(t - 1) -------->|           |                   |    ANN    |-------> TL(t + 1)TL(t)     -------->|           |                   +-----------+

And outputs the next pair att + 1.

Transitions will be implemented for a pair of traffic lights with the following sequence of pairs:

Having two inputs and one output, the Neural Network architecture will be based on the typical logic gate Neural Network architecture:

• Two input neuronsI1,I2
• Two hidden layer neuronsH1,H2
• One output neuronO1

The neural network will be a Feedforward neural network, havingthe Logistic Sigmoid equation as its activation function.

             1S(t) =  __________               -t          1 + e

Training will be done using Gradient Descent Backpropagation.

In order to simplify training, numerical values are mapped with each pair, just like how an index is associated for each row in an array.We made sure that these numerical values assigned are in the Logistic Sigmoid's curve ranges (0 to1).

The training data are as follows:

Using 50 training sets (or repetitions of these in a file) in 1000 epochs is enough for the network to learn.

• To re-train, runNeuralNetwork.exe.

  • parameters are optional, in case nothing is provided, the defaults aredata/input.csv,data/target.csv,1000

> .\TrafficLightNeuralNetwork\bin> NeuralNetwork.exe <string:input_path> <string:target_path> <int:max_epochs>

• weights.csv has its weights updated after re-train, with the following format:

• Training data can be viewed atinput.csv andtarget.csv

• March 19-22, 2017 (Initial Development)
• March 23, 2017 onwards (Maintenance)
• March 26, 2017 (GitHub debut)
