N2 - This paper develops an innovative Cellular Automata (CA) model incorporated with Fuzzy Set (FS) to simulate driver behavior at signalized intersections. Three vehicle types, namely cars, heavy vehicles and motorcycles, are simulated with different movement strategies in both forward and lateral directions. Behavioral data are collected through field observations through two methods: 1) automatic vehicle tracking based on video processing; and 2) driver behavior study based on various movement scenarios. Incorporated with Fuzzy Logic (FL), a new set of movement rules, including car-following, lane-changing, reaction in dilemma zone as well as gap acceptance of turning vehicles, have been developed in a fuzzy response environment and calibrated based on observed driver behavior and survey results. The proposed model is calibrated and validated based on field observations. Simulation experiments demonstrated that the proposed CA model with FL is successful in describing and simulating erratic driver behavior at the signalized intersections.
