Metering of merging traffic flows from on-ramp section of freeways is an important research issue for traffic engineers. Although metering signal is one of the recent applications for the subject, assignment of signal timing is problematic. The problem is based on dynamic structure of traffic flows and uncertainties coming up from driver behaviors. Because of variations in car following behavior and perception-reaction times of drivers, uncertainties are occurred. To handle these uncertainties, fuzzy logic approach is preferred in this research. A Fuzzy LogicControl based Dual Lane Ramp Metering (FuLCRMe) Model is proposed. The model considers following parameters as inputs; arrival headways of mainline, queue length at ramp and red time of ramp. Decision about red signal timing is made using these parameters. Based on this decision the final red time is assigned. The FuLCRMe model is tested by a simulation developed in Microsoft Excel program considering different cases. Results of the comparisons show that the FuLCRMe model provides significant decrease in delays, queue length, cycle time, CO\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$_{2}$$\end{document} emission, fuel consumption, travel time and total cost.
