This paper presents a real-time framework for cyclist platoon prioritization at signalized intersections, integrating fuzzy C-means (FCM)–based platoon detection with adaptive fuzzy signal control. Building on prior work that validated the detection approach, this study focuses on its closed-loop integration into signal control and its multimodal operational impacts. Detected platoon attributes: estimated time of arrival (ETA), size, and cohesion, are embedded directly into the controller to enable demand-responsive priority decisions. A demand sweep ranging from 120 to 1,200 cyclists per hour is evaluated in a two-intersection VISSIM test network using COM-based real-time data exchange. The results reveal three distinct operational regimes. Under low demand, the controller remains inactive and converges to fixed-time behavior, ensuring stability and avoiding unnecessary interventions. At medium demand, priority activation increases, producing substantial cyclist delay reductions whi le introducing moderate vehicle impacts, reflecting a transitional trade-off regime. At high demand, sustained priority operation leads to cyclist delay reductions of up to 40–45%, while vehicle delay impacts stabilize. A sensitivity analysis of the preference threshold highlights its role in governing multimodal trade-offs. Furthermore, incorporating a bounded cohesion term improves control stability and efficiency under higher demand conditions. The proposed approach demonstrates demand responsiveness and robustness, offering a scalable strategy for cyclist-aware adaptive signal control in urban networks.     «
