Scalable urban traffic control system has been developed to address current challenges and
offers a new approach to real-time, adaptive control of traffic signal networks. The methods
and system described herein exploit a novel conceptualization of the signal network control
problem as a decentralized process, where each intersection in the network independently
and asynchronously solves a single-machine scheduling problem in a rolling horizon
fashion to allocate green time to its local traffic, and intersections communicate planned …
