Abstract
The design of a look-ahead traffic adaptive control system is as well
a science as an art. Along the way compromises have to be made in
order to end up with a workable system that is not only able to come
up with good signal timings, but is also able to deliver them on time.
In this paper we propose a taxonomy of the various look-ahead traffic
adaptive control algorithms based both on their underlying principles
and the compromises that were made to come up with a workable, albeit
less optimal system. A new hybrid algorithm is subsequently defined
which combines the strengths of all current approaches and
incorporates constraint programming techniques.
