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.
