Real-time approaches of urban vehicle traffic control

The classical approaches of intersection control are based on cycle periods. Instead of this, the current study focuses on the lane periods and uses real-time scheduling algorithms to determine the moments of times when the traffic light phases have to be started. The vehicle streams are considered equivalent with programming tasks and the intersections work similarly with the computer processors. The real-time parameters of tasks are equivalent with stream parameters. The real-time scheduling tests are used to verify that the vehicle streams fulfill the specified requirements.
