Abstract
A set of incoming lanes are identified within a pre-determined proximity of a traffic signal as candidate lanes to receive a go-signal from the traffic signal. A prioritized overall lane wait time is calculated for each incoming lane. Selected lanes receive the go-signal in the current iteration, based on the prioritized overall lane wait time. An amount of time to allocate to the go-signal is calculated, based on the number of vehicles to flush from the selected lanes. The go-signal is presented to the selected lanes for the allocated time, including non-conflicting lanes. A set of metrics are collected including throughput of vehicles leaving the pre-determined proximity of the traffic signal. Based on the metrics, a time allocation is determined for the next iteration of the go-signal, parameters are updated for the prioritized overall lane wait time, and the next iteration of the traffic signal is initiated.
