Abstract

At some intersections controlled by traffic lights, there are a lot of vehicles waiting while almost no car crossing. In this work we propose a model to determine the switch times of the traffic lights such that similar (uncomfortable) cases are rare for a two two-way streets intersection. First we define r1, r2, two integer constants, where r1 (respectively r2) denotes the largest (smallest) desirable number of cars at the lanes now crossing (waiting) when the lights change. Then, those switch moments where the previously defined situation is not taking place, are penalized leading us to a new model for controlling traffic lights. Some numerical experience is presented.
