What is it about?
Traffic congestion may lead to strong degradation in the utilization of the network infrastructure, which can be mitigated via traffic-responsive control strategies, as the one developed in this work. This paper studies and analyzes the performance of an adaptive traffic-responsive strategy that controls the traffic light parameters in an urban network to reduce traffic congestion.

Why is it important?
It is shown that the proposed strategy can adapt to different traffic conditions and provide a satisfactory trade-off between computational complexity and network performance.
Perspectives
Simulation results obtained using a traffic simulation model of the network Chania, Greece, an urban traffic network containing many varieties of junction staging, demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach, as compared with alternative traffic strategies.
