A distributed multiprocessor traffic control system

A distributed multiprocessor traffic control system is explained. In the distributed hierarchy, the decomposition of physical modules as well as task modules forms the center of investigation. By using the inexpensive microprocessors to form the lower level modules, and using them to monitor and compute the real time parameters, a satisfactory and self-optimizing system is available. It is anticipated that the system can handle up to 100 traffic junctions in a network.
