Fortran and McMaster University researchers jointly developed an adaptive control algorithm to control traffic signal in real-time. Conventional signal control systems use pre‐determined signal timing schedules which often contribute to traffic congestion and delay. Adaptive signal control technologies adjust the traffic lights to accommodate traffic flow patterns, enable the use of maximum capacity of infrastructure […]
