Cost Effective Real-Time Traffic Signal Control Using the TUC Strategy

Many reasons have been mentioned for the less than expected deployment of adaptive urban traffic control systems [6], among which the high cost of installation and maintenance is one of the most cited. This is particularly true for mid-sized cities (with less than 500 000 inhabitants) in developing countries which cannot afford the systems provided by the major vendors of urban traffic control (UTC) software.
