摘要：
With ever-increasing traffic population and economic activities, traffic congestion has become one of the most prevalent and vexing problems
in metropolitan cities, which has great influence on driver, health, environment, and economy. Urban traffic signal control system plays a major
role to utilize the utmost capacities of existing road infrastructures. Facing the main challenges such as network scalability, large traffic uncertainty,
arbitrary network topology and driving behaviors, etc., this talk describes an intelligent traffic signal control system having pre-emptive and predictive
capabilities, along with the development of new technologies in traffic sensing and communication systems. Topics include data analysis for repetitive patterns,
iterative tuning controller designs for phase splits and offsets, and robustness performance against traffic flow variations.
