Deliberative Self-Organizing Traffic Lights with Elementary Cellular Automata

Figure 6

The computer-sensor sends information of the positions of the virtual vehicles predicted to the downstream computer-light. The computer-sensor also sends a message to the upstream computer-light to report if a vehicle is stationary in the sensing area. With information from local computer-sensors, each computer-light applies the self-organizing method.
