High fidelity modelling of traffic light control with XML logic representation

Abstract

The paper describes a novel approach to modelling traffic light control in SUMO with control logic configured in xml inputs. It shows also, that this approach allows for high fidelity replication of a real-world traffic controller by comparing original and simulated switching behavior when confronted with the same traffic situations. The approach could process from a traffic engineer with limited programming knowledge.
