A linear control algorithm is proposed for the computer operation of a signalized traffic intersection. A theoretical analysis of the algorithm under the assumption of constant vehicular arrival and departure rates shows that the control is stable under unsaturated conditions, and with proper choice of control constants usually gives a rapid convergence to a limit cycle that minimizes the average delay.
