Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for generating a control parameter associated with a plurality of traffic lights for a plurality of traffic-regulated sections at an intersection. The system may perform the methods to obtain a plurality of traffic parameters for the plurality of traffic-regulated sections; determine a traffic status of the intersection based on the plurality of traffic parameters; determine a target condition based on the traffic status of the intersection; and generate a control parameter associated with the plurality of traffic lights by using a target function, wherein the control parameter is configured to alter the operation of the plurality of traffic lights to optimize traffic at the intersection to reach the target condition.
