Abstract: A method to schedule intelligent traffic lights in real time based on digital infochemicals (DIs) is disclosed. The method takes advantage of DIs as medium to both predicate traffic flow and smooth the green/Cycle (g/C) ratio. First collect DIs, then update DIs by three actions including aggregation, evaporation, and propagation. After that, adjust the g/C ratio of the traffic light. DIs have the function of prediction due to the propagation that allows DIs reach the traffic earlier than the real traffic flow. On the other hand, DIs have the function of memory due to the evaporation that remembers the information of the historical traffic flow. The prediction and memory of DIs, as the reason why DIs are superior to the pure traffic flow, give the DI-based intelligent traffic light compelling advantages over the pure traffic based intelligent traffic light.
