OverFlowLight: Real-Time Gridlock Prevention and Traffic Signal Optimization for Urban Intersections

OverFlowLight is a new traffic signal control framework designed to prevent urban gridlock by preemptively managing intersection queue overflow.

Current traffic signal control algorithms often prioritize throughput, which can lead to cascading gridlocks when queues exceed capacity. OverFlowLight introduces a real-time detection and mitigation mechanism to resolve these overflows before they obstruct upstream traffic, aiming to improve overall intersection performance during peak hours.
