Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. An apparatus that controls a traffic system with a plurality of intersections with switchable traffic lights and road sections located between the intersections, the apparatus comprising:
at least one sensor arranged to detect traffic loads of multiple relevant road sections,
a computing unit arranged to determine a local stress function for each relevant road section depending on the detected traffic load of the respective relevant road section and arranged to determine a global stress function for the entire traffic system based on the local stress functions,
a quantum concept processor arranged to determine improved switching times for the traffic lights of the intersections adjacent to the relevant road sections simultaneously, the improved switching times being determined such that the global stress function reaches a smallest detectable value, and
a switching device arranged to switch the traffic lights in accordance with a switching model, the switching model being based on the improved switching times.
