Claim One:
1. A traffic signal control system for controlling a plurality of signal junctions comprising: a signal group oriented multi-agent control scheme, each agent adapted to operate independently and represents one or more traffic signals at a signal junction; means for each agent for determining traffic conditions at its signal junction and traffic conditions of neighbouring agents; and means for applying fuzzy logic in signal control operations, wherein signal control operation is based on traffic conditions at each agent and one or more neighbouring agents, such that the control operation is distributed to each agent to control each of said plurality of signal junctions, wherein the fuzzy logic is set based on a real-time model of the traffic situation at each of said plurality of signal junctions, wherein the modelling represents the current traffic state of each junction; wherein the real-time modelling is performed by visual traffic data and numeric traffic data at each junction being transmitted to a remote server, and wherein the server further comprises means for translating the visual traffic data and numeric traffic data into a 2-Dimensional (2D) or 3-Dimensional (3D) real time model of the traffic at the junction.
