Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: generating, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a piece-wise sinusoidal representation of traffic arrival at a traffic junction; determining, by the system, a parameter of one or more traffic junctions based on the piece-wise sinusoidal representation and a polynomial objective, wherein the determining comprises: determining a first parameter that is a time of a start of a phase sequence at a first traffic junction and determining a second parameter that is a time of a start of a phase sequence at a second traffic junction; and generating, by the system, a multi-variate polynomial describing an average queue length of a defined traffic type from a plurality of traffic types at the traffic junction based on the piece-wise sinusoidal representation of the traffic arrival for the plurality of traffic types.
