This article examines the causes and consequences of traffic jams, describes typical traffic flow behavior and analyzes traffic control methods and means. The paper demonstrates the proposed classification of traffic lights by type of regulation. In summary, the article represents a detailed overview of existing cyber-physical traffic control systems, such as SEA TCS, InSync and MASSTR. The article analyzes the existing methods of traffic regulation, examines the causes and consequences of congestion, the division of intersections into regulated and unregulated, and the classification of traffic lights by type of traffic control. Among the main parameters of traffic flow used by cyberphysical traffic control systems, the primary and most used are speed, density, and volume of vehicles. The article also reviews the existing cyber-physical traffic control systems and the primary technologies.
