Traffic light control systems: an overview

An overview of all traffic light control systems TML developed.

Lubbeek smart region

For the municipality of Lubbeek, we collaborated on a digital twin to map traffic flows and bicycle safety in order to measure the impact of future road infrastructure modifications.

Dynamic traffic models capture travel times and traffic jams in a realistic manner and are therefore ideally suited for scenario analyses at local and regional level to support dynamic traffic management.

Traffic Scout

TML developed a simplified traffic model that uses Telraam data to analyse local mobility interventions in collaboration with citizens.

Ecosystem analysis of local traffic count data

TML mapped the ecosystem and developed a solutions catalogue about traffic counts for cities and municipalities.

ITACA

The ITACA project aimed to shed light on the drivers and barriers for the adoption of new technologies in ATM.

MOMENTUM

TML developed a toolkit for modelling emerging transport modes and technologies.

Traffic Scout COMPAIR Sint-Niklaas

The European COMPAIR project is developing a local multimodal traffic model, fed by citizen traffic counts, to accurately simulate traffic measures in Sint-Niklaas.

Actualisation strategic traffic model StraVeM

TML surveyed the strategic traffic model StraVeM.

x-CITE

x-CITE promotes smart cities through extended reality technologies, accelerates AI integration, and fosters collaboration for inclusive, ethical urban solutions in the EU.

Management system for the traffic lights in Antwerp

We collaborated on the development and implementation of an innovative traffic management and control strategy.

OptiRoutS

This project used a combination of classical traffic models and artificial intelligence to develop a predictive model for real-time traffic situations.

NEUJOBS

Employment 2025: How will multiple transitions affect the European labour market?

N76

What if we upgrade the N76 to a primary road?

ToPDAd

We developed innovative socio-economic methods and models to enable impact analysis of regional adaptation policies.

e-Freight

We optimised the efficiency of information exchange for multimodal freight transport.

Rebound Effects

What are the indirect or second order effects of environmental measures?

Development of a transport model

We collaborated on the development of a combined traffic engineering-transport economic model.

Bodart Square Leuven

TML collaborated on the integrated design of the Koning Boudewijnlaan - Leuven Ring Road intersection.

Second-Hand Car Market

Why is the European second-hand market performing poorly and what actions can the EU take to strengthen it?

Improved Monitoring of Traffic Signal Controls

We built a Flemish system for the quality assessment of traffic control installations.

Impact of the Belgian Truck Kilometre Charge on the Food Industry

What are the direct costs and economic impact of truck kilometre charge on the food industry?

Bicycle Database

TML collaborated on a knowledge database of best cycling practices from home and abroad.

ClairCity

We participated in reducing air pollution in cities, a citizen-centred project.

Dynamic Traffic Model Antwerp

TML collaborated on a macroscopic dynamic traffic model (MDVM) for Antwerp.

COMPAIR

Is it time to liberalise air traffic management and control?

INTUIT

TML collaborated on interactive tools to better understand the performance of air traffic management.

Feasibility Study Tool Urban Network Management

Is it commercially viable to develop a design tool for urban mobility measures?

Flow research N32 Roeselare-Hooglede

We optimised traffic flow on the public transport axis between the roundabout with Koning Leopold III-laan and the ovonde at R32/N32.

Shifting from Labour Taxation to Road Pricing

What are the effects of possible scenarios for greening taxation (in this case, road pricing for passenger cars)?

Construction macroscopic dynamic traffic model Vlaamse Rand

We collaborated on a macroscopic dynamic traffic model for the Brussels region.

Microscopic traffic simulation Leuven Ringroad

TML is conducting a traffic study (microsimulation) of the Ring around Leuven (R23).

Smart Traffic Network Control Antwerp

What does a smart grid scheme for the city of Antwerp look like?

Blauwe Boulevard Hasselt

TML provided the analysis and layout of the traffic light control system on the Slachthuiskaai in Hasselt.

Study to objectify mobility policy

This study diagnosed the congestion problems in Flanders and Brussels and formulated recommendations for concrete solutions to reduce congestion.

Redesigning the A12 as a primary road

As part of Team A12, TML studies the redesign of the A12 to improve safety and traffic flow for all road users.

Mobility modelling for Namur and Eupen

TML participated in the development and application of four-step traffic models for the cities of Namur and Eupen.

Vision on truck parking

TML collaborated on a supported vision for truck parking in Flanders.

WTI Tool

TML developed a tool to improve waiting time indication for traffic lights.

Signal plans Oosterweel connection

TML prepares traffic light arrangements to ensure the smooth running of works on the Oosterweel connection.

MAIA

TML is collaborating on a toolbox to support Multimodal Access for Intelligent Airports.

Data processing intersection detectors Antwerp

TML processed and presented detections from loop detectors at Antwerp intersections.

AMALFI: Autonomous Measurement Network for the Analysis of Liveable Cycling Infrastructure

The AMALFI project will use low-cost sensors, ad hoc video analysis, and innovative modelling techniques to realise detailed functional use analysis of cycling infrastructure.

FLOMOVIA

TML will update and apply the FLOMOVIA tool to calculate vehicle performance in Flanders.

Telraam

We developed and implemented crowd-sourced, automated traffic counts with low-cost equipment.
