"The new approach makes traffic lights go with the flow, rather than enslaving drivers to the tyranny of timed signals. "
and this seems to give the best results given the variability of demand and the "ebb and flow" of traffic in different directions in the morning and afternoon peaks which is exactly how the SCATS Urban Traffic Control system works.
ATC distributes SCATS and has long championed this type of adaptive traffic management around the world when cities have wanted to address city traffic congestion.
Info on the SCATS system is available on ATC's SCATS product website and the SCATS website.
