1. A device for controlling traffic, comprising:

  • at least one sensor that produces at least one sensor signal representative of a current traffic state; and

    an analysis module that analyzes the sensor signal to determine the current traffic state, to compare the current traffic state to a common traffic state, to determine deviations of the current traffic state from the common traffic state, to determine a control scheme based on the deviations, wherein the control scheme controls the activation of traffic signaling lights to optimize traffic flow, and to produce the control signals representative of the control scheme.
