Applying a Traffic Lights Evolutionary Optimization Technique to a Real Case: “Las Ramblas” Area in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

In previous research, we have designed and successfully tested a traffic light cycles evolutionary optimization architecture. In this paper, we attempt to validate those results with a real-world test case. For a wide area in Santa Cruz de Tenerife city - Canary islands - we have improved traffic behavior, using our optimized traffic light cycle times in a simulated environment. Throughout this paper, we present some of the experiences, knowledge, and problems encountered.
