	abstract = {Recent developments in computer technology have made substantial computational~capability, in the form of mini- and micro-computers, available at modest prices.~This, coupled with the available traffic sensors, controllable traffic signals and~communications, makes the computer control of traffic feasible in many urban areas~today. Many such systems are either operating or are being planned.~

Software for today{\textquoteright}s hardware environment can be oriented toward several, or~many, small machines each of which controls a small local area. Alternatively,the software can do more pre-processing of data in a small machine located near~the detector thereby reducing communication costs.~

This paper describes a set of filtering, prediction and control algorithms~that are primarily intended for traffic responsive control of networks. A way~to partition the network algorithms among a collection of microprocessors is~proposed. Because of the way in which the control computations can be~partitioned, the algorithms will also work well for isolated intersections.},
