Abstract—Timed Petri nets (TPNs) have been utilized as a visual formalism for the modeling of complex discrete event dynamic systems. It illuminates the features on describing properties of causality and concurrency. Moreover, it is well known that synchronized timed Petri net (STPN) allows us to present all of the concurrent states in complex TPN. In this talk, we introduce a methodology to design and analyze an urban traffic network control system by using STPN. In addition, the applications of STPN to eight-phase, six-phase and two-phase traffic light control systems are modularized. Besides, this talk will show you how to use them to model parallel railroad level crossing control systems. The advantage of the proposed approach is the clear presentation of traffic lights’ behaviors in terms of conditions and events that cause the phases alternations. The analysis of the control models is performed to demonstrate how the models enforce the lights’ transitions by a reachability graph method.
