The aim of this paper is to show an advantage of an adaptive traffic lights strategy. For the adaptive traffic lights strategy switching the author’s methodology for adaptation of parameters of complex system for complex system behaviour adaptation is used [3,4,6]. Traffic simulation is done using simulation software NetLogo. As an example, a model of a traffic grid with traffic lights on its crossings is used. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajme/1/7/15/ajme-1-7-15.pdf traffic lightsadaptationstrategymethodologycomplex systempattern recognition
