In the decision path building part, a feasible decision path is constructed using
the STLC technique. In terms of the STLC technique, at each decision point, the control
phase incurring the highest delay in a most recent time period should be turned green.
Following this STLC policy, a sequence of decisions is made until the initial queues and
predicted traffic arrivals are cleared. This process can be better illustrated in Figure 11.
The reason why the STLC is used is that Porche (33) believed it may result in a path that
