  We present an algorithmic method for analyzing networks of intersections with
static signaling, with as primary example a line network that allows traffic
flow over several intersections in one main direction. The method decomposes
the network into separate intersections and treats each intersection in
isolation using an extension of the fixed-cycle traffic-light (FCTL) queue. The
network effects are modeled by matching the output process of one intersection
with the input process of the next (downstream) intersection. This network
analysis provides insight into wave phenomena due to vehicles experiencing
progressive cascades of green lights and sheds light on platoon forming in case
of imperfections. Our algorithm is shown to match results from extensive
discrete-event simulations and can also be applied to more complex network
structures.
