The system includes:

• A processor
• Transit module
• Processor involves the  non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable instructions
• A traffic control system receives a transit request through the transit module coupled to the processor and an occupancy attribute from a mass transit vehicle, and estimate a measure of a first delay time.
• Further, the traffic control system may estimate a second delay time for private vehicles, and a total person delay may be determined and reduced at the intersection.

Transit Time Estimation:

First Transit Time:

• This time includes a queue dissipation time and an approaching transit time associated with the first red light.

Second Transit Time:

• Similar to the first transit time, it includes a queue dissipation time and an approaching transit time but pertains to the second red light.

Calculation of Green Extension and Red Truncation:

• Based on the estimated transit times, the system determines values for green extension (GE1) and red truncation (RT2). These values will be used to modify the durations of red and green lights of a signaling
• Further, based on the total person delay, it generates control signals to change the configuration of signaling devices (e.g., traffic lights) at the intersection.
