Abstract :
According to the salving-principle of self-organization theory, the primary parameter in traffic flow is found. By simulation, a criterion for traffic light setting at an intersection based on the primary parameter is obtained. Then, by analyzing the important effect of the primary parameter on this criterion, the practicability of using self-organization theory in traffic flow research is confirmed
