The problem of software modeling and design of road traffic signals control has long been taken into consideration. A variety of modeling languages have been applied in this field. However, still no single modeling language can be considered a standard to model distributed real-time systems such as traffic signals systems. Thus, further evaluation is necessary. In this article, a UML profile created for designing real-time systems, MARTE, is applied to model a traffic signals control system. MARTE is compared with UML and SPT, a former UML profile. The result is that with MARTE, UML models are more specific, but also more complex.
