Intelligent transport systems provide great possibilities to mitigate traffic congestion and intensify driving efficiency. The design of these systems requires a clear understanding of traffic dynamics. In this respect, this study focuses on describing and analysing traffic conditions at junctions in urban environments from a macroscopic level of description. As a first step, our method attempts to interpret the traffic scenario at intersections as a queuing system. Then, a Continuous Time Markov Chain to predict the future traffic condition at intersections is developed, and afterwards the pertaining steady-state probabilities are obtained. Given the equilibrium vector, significant performance measures are inferred for monitoring and planning purposes.
