I worked at a local department of roads and motor vehicles where their traffic light management software was written in the late 80s to early 90s and looked like it.
Mind you, they had modernised it! It worked on 32-bit!
If anyone thinks that this Windows 95-era application had any kind of smarts in it at the same level as modern machine learning, AI, or even basic queuing theory, they would be sorely mistaken.
I believe all it had were some basic weekday-weekend and peak-afterhours scheduling capabilities. It also had sensor integration, but only at a few hundred key intersections around the city.
