$ prob016.essence: Traffic Lights
$ Problem details available at http://www.csplib.org/Problems/prob016/

$ Consider a four way traffic junction with eight traffic lights.
$ Four of the traffic lights are for the vehicles and can be represented by the variables V1 to V4
$ with domains {r,ry,g,y} (for red, red-yellow, green and yellow).
$ The other four traffic lights are for the pedestrians and can be represented by the variables P1 to P4
$ with domains {r,g}.
$ The constraints on these variables can be modelled by quaternary constraints on (Vi, Pi, Vj, Pj)
$ for i in 1..4, j = i+1 % 4, which allow just the tuples {(r,r,g,g), (ry,r,y,r), (g,g,r,r), (y,r,ry,r)}.

$ We are interested in the set of all globally consistent 8-tuples
$ (which reflects the evolution of the traffic light sequence).


letting n_roads be 4

$ Road: road identifers are between 1 and n_roads
letting Road    be domain int(1..n_roads)
letting Colours be new type enum {Red, RedYellow, Yellow, Green}

letting VehicleColours    be domain Colours
letting PedestrianColours be domain Colours(Red, Green)

$ valid: the valid traffic light combinations
find valid : function (total) Road --> (VehicleColours, PedestrianColours)


such that
    forAll i : Road .
        { valid(i), valid(1 + i % 4) } in
            { { (Red,       Red ), (Green , Green) }
            , { (RedYellow, Red ), (Yellow, Red  ) }
            }
