  "summary": "Traffic signal control (TSC) is essential for improving urban mobility and reducing congestion. Although roadside cameras are widely deployed at signalized intersections and provide rich visual observations of evolving traffic, existing TSC methods typically rely on manually engineered traffic states or separate perception modules, creating a gap between physical observations and control…",
