Traffic Light Sychronization

A set of traffic lights along a street all turn red and green with the same cycle length T. Associated with each light are the parameters:

GT(i) = fraction of a cycle during which the the light is green.
DIST(i) = distance from light i-1 to light i.
We want to synchronize the lights by determining:
deltr(i) = fraction of a cycle after which light first turns green. Negative means the light turned green before time zero but is still green at time zero. We standardize by having deltr(1) = 0.
Note: -GT(i) <= deltr(i) < 1 - GT(i)
