What is the technical title of the person who sets up traffic lights?

Who is the person responsible for assigning times, delays, and how long each light is? I know some function off of a weight sensor, but I'm simply curious as to WHO makes the decisions?

the traffic commissioner sets up a study for traffic density and times he then turns that information over to a engineer to determine how long and at what times the lights can stay green/red longer and when to shorten this time for the traffic flow to be smooth so to answer your question it would be the traffic engineer
