Accurate prediction of downstream vehicle arrivals is pivotal for intelligent signal control, yet many advanced controllers depend on high-resolution trajectories that are rarely available outside connected-vehicle settings. We present a deployable alternative that converts ubiquitous Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) timestamps into the predictive inputs required by modern controllers. The method couples a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) for separating free-flow samples from signal-induced delays with a dynamic platoon-dispersion model that is re-estimated online in a rolling window to forecast downstream arrival profiles in real time. In a Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) corridor testbed, the proposed framework consistently outperforms fixed-kernel dispersion and fixed-travel-time baselines, reducing RMSE by 57–75% and MAE by 53–73% across demand levels; ablation results confirm that HMM-based filtering is the dominant contributor to the gains. Robustness experiments further show stable parameter estimation under low ALPR matching rates, indicating suitability for real-world conditions where data quality fluctuates. Because it operates with existing roadside cameras and lightweight inference, the framework is readily integrable into adaptive signal strategies and broader smart-city traffic management. By turning discrete ALPR events into reliable arrival predictions, it bridges the gap between advanced signal control and today's sensing infrastructure, enabling cost-effective real-time signal optimization in data-constrained urban networks.
