Control traffic lights according to current traffic

Cities control traffic lights according to the current traffic situation

Needs setupStrictly regulatedLetting machines & robots work autonomouslyPublic administration, Passenger transport & mobility

Fits: Logistics & warehousing

Traffic light control responds to what is actually happening at the junction instead of fixed timetables. Waiting times, tailbacks and exhaust emissions can fall, and buses, cyclists or pedestrians can be given targeted priority.

Is this for you?

  • As a city or district, you manage traffic signals and have recurring congestion or long waiting times along one road corridor.
  • The controllers can be networked or are being replaced anyway.
  • Traffic counts or detector data are available or can be collected.
First step today

Upload the count or detector data for one junction or road corridor for [2] weeks and have it analysed with the template below. This shows you how much traffic varies over the day and week, and where the fixed signal programmes do not match the traffic.

How to go about it

  1. Define junctions and goals
  2. Draw up a safety plan with fixed limits
  3. Choose and connect the control system
  4. Simulate first, then switch under supervision
  5. Approve time periods and junctions step by step
  6. Monitor impact and technology continuously
