In many ways, these smart traffic light control systems are fascinating technology, and understanding how they work isn’t necessarily easy, especially for people who aren’t tech-savvy.

Smart traffic light systems aren’t necessarily something new, but tech companies and authorities across the world are constantly proposing new iterations that improve the original concept.

Adaptive traffic control systems or "smart" traffic lights allow intersection signals to adjust to real-time traffic conditions like accidents, road construction and even weather.

NoTraffic’s system makes “dumb” intersections smart by installing its camera and radar sensor pods and cloud-connected control unit to existing traffic lights.

Traffic delays can be costly but local governments are partnering together on a smarter traffic system that is predicted to cut travel delays in the greater Pensacola area by 25%.

Our current system of intersection traffic management is not only stupid, it’s 100 years old.

Driver Phillip Duffield told CBS 17 he would like to see a system where they could control traffic lights in real-time so you could get through traffic without being congested.

Ganser says combining smart lights, connected vehicles, and congestion charges “leads to a traffic system that, under good conditions, allows almost jam-free roads.” He estimates that ...

“They are incredibly important to addressing traffic flow.” Smart traffic signals, also known as intelligent traffic lights, have sensors that detect volume and velocity of approaching traffic.

Smart traffic systems could also prove more adaptable to abnormal situations like inclement weather. Rain and snow cause significant traffic slowdowns, and pre-programmed timed traffic lights ...
