A program is underway in Texas in which trucks coordinate with smart traffic signals to keep freight rolling rather than stopping for red lights.

Abu Dhabi has launched an AI-driven smart traffic light system to reduce congestion on Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Street. Using ...

SCOOT, like SCATS, measures traffic at intersections and optimizes signal timing in real time, using small incremental changes. The system relies on wire loops in the pavement, magnetometers and ...

Some cities are experimenting with AI-assisted traffic light technology that would help diminish traffic jams. They face several challenges.

System designers hope that this anonymous statistical data could soon help urban planners better coordinate traffic light systems, or even eventually redesign entire smart light schedules.

$2M grant to fund traffic signal network in metro cities The city of Moorhead was awarded a $2 million federal grant to create a coordinated SMART traffic signal system with Fargo and West Fargo.

The signals will retime themselves about every three to five minutes, to perform at the optimal level. The usual way to retime traffic lights is to collect and analyze traffic count data.

“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.

The county engineer’s office has already received approval to launch a pilot program in Palm Beach Gardens that will feature smart, synchronized signals at five intersections.
