Adaptive traffic light control

Traffic lights are one of the most used methods to control traffic. However, traffic management is more efficient when data on actual traffic conditions are available to manage traffic signs in real time. This is called adaptive traffic light control.

A smart solution is to use in-ground sensors for wireless vehicle detection instead of inductive loops. In this way, installation and maintenance operations are very quick. Also, the detection accuracy is higher compared to inductive loops because Sky Light Traffic Sensor uses a combination of optical and magnetic technology to detect vehicles. This is the best solution in stop-and-go traffic where vehicles are very close to one another.

Adaptive traffic light control is an effective tool to lower the level of pollution in the cities because it helps reduce the waiting time at intersections and traffic congestion.
