Everything is getting smarter these days, including traffic lights. Virtually unchanged for more than 100 years, today’s American traffic signals are now in the age of machine learning. The result is a more efficient, safer, and more environmentally friendly transportation world. Technology for preemption of traffic signals for instance can assist drivers in avoiding a life-threatening collision with pedestrians. And a system that integrates traffic lights and e-bike/scooter sensors will automatically time stops to align with commuters’ schedules.
IoT sensor and connectivity technologies allow smarter traffic control systems to maximize energy efficiency by improving signal timings according to real-time conditions. The data gathered by sensors and cameras can be pre-processed by the device, or sent to a traffic management hub, which is then integrated into AI-based algorithms. The results are more precise analysis and predictive modeling to prevent congestion, align public transit schedules and reduce carbon emissions.
These smart technologies can transform urban transport systems. Smart e-bike/scooter sensors for instance, can detect and transmit the location of shared personal vehicles to make ride sharing more comfortable. Micromobility payment systems on the other hand permit on-street parking or road toll payments with no need for correct change.
Smart traffic technology that is based on IoT can also enhance the efficiency of public transportation which allows commuters to follow trams and buses in real-time through live tracking apps. Intelligent intersection technology can help prioritize emergency vehicles so that they get to their destination faster – a breakthrough that has already reduced crash rates in certain cities.
