The traffic light scheme is composed of red, green, and amber lights, and it has been defined clearly for the traffic access of red and green lights; however, the definition of that for the amber light is indistinct, which leads to the appearance of uncertainty factors and serious traffic conflicts during the amber light. At present, the traffic administrations are faced with the decision of wh...

Setting traffic light signals is a classical topic in engineering, and important heavy-traffic conditions when green times become scarce longer queues are inevitably formed. For the fixed-cycle traffic-light queue, an elementary queueing model for one with cyclic signaling, we obtain limits that capture long-term queue behavior. We leverage limit theorems to sharp performance approximations hea...

Traffic congestion becomes a serious issue nowadays especially at urban cities area. When road users come at the intersection point, there is always a conflict “who can go first” on their mind. Due to the high volume of vehicles on the road, intersection points need a traffic signaling device to control the traffic flow. That is the reason traffic signalling device is installed at most of the i...

In this paper we propose a multi-agent approach for traffic-light control. According to this approach, our system consists of agents and their world. In this context, the world consists of cars, road networks, traffic lights, etc. Each of these agents controls all traffic lights at one road junction by an observe-think-act cycle. That is, each agent repeatedly observes the current traffic condi...

Phone use while driving has become one of the priority issues in road safety, given that it may lead to decreased situation awareness and deteriorated driving performance. It has been suggested that drivers can regulate their exposure to secondary tasks and seek for compatibility of phone use and driving. Phone use strategies include the choice of driving situations with low demands and interru...

In this paper, a self diagnostic system for maintenance of traffic light system is developed. The quality of light produced by the light emitting element of traffic light system at remote site is monitored via graphical user interface (GUI). The remote system’s status report obtained from the GUI helps the maintenance operator(s) to change or repair the traffic light head at appropriate time. T...

This paper presents a novel method for automatic red light runner detection on a video, which is fundamentally different from the concept of conventional red light camera systems. In principle, it extracts the state of the traffic lights and vehicle motions without any physical or electronic interconnections to the traffic light control system or the buried loop detectors. Purely from the video...

Traffic light plays an important role in the urban traffic management. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the traffic controller for effective traffic management and better traffic flow leading to greener environment. In this paper, an advanced and intelligent traffic light controller is proposed, utilising the fuzzy logic technology and image processing technique. A fuzzy logic control has ...
