Adaptive Signal Control is a traffic management system that adjusts the timing of traffic signals in real-time based on current traffic conditions. It uses data from sensors and cameras to monitor vehicle flow, allowing signals to change more dynamically than traditional fixed-timing systems. This helps reduce congestion and improve traffic flow.
By analyzing patterns in traffic, Adaptive Signal Control can optimize signal phases, minimizing wait times for vehicles and pedestrians. This technology not only enhances efficiency but also contributes to safer road conditions by reducing the likelihood of accidents caused by stop-and-go traffic.
