Signal Control
Signal Control refers to the management of traffic signals to optimize the flow of vehicles and pedestrians at intersections. It involves the use of timing plans and sensors to adjust the duration of green, yellow, and red lights based on real-time traffic conditions. This helps reduce congestion and improve safety.
Modern Signal Control systems can be automated and may include features like adaptive signal control, which adjusts signals dynamically based on traffic patterns. These systems often utilize data from cameras, radar, or inductive loops embedded in the road to make informed decisions about signal timing.
