Signal Control Systems are technologies used to manage and regulate traffic signals at intersections. They help ensure the smooth flow of vehicles and pedestrians by controlling when traffic lights change. These systems can be programmed to respond to real-time traffic conditions, improving safety and reducing congestion.
Modern signal control systems often incorporate sensors and cameras to gather data on traffic patterns. This information allows for adaptive signal control, which adjusts the timing of lights based on current traffic volume. By optimizing traffic flow, these systems contribute to more efficient transportation networks and enhanced urban mobility.
