Concept and prototype development of a wireless traffic light system with a distributed control structure
Abstract
The innovative nature of the developed traffic light system stems from the novelty that it enables wireless technical implementation in a so-called distributed regulatory structure in contrast to the concept of conventional central traffic control equipment (which has remained virtually unchanged since its inception in the early 20th century). On the one hand, the innovation has been implemented on a conceptual level: a detailed technical specification and system of requirements have been set up in order to ensure that the system to be developed complies with all applicable technical regulations / standards and thus guarantees the safe operation provided by conventional traffic control equipment. On the other hand, the development has reached the realization of a specific prototype, which – based on the tests performed so far – proves that it can operate reliably.
