Traffic-light control in urban environment exploiting drivers’ reaction to the expected red lights duration

Older Drivers and Failure to Stop at Red Lights

BACKGROUND Despite sensational news reports, few studies have quantified the rates of poor driving performance among older drivers and the predictors of poor performance. We determined the rate of running red traffic lights among older drivers and the relationship of failure to stop to measures of vision and cognition. METHODS Multiple measures of vision and cognition were collected at the ba...

Organic Control of Traffic Lights

Simulation Of Traffic Lights Control

Simulation of traffic control is very important nowadays for dealing with increasing urban traffic. It helps to construct the strategy of traffic lights switching and determine alternative path in the case of an accident or traffic jam. In the paper we present the application of simulation tool DYNASIM being used by French company DYNALOGIC. It has big number of alternative possibilities in mod...

Fuzzy Traffic Light Control Using Cellular Automata for Urban Traffic

Vehicular travel which demands on the concurrent operations and parallel activities is increasing throughout the world, particularly in large urban areas. Most of the models introduced in the recent years are formulated using the language of cellular automata (CA). In this paper, to control urban traffic, we study the simulation and optimization of traffic light controllers in a city and presen...

Effect of Flashing Brake Lights on Drivers\' Brake Reaction Time ‎and Release Gas Pedal Time

Objective: It is believed that drivers play a crucial role in accidents. Paying attention to brake lights, a driver may find out about danger and react. Rear-end collision accidents refer to the part of the accidents due to driver inattention or slow reaction. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of dynamic flashing brake lights (7 Hz) on drivers' brake reaction time using the driv...
