Green Youth - Traffic Signal Timing Estimation and Optimization
FY 2018-19 · 2019-03-15
Summary
The Fortran GLIDE I2V (Infrastructure to Vehicle) solution provides operational information from traffic signals to drivers in a format that will allow a driver to make more informed decisions regarding the operation of their vehicle. This will have the effect of decreasing the amount of fuel consumed, reducing the number of stops, lowering emissions as well as easing driver frustration. This project involves development of algorithms to accurately estimate the timing of the traffic signal as well as development of methods to use this information for optimization of traffic signal timing.

Description (French)
La solution « Fortran GLIDE I2V (Infrastructure to Vehicle) » fournit de l'information opérationnelle des feux de circulation aux conducteurs dans un format, qui leur permettra de prendre des décisions plus éclairées concernant la conduite de leur véhicule. Cela aura pour effet de diminuer la quantité de carburant consommée, de réduire le nombre d'arrêts, de diminuer les émissions et d'atténuer la frustration des conducteurs. Ce projet comprend le développement d'algorithmes permettant d'estimer avec précision le moment où les feux de circulation seront allumés, ainsi que le développement de méthodes pour utiliser cette information afin d'optimiser le moment où les feux de circulation seront allumés.
