Intelligent traffic control installation (iVRI)

This algorithm has a low impact. Because the smart traffic lights are able to 'recognise' traffic, it becomes possible to prioritise certain traffic flows over others.

Goal and impact

Because smart traffic lights are able to 'recognise' traffic, it becomes possible to give certain traffic flows priority over others. For example, large groups of cyclists, public transport and (heavy) freight traffic. This allows traffic to flow more efficiently at busy intersections.

  • Whereas ordinary traffic lights register by detection loops (sensors in the road) that traffic is passing over, 'smart' traffic lights additionally register via apps what kind and how much traffic is coming. This allows traffic lights to see traffic "arriving" earlier and thus determine how long the traffic light is on green.
