Goal and impact
The purpose of this algorithm is to test and control the traffic schemes.
Considerations
These algorithms provide insight into traffic and traffic flows at a traffic light. The disadvantages of this algorithm is that it can sometimes give false reports. A failure of a loop, for example, can give an unjustified report of a redditor.
Human intervention
The algorithm collects the data and presents it in a dashboard. This data is used by municipal employees to review and monitor traffic policies and settings.
Risk management
The municipality complies with applicable legislation regarding disclosure of data to third parties and data retention.
Legal basis
The Road Traffic Act 1994 (WVW) is the basis for all traffic rules. The basic principle here is the smoothness and flow of traffic and that no one should cause a nuisance or danger on the road.

Sensors of traffic lights, loops in the road
Technical design
Traffic lights collect data and through the algorithm this is translated into information about the traffic light. This data appears in a dashboard.
For more information on the information collected, see also algorithms Intelligent Traffic Control Installation (iVRI) at traffic lights and traffic light installations.

Similar algorithm descriptions
- 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.Last change on 27th of June 2024, at 13:04 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
