    Abstract: An apparatus for traffic control is disclosed. A method and a system also perform the functions of the apparatus. The apparatus includes an alert module that broadcasts an alert signal to a vehicle on a roadway. The alert indicates a presence of an alert zone along the roadway. The apparatus includes an alert zone module that broadcasts a location of the alert zone, where the alert signal has a signal strength sufficient for an autonomous vehicle control system of the vehicle to receive the alert signal a predefined distance before entering the alert zone as the vehicle approaches the alert zone. The apparatus includes an instruction module that broadcasts one or more instructions regarding driving within the alert zone.

    Abstract: A traffic information update method includes recognizing, by a terminal, a first traffic sign from a road image; detecting whether traffic information of the terminal includes first alert information corresponding to the first traffic sign; if the traffic information of the terminal does not include the first alert information, generating a traffic sign adding instruction corresponding to the first traffic sign; and sending the traffic sign adding instruction to a server. After finding a new traffic sign, the terminal may report a content indication and a location indication of the traffic sign to the server such that the server can directly update traffic information according to the information reported by the terminal.

    Abstract: A method for determining space allocation and signal timing of an isolated signalized intersection consists of at least one remote server and a processing module that is communicably coupled with the at least one remote server. A plurality of traffic-related data, wherein the plurality of traffic-related data reflects activity at the isolated signalized intersection, is received through the processing module. A space determination process is performed on the plurality of traffic-related data through the processing module. Next, a timing determination process is performed on the plurality of traffic-related data through the processing module in order to minimize the average intersection delay at the isolated signalized intersection. Based upon the results from the space determination process and the timing determination process a cycle length is determined for the isolated signalized intersection.

    Abstract: Various examples are provided related to multi-purpose context-aware bumps (CABs) that can support dynamic adaptation of form factors and functionality. In one example, a CAB system can include sensors distributed in a traffic network and communicatively coupled to a remotely located computing environment; context-aware bumps (CABs) placed in the traffic network and communicatively coupled to the remotely located computing environment; and a CAB application configured to adjust a form factor of a CAB in response to information obtained from the sensors and/or CABs. In another example, a method can include receiving, by a remotely located computing environment, traffic information from sensors distributed in a traffic network or CABs placed in the traffic network; communicating, by the remotely located computing environment, a form factor control to a CAB in response to the traffic information; and adjusting a form factor of the CAB in response to the form factor control.
