    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure can provide a road traffic analysis method and an apparatus. The method can comprise obtaining a traffic parameter of a road intersection by analyzing road traffic information of the road intersection, determining a reference adjustment length for each phase of a traffic signal cycle corresponding to each lane of the road intersection based on the road traffic information and the traffic parameter. The traffic signal cycle has one or more phases. The method can also comprise determining a first adjustment length when a difference between the reference adjustment length and the first adjustment length satisfies a condition associated with the lanes of the road intersection and the corresponding traffic parameter, and adjusting the phases of the traffic light cycle at the road intersection based on the first adjustment length for each phase.

    Abstract: A traffic light control assembly includes a plurality of mounting poles each attached to a cross beam of a respective traffic signal at a roadway intersection. A plurality of light detection and ranging sensors is each mounted to a respective mounting pole to be elevated over traffic on the roadway. Each of the light detection and ranging sensors is positioned to sense the number of vehicles that are stopped at an opposing traffic signal. Each of the light detection and ranging sensors is in electrical communication with a remote data unit thereby facilitating the remote data unit to analyze data gathered by each of the light detection and ranging sensors with respect to the number of vehicles. Moreover, the remote data unit adjusts timing of the traffic signals to most efficiently direct traffic through the intersection with respect to the number of vehicles that are approaching the intersection.

    Abstract: A method for controlling traffic lights is provided. The method may include obtaining historical track data of a plurality of vehicles. The method may include obtaining a congestion period. The method may include determining a discharge speed during the congestion period based on a portion of the historical track data corresponding to the congestion period. The method may further include determining an offset value based on a length of the road, the discharge speed, a cycle length of a first traffic light at the downstream intersection, a cycle length of a second traffic light at the upstream intersection, and a time length of a green light of the second traffic light being lit, and determining a signal timing of the second traffic light based on the offset value.

    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling traffic lights of a road geometry network using a cloud-based traffic control system. Methods may include: receiving map data including road network geometry and traffic light locations relative to intersections of the road network geometry; receiving signal phase and timing of traffic lights at the traffic light locations; receiving probe and sensor data from a plurality of probes traversing the road network geometry; analyzing the received probe and sensor data from the plurality of probes relative to the road network geometry and the traffic light locations; determining revised signal phase and timing for at least one traffic light within the road network geometry based on the analyzed probe and sensor data relative to the road network geometry and the traffic light locations; and providing revised signal phase and timing to the at least one traffic light within the road network geometry.

    Abstract: A method of controlling traffic signals on existing grid-like systems of avenues and crossing streets. Two phase traffic signals, red and green, wherein both phases are equal in duration and the amber interval is a part of the green interval. The coordinated two-dimensional progression traffic signal system requires simultaneous changes of the signal cycle at three levels of the designated grid plan. The duration of each phase of the signal cycle is determined by the time required to traverse two contiguous lengths of the optimum grid rectangle. A band length is determinable from the calculation of the duration of the phases and corresponds to the integral number of roadway intersections to be crossed by a vehicle. Between bands, adjacent band widths are in the reciprocal phase from one another. Between avenues, parallel band widths on adjacent avenues and streets are also in reciprocal phases from one another, and between interphases. Interfacing band ends are also in a reciprocal phasing sequence relation to one another, so as to produce a checkerboard pattern of alternating red and green phases of the traffic signals, shown in band interfaces mesh into one another in a saw tooth pattern..

    Abstract: A synchronization device for the control of an automobile traffic signal in synchronization with other traffic signals in the system. A present time clock in the device operates from the local alternating current power source. The synchronization device calculates the time difference between the present time and a daily re-synchronization time, divides that time difference by the length of the operating cycle of traffic signal, and generates a synchronization pulse whenever the residue of the division is zero. An offset or time-delay is added to the synchronization pulse and the traffic signal is operated in response to the delayed synchronization pulse so as to operate with the desired time delay in coordination with the other signals in the system.
