TMO Highways representatives have recently been meeting with members of various local councils for an on-site demonstration of the cutting-edge technology behind intelligent traffic light systems. The council members were highly impressed with the system’s ability to automatically adjust traffic light timings in real time, ensuring optimal traffic flow and reducing congestion.
Unlike traditional traffic management adjustment methods, which often require manual intervention with the presence of traffic personnel to monitor and adjust signal timings, these intelligent lights operate autonomously. By continuously analysing traffic patterns and responding dynamically to changing conditions, adjusting the light timings for each end of the works to keep traffic flowing efficiently. They also eliminate the need for on-site personnel, reducing labour costs and minimizing human error. This also enhances safety by removing workers from potentially hazardous roadside environments, lowering the risk of accidents and ensuring a more seamless traffic management process.
Designed to function effectively in a wide range of traffic conditions, these intelligent signals are equally beneficial on quiet roads and heavily congested routes. By keeping traffic moving efficiently, they not only improve journey times but also contribute to lower emissions and increased road safety for all users, including drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. With this advanced technology, local authorities can expect better managed traffic management, enhancing overall transport efficiency while prioritizing public safety. We currently have a fleet of over 100 intelligent traffic lights covering the Essex, Hertfordshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Bedfordshire, The Midlands, Cambridge & Lincolnshire, and London and the TFL network.
