Florida, Gainesville has expanded its smart traffic lights programme in a partnership with Connected Signals and the University of Gainesville Transportation Institute’s I-Street project. Since the pilot launched in April 2017, nearly all Florida’s traffic lights have been linked to Connected Signals’ smart signal information. The technology aggregates real-time traffic light data and using predictive algorithms it determines information such as when lights will change, which is passed on to drivers via an app. The data can help drivers adjust their speed to ensure a string of green lights, helping to improve fuel efficiency and reduce accidents.
